Inform: Volvo XC30 compress crossover entrance in 2012
Most like a 3 Series-based BMW X1, Volvo is reportedly hard during work upon its own diminutive soft-roader, modeled on the C30 hatchback. A brand-new small crossover, said to be dubbed XC30 (natch), will ride on a slightly taller version of the C30’s chassis, and while a drivetrain and powerplants have been expected to be straight out of a three-door hatch, it’s been reported which the styling will be some-more akin to that of the incomparable XC60 CUV.
The addition of the small(er) crossover to Volvo’s lineup doesn’t shock us, generally given other European luxury marques have discussed a possibility of creating crossovers in this segment as well. Audi is presumably operative upon a Q3 to container next the hot-selling Q5, as well as Mercedes-Benz has been rumored to be formulating a crossover based upon a next-generation B-Class, possibly called BLK.
Volvo is also pronounced to be operative upon the five-door wagon-like version of the C30 Presumably called V30), though which ostens ible project stays in murkier tools of the rumormill for now. Demeanour for the XC30 crossover to crawl sometime in 2012.
