This is the second of three concept cars designed to show the way Volvo is heading, and it will debut next week at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, writes Brian Byrne.
The Concept XC Coupe takes the Concept Coupe that wowed those attending the Frankfurt show last autumn to a level aimed at buyers who have a more active lifestyle.
The 2-door, 4-seater features larger 21" wheels, more accentuated wheel-arches and a taller roofline.
Traditional SUV elements, such as side mouldings and skid plates, have been given a modern interpretation, more flush with the surrounding body areas.
Volvo Cars paved the way for a completely new segment by introducing the V70 Cross Country in 1997. The range has been continuously developed and extended since then. Presently, it spans from the Volvo V40 Cross Country, via the XC60 and XC70, to the XC90.
