Volvo XC60 first in line for production
click above image for more pics of the Volvo XC60 Concept
Volvo is keen to expand its range with several radically styled all-new models, the first of which is likely to be a production version of the XC60 crossover. Displayed in concept form at the Detroit Auto Show back in January, the XC60 is a departure from Volvo's traditional boxy approach and there's a good chance that these same lines will carry over to the production car. One thing we're pretty sure of though is that the production car's interior won't be anywhere near as cool as the one in concept's cockpit.

I hope it looks identical to the show car. The XC60 Concept is phenomenally beautiful. The geniuses at Volvo should run the entire company at Ford.

It looks identical to the show car because it IS the show car. I'll wait for production model pics before making any judgments.

What part of "I hope" did you miss? I'm fully aware that the pics here are of the show car.

Is it me, or does this look like a rebadged Mazda CX-7?

It's you. I don't think it looks anything like a CX-7.

I like the idea of a smaller Volvo suv, but I sure hope it looks better then this! I do like the interior though.

Why does the media still make comments about Volvo's traditional "boxy approach". It has almost been 10 years since Volvo made a boxy car. I am surprised at how dumb some of the people are who write this stuff. Get over it, Volvo has some of the best looking cars in the business right now.

I hope that they release this car with the D5 diesel engine in USA. I'm moving there next year and would love to bring with me any Volvo model (like the S40) with a D5 engine but I don't think I can do that. All these sucky rules should be removed.

Unfortunately, I doubt that this will be offered with a diesel. Americans aren't ready for that. But wow this car is sharp. The tailgate isn't going to fly at all....why all the movement, just give us a lift gate???? This car should be in production already...but better late than never when you are offering this.

i really wonder what volvo will make the XC100 look like. From what i have gathered from around the net that car might be at Frankfurt in September of this year
