Don't let this test vehicle's proportions deceive you – there's stretched
Volvo C30 architecture under all of that cladding. Yes,
Volvo is working on expanding its
C30 range with the addition of this, the upcoming V30, set to rival the
Audi A3 and recently redone
BMW 1 Series hatchback in Europe. There's also a high-riding
crossover variant, tentatively dubbed XC30 (go figure) in the cards.
The V30 will launch along side or shortly after the next-generation C30 hatch, and this prototype previews the new 30 family's design. In front, we can see smaller, more angular headlamps that better mimic what we see on the S60, and around back, we can see a more shapely taillamp design, still incorporating Volvo's signature all-the-way-up-the-D-pillar lighting scheme.
Look for the V30 to officially debut in late 2012 or early 2013.
