Volvo set to excite with new Concept XC Coupe

VOLVO’S new design language has been taken to the next level with the first glimpse of a concept that previews its future ‘XC’ series of cars.

The Concept XC Coupe will be given its full debut at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in January, but Volvo has released a trio of pictures as a teaser ahead of time.

In each of the pictures the car is capped by a slimline roof box, which hints at its lifestyle aspirations.

Senior Vice President of Design at Volvo, Thomas Ingenlath, who joined the company with the remit of creating a more passionate, iconic design for the brand to move forward with, is responsible for the new look, which will eventually inspire road cars.

This is the second of three planned design concepts using the new look. The first, the Concept Coupe, was a sleek high-end car for tech-savvy business users, whereas the Concept XC is biased towards an active Scandinavian lifestyle.

Full details and more pictures are expected on January 8, ahead of the NAIAS opening day.
