Volvo, a Swedish automotive manufacturer, is planning to market its newest product, called the XC40 in 2020. That being said, this one particular car is thick with the vibe of the future, considering the engine of the car will utilize an All-Electric engine.
Interestingly, the XC40 is the only model that has implemented the latest body frame called the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) which is the product of the cooperation between Volvo and Geely under China Euro Vehicle Technology (CEVT).
This body frame has been developed since 2013 and the carmaker claims that their new technology will provide a flexible impact on vehicle speed, due to special arrangements between the front wheel and the Pedal Box.
Exterior
The exterior design of the Volvo XC40 looks very fashionable since it was crafter with minimalist and futuristic nuances. The front face looks calmer with a soft-lined grille and without sharp curves.
The Volvo XC40 was deliberately designed to appear concise and completely minimalist. The modern feel is still very thick thanks to the choice of black for the side Grille, front bumper, and fog lamp placemat.
On the other hand, this futuristic car is also strengthened by the use of LED Daytime Running Light (DRL) lights. The adoption will successfully convey the future essence of the front fascia that works in harmony with the use of the engine that is full-electric.
The crossover vibe feels stronger on the side glass in the passenger seat that appears sharp but with pillar c which is super SUV-style. It is also supported strongly through the use of Two-Tone Color on the roof so it looks sporty. Finally, the rim design is designed aggressively combined with fairly high ground clearance.
The stern sector itself is packed with a minimalist sized rear spoiler which further clarifies the essence of the crossover on this model. The rear lights are also made aggressive with a unique look. The Volvo XC40 uses lights that are large enough to look more athletic than any other car in the market.
