Volvo will build a new crossover vehicle based on its C30 hatchback, a new report finds. The new CUV — which will likely be named the XC30 — will have five doors and use an all-wheel drive system. The Swedish automaker recently announced that it would produce a five-door version of its C30.
The expansion of the 30 line of vehicles is also believed to eventually displace the S40 sedan. The S40 will merge with the S60, creating one mid-size sedan. No V series wagon is expected for the 60 lineup as the V70 already fills that niche. However, an XC60 is expected to bow in the coming years.
The larger XC90 CUV was reported to be canceled earlier this year, a report later refuted by Volvo.
