More SUVs on the way from Volvo
The XC60 sports utility vehicle is still two years away from Volvo showrooms, but a baby brother is being planned – and other new models in the same vein could follow. That’s the message from the Swedish car maker’s vice-president of brand, business and product strategy, Lex Kerssemakers. Unveiled as a concept early this month at the Detroit Motor Show, the XC60 (above) will go on sale in early 2009 alongside the larger XC90 and V70-based XC70. It'll be virtually unchanged from the Detroit concept shown here.
'My job is to fill in the numbers…'
Kerssemakers told CAR Online: 'We are happy with our S range of saloons; there will be no additional model that will go higher than the S80. And we are happy with our range of C cars, the C30 and C70. The next step for us will be growth of the XC range we created 10 years ago.' And dropping the biggest clue yet that more than car was on the way, he added: 'My job is to fill in some of the numbers between XC10 and XC90 [above]. We can do this - there’s space for them.'
