The first SUV Volvo XC90 was back in 2002, which was followed in 2008 Volvo XC60, currently the bestselling model of the brand. Moreover, since there are 90 different versions of their cars, as the recent Volvo V60 Cross Country.

Hokan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo, said told Autocar that the downsizing trend in the size of the cars are making more and more customers decant for small or medium SUVs. This way we could see 2020 the smallest SUV in the range, Volvo XC40 and probably called based on the new modular platform, developed jointly with CMA parent Geely. This would be a model to compete with cars like the Volkswagen Tiguan, Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA, plus all the generalists.
Volvo has set a goal of reaching 800,000 units annually by the year 2020. Currently, there are more advanced in Ecuador, and to grow they need to be renewing its model range. The Volvo XC90 was the first step that will be followed by the replacement of the S80 and then S60 and V40, but not forgotten Gothenburg SUV and have in mind to launch a smaller model to the market that currently make up its range, but not in the short term. Within four years the XC90 is the oldest model in the range.
Meanwhile the brand will upgrade the rest of their model range in search of higher returns. As new versions convertibles or coupes, they will wait until the new models come to fruition. The first is to focus on the models that move more volume because they are the most profitable. Of course all future Volvo XC40 will remain faithful to the philosophy of engines mounted four-cylinder, often relying on mechanical hybrid plug.
