Volvo expands its lines of Wagon vehicles It is expected that the early arrival of the XC60 crossover, Volvo will have five cars or filters. And the good news is that this is only the beginning.
Volvo is currently investigating the possibility of moving both upscale and low-end of the current market V50, V70, XC90 and XC60 company executives said in an interview at the recent Auto Show in Detroit.
According to Steven Armstrong, BBC, Volvo Car Corporation, Volvo is well known for his versatility. We were the production of filters before the term was even coined. There are still many opportunities to fill gaps with new things. "
Volvo has created a luxury wagon concept called the Versatility Concept Car. They have already introduced this concept car at the Auto Show in Geneva in 2003 and V90 will be renamed once it is produced. The family concept of luxury as a concept vehicle is loaded with only the best auto parts imaginable, even the coil Volvo loaded on it are very special.
Volvo also is studying the possibility of producing small filters smaller than the XC60 said Lex Kerssemakers, Volvo Car senior vice president of brand business and product strategy.
The XC60 is about the same size as the BMW X3 or Acura RDX and are moving on the platform that Ford Motor Corporation EUCD also produces the S80 sedan. But so far, only the V50 which is considered the carrier only people moving on the C1 platform Ford. According to Armstrong, such a vehicle would be a logical next step for people who entered the Volvo C30 hatchback or sedan with the S40.
And as for the V90, Kerssemakers said it was "high on my wish list, but we must be realistic. There is a limit to what a small organization can do." If there is a segment that Volvo will not go vans in its segment. Kerssemakers said: "The XC90 is our interpretation to seven seats. We are happy with it. Our customers are happy with it. "
One factor that hampers the Volvo venturing into the minivan segment is its lack of engineering resources. Kerssemakers says that Volvo must ensure that its current line-up is profitable before attempting to expand into new areas. He added: "All these variants cost a lot of money. But it is easier to cancel or reduce the volume of a vehicle that suddenly playing catch-up. "
Volvo accounted for nearly half of its sales in the United States in 2006 of its cars and rows of crosses.
