    All-new Volvo XC40 to debut in April

    The Geneva motor show has been a big affair, with automakers from across the globe using the event to launch their latest products and concepts on to the global stage. While many automakers are set to make big launches at the show this year, Volvo seems to be considering otherwise with the all-new XC40.

    Volvo’s 40-series crossover is expected to make its global debut at the Shanghai auto show in April this year with the debut expected to coincide with the launch of the production 01 SUV from its Chinese sister brand Lynk & Co. As per reports, both models are expected to be manufactured side-by-side in a new facility in China, with the all-new Volvo S40 expected to join at a later stage.

    Volvo previewed the next-gen 40 series models with two concepts – the 40.1 and 40.2 concepts – at an event in Sweden in May last year.

    Owned by Geely, Volvo and Lynk & Co share the CMA platform, with the latter developing an SUV and a sedan on the shared modular platform.

    For Geneva, though, Volvo is expected to debut the next-gen XC60 SUV. The all-new model will be underpinned by the SPA platform from the 90-series models and is expected to be available with a choice of petrol, diesel and hybrid powertrains.
