2015 Volvo XC Concept has gained two distinguished awards at the Detroit
Auto Show in the week for us. The XC Coupe Concept has been awarded as
the very best concept car in 2014 and within EyesON Design honor at this
event.At the same time, the latest concept model of the Swedish company
was awarded the “Best Use of Color Graphics and Materials.”
Unlike the slinky, low-slung two-door Concept Coupe, the Concept XC
Coupe is a three-door crossover hatchback, using on substantial 21-inch
tires and wearing amazing white paint with appealing splashes of orange
paint glancing out occasionally. A custom-designed payload cover ahead
hints the sporting way of life of its motorist. Dove gray matte rubber
utilized for various trim items, and also the whole back end of the car,
is incredibly cool in concept (makings it ideal for a concept car,
obviously) however we anticipate would certainly accumulate scuffs
quicker than your favorite white tennis shoes– we tremble to consider
keeping it tidy in the winter.
While the light matte stuff may or may not be suited for
manufacturing, there are plenty of design aspects– additionally found on
the beautiful Concept Coupe, by the way– that absolutely are. And the
2015 Volvo XC Concept taillamps however preview the awesome back light
signature that will grace the derrieres of Volvo’s approaching wagons
and crossovers.
Less evident but equally substantial is the significant range between
the front wheel axle and the dash panel, an aspect of the brand-new
Scalable Product Architecture (“SPA”) that will be discussed by all
upcoming Volvos for the not far off future. Why is that vital? Visually,
its presses the front tires forward, creating a stylish, lengthy hood
proportion while including mechanical little bits and efficiently found
collision structures beneath the skin. The 2015 Volvo XC Concept
additionally showcased this, and we surmise that the following concept
automobile in the set will, as well.
While it is doubtful that an SUV with merely three doors and 4 seats would make much feeling to Volvo as a manufacturing version, simply include another door opening up on each side and you have an opposition to the Mercedes-Benz GLK, Acura RDX, and BMW X1, to name a few.

Volvo’s new design instructions, at the very least as indicated by
the Concept Coupe and the Concept XC Coupe, includes “psychological
value to the Volvo brand with the calm, positive appeal that is the
trademark of Scandinavian design,” claims Volvo’s design principal
Thomas Ingenlath.
We don’t know yet what the 3rd and final concept is going to be but
you could anticipate that it will appear by summertime, likely at the
Geneva Motor Show in March, or the New York Auto Show in April. The very
first manufacturing version to wear Volvo’s slick face-lift will
certainly be the 2016 XC90, due to arrive very early next year.
