The pale Amazon Blue option (pictured in the gallery combined with a white roof and mirrors) is so-called because it’s the exact same shade as a paint code offered on the 1964 Volvo Amazon. Now-classic Volvo details like ‘Thor’s Hammer’ LED headlight graphics and tall L-shaped tail-lights are all present, but the new crossover has deliberately blocky surfacing, and a more energetic colour palette than the sober shades offered on its sibling models. It’s a new design – it’s not a scale model of a 90- or 60-series car,’ he says. Lead exterior designer Ian Kettle describes it as ‘a tough little robot. Its kicked-up rear door windowline and broad-based C-pillar are particularly striking, lending the design a different, blockier vibe from the larger XC60 and XC90 siblings. The XC40’s styling remains very faithful to that of the well-received Concept 40.1 show car originally revealed in May 2016. First deliveries in the UK began early in 2018. Production started at Volvo’s Ghent factory in Belgium in November 2017. So we have the right product for the future.’ Speaking at the car’s unveil, company president Håkan Samuelsson says the XC40 is ‘intended for a very important segment – probably the world’s fastest-growing segment: small, premium SUVs. This is the right car at the right time for Volvo. It’s built around a new compact car platform Volvo calls CMA (Compact Modular Architecture), which will be shared with the Swedish car maker’s Chinese parent company, Geely. The new car kicked off modern-era Volvo’s third and, for now, final model line, the 40-series. The XC40 range was officially unveiled in Milan in late 2017 before UK sales started in February 2018, marking the company’s first proper go at the baby SUV market.
