While many concept cars will stay as such, the Volvo 40 Series Concept Cars are set to start being produced in 2017 in a variety of models to suit drivers of all kinds. Including the 40.1 crossover and the 40.2 sedan, the concept cars deviate from the brands usual design aesthetic to go for clean, contemporary curves and focus on angles.
Volvo is a brand synonymous with safety and is rarely associated with any bold vehicular design changes that switch up perceptions of the brand. However, the Volvo 40 Series Concept Cars identify that the brand is getting more serious about providing an exceptional ride that stands out even further with looks on the road.
The vehicles are set to be available in either a twin engine plug-in hybrid or an electric model.
