Volvo introduces 40 Series concept cars, based on our new Compact Modular Architecture – CMA architecture.

The newly-revealed 40 series concepts demonstrate for the first time how Volvo plans to expand into the large and lucrative global market for premium small cars with a range of vehicles that combine bold exterior and interior design with industry-leading connectivity, electrification and autonomous drive technologies.

Håkan Samuelsson, president and chief executive, said:

“The new 40 series cars have the potential to improve our market penetration in an important growing segment. An electric powertrain program including both a new compact Twin Engine plug-in hybrid as well as a pure electric car are central to the CMA architecture.”

The new models are expected to go into production in 2017.
