SCOOP: New Volvo XC40 Crossover Caught Disguised and…Undisguised

<a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06/scoop-new-volvo-xc40-crossover-caught.html"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5750598525716671794" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WudG0Oq0xuc/T8465CM6LTI/AAAAAAAH0ZQ/nWRPC_Zky28/s800/Volvo-XC40-111.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; Border: 1px solid rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor:hand;width: 645px; height: 349px;"></a><br><span style="font-family:Verdana;">At the same time our spy shooters were snagging pictures of Volvo's engineers testing a camouflaged prototype of the upcoming crossover <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/02/full-skinny-on-new-volvo-v40-including.html">version of the V40</a>, a member of the Dutch <span style="font-style: italic;">Volvo Forum</span> hit the jackpot by spotting the production model completely undisguised during a photo shoot. </span> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The compact crossover will likely be named the XC40 with its presentation possibly taking place as early as this fall at the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/02/search/label/Paris%20Auto%20Show/">2012 Paris Motor Show</a>. </span> </p><p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-05Zzkhx03F0/T847AHjfjHI/AAAAAAAH0Zc/2IJMoYCm7Oc/s1600/Volvo-XC40-5.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5750598647412657266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-05Zzkhx03F0/T847AHjfjHI/AAAAAAAH0Zc/2IJMoYCm7Oc/s200/Volvo-XC40-5.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(51, 51, 51); width: 119px; height: 81px;"></a><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Judging by these photos, the XC40 is to the V40 what the XC70 is to the V70. In other words, a soft off-roader version of the V40 with a slightly tougher look that benefits from a raised ride height, an assortment of robust plastic cladding, prominent roof rails and perhaps either standard or optional all-wheel-drive system. </span> </p><a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06/scoop-new-volvo-xc40-crossover-caught.html#more">Read more »</a>
