Volvo Concept C Coupe officially unveiled


Volvo has officially unveiled their Concept Coupe ahead of its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Designed to signal the end of Volvo's "vanilla days," the Concept Coupe is a luxurious Gran Tourer that previews the company's new styling language.

Starting up front, the Concept Coupe has a sporty front fascia with a 'floating’ grille and T-shaped LED daytime running lights that will become a hallmark of the brand. Moving further back, we can see a contoured hood, a stylish greenhouse and an elegant rear end that recalls the iconic P1800. Other notable features include a panoramic glass roof and 21-inch alloy wheels.

The luxurious styling continues in the cabin as the model is equipped with premium leather upholstery, grey wood trim and gloss black accents. There's also a head-up display and a large touchscreen infotainment system.

Motivation is provided by a plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a 2.0-liter Drive-E petrol engine and an electric motor that powers the rear axle. It enables the model to produce a combined maximum output of approximately 400 bhp (298 kW) and over 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque.

According to Volvo's Senior Vice President of Design, Thomas Ingenlath, “The Volvo Concept CoupĂ© is no futuristic dream car. It is designed to demonstrate the capability of our new architecture: the confident stance, the proportions and the most prominent design signatures. Even though the all-new XC90 is an entirely different type of car, you will recognize the connection instantly when it is revealed next year."
