Volvo P20: A city in premium boxes of Volvo

February 1, 2010 at 3:15

Decide whether a segment of the automotive market that attracts greed is at work and the R & D manufacturers, it is that of urban premium. Initiated by the Mini, it seems that this segment wants to grow significantly in coming years, I want to show the Mini, the MiTo, the DS3, the A1, the Ypsilon future, the future very small and BMW few others whose names I forget ...

So without further ado here is a first preview of what this future might P20 to be below the C30 in the range Volvo.

We discovered a small car from 4 m to the dynamic look, modern (drawing recalling a bit of that but that's normal Fiesta Ford is still in place!), Proposed here in 3 doors. This small luxury car would be available in petrol, diesel and Flexifuel with new engines 3 and 4 cylinder with or without turbo. The P20 could be offered with a new BVR6 plus BVM5 and BVM6 normally available.

The P20 which studies suggest has already committed his future or not confirmed as requested by the next owner of the Swedish brand, namely the Chinese Geely. One can also imagine logically that P20 will be the first Volvo assembled in China Geely prevail if the case in 8 days.

Remains a very nice car but it does have a future, for now it is too early to say and now we can only hope ... hope is like our friend Nabu! In any case, this is a niche that Saab should invest with a small 9-1 which would probably place this new segment.
