Too Tired Of The Luxury Suvs We Have Currently? This One Will Snatch Your Attention...
There’s a quiet revolution going on at Volvo India right now. I’m going to take the liberty of speaking on its behalf when I say that the future’s bright. Look at how it’s progressed: from being a relatively unknown brand in the luxury space, it’s built itself up to the point that you’d be downright foolish to not consider Volvo along with the rest of the Germans and the Japs. And I honestly believe that we’re all the better for it. I’ve been blown away by some of Volvos cars recently. It’s no secret that it makes some great machines abroad, but India’s only recently benefitted from that undeniable lineage, and that’s just fantastic for us. I won’t delve into its lineup here because, well, that’s not the point of the story, but the fact of the matter is that very few have gotten me as excited as what you see on these pages. Welcome the new XC40 with open arms, then, people.
What is it, though? Simply put, it’s a direct answer to the BMW X1, the Mercedes-Benz GLA and the Audi Q3. It’s the first SUV to be based on the CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform, and Volvo’s pretty chuffed about that, so I thought I’d mention it here. It’s a big deal for it because it’ll form the basis of a bunch of new cars coming up in the future, and if the XC40 is any indication of things to come, I’d say bring it. Fast.
