The XC40 is the first of the Swedish brand鈥檚 cars to be launched on its all-new platform architecture, called Compact Modular Architecture (CMA). But Volvo plans to quickly expand its line-up on the new chassis, with the next model expected to be a replacement for the ageing V40 hatchback. The new V40 will look a little wider than the XC40 because, while the two cars are actually likely to feature the same width at the front axle, the newcomer鈥檚 lower roofline will give the car a more aggressive stance. As previewed by our images, the V40 will incorporate elements from the 40.2 concept, which was shown alongside the 40.1 that ultimately became the XC40. The next V40 is also likely to adopt the XC40鈥檚 wheelbase, which is usefully longer than that of the existing hatchback. That should help the new car to deliver more room in the rear, potentially making it more spacious than the rival A3 and 1 Series.
The V40 is likely to have a more dynamic feel than the comfort-oriented XC40. Volvo鈥檚 head of research and development, Henrik Green, told Auto Express that CMA gives his team the flexibility to produce very different types of vehicles. 鈥淐MA is a good platform to build the SUV - the XC40 - but we can also build low, dynamic cars with it,鈥?he said. 鈥淴C40 aims for an urban environment, giving you comfort and also the commanding view in the traffic and at junctions. The V40鈥檚 engine line-up will include the four-cylinder D3 and D4 diesels, plus three-cylinder T3 and four-cylinder T4 and T5 petrols. Crucially, though, CMA has been designed from the outset with electrification in mind, and the forthcoming plug-in hybrid and pure-electric versions of the XC40 will be mirrored by electrified V40s. This approach could help Volvo in the premium hatchback market, mirroring Volkswagen鈥檚 policy of producing a fully electric version of the Golf, while both Mercedes and BMW have opted to produce standalone EVs instead. 鈥淚n purely physical terms, we have to fit the battery in the floor,鈥?Green said, 鈥渂ut CMA gives us pretty good bandwidth. Everything from the full SUV height down to fairly low cars is possible. Expect many of the XC40鈥檚 practical touches to make it across to the V40, at least on the options list. These should include the foldable boot floor, extra-large door bins (with bass speakers moved to behind the dashboard), the takeaway bag hook on the glovebox, as well as drawers beneath the seats. Green says Volvo might consider smaller models in the future. 鈥淵ou can probably do a smaller car with the CMA platform,鈥?Green said, 鈥渂ut we鈥檙e not actively looking at that right now.
