Designed to demonstrate vital elements of Volvo’s new scalable product architecture, the two-door, four-seater Concept XC Coupe has an obvious connection with its sibling, the Volvo Concept Coupé. However, the larger 21-inch wheels, more accentuated wheel-arches and taller roofline of the XC Coupe come together to form a much more robust look. In order to achieve the proper balance between aesthetics and functionality, the design team incorporated traditional SUV elements like side moldings and skid plates. The front of the concept is characterized by a new topography on the bonnet and the “floating” grille, flanked by headlights featuring new T-shaped DRL light guides. The rear light signature is also a distinctive element in the new design direction of the brand.
