Manufacture the Volvo S40 in China for the local market

After years selling Volvos imported through a network of import created in the mid-90s, the Swedish company will start producing its new Volvo S40 model in China. With the rates of import set at 25 percent, Volvo could not remain competitive in the segment of mid-size sedans, so it was no choice but to build its own factory to meet the demand of the Chinese market.

For the moment, the Chinese production will be limited to the new Volvo S40 model, which will be assembled on the premises of Changan Ford in Chongqing, where Volvo expects to manufacture 10,000 units a year.

For now it seems that there are no plans to join right away the most luxurious models of Volvo in the Middle Kingdom, although plans to manufacture the Volvo C70 convertible in China for 2007, followed by brand and its new S80.

Said goodbye to the Volvo S40 and hello to a new crossover

Automotive News continues husking Scandinavian developments that we will see between 2007 and 2010, this time by hand Volvo. The recently launched S80 will not see big changes, nor will the new VolvoC70, VolvoC30 and VolvoV70. The new Volvo S40, however, will not make much noise through the back door, since it is located too close to the S60 in terms of price and size of the differences are slim. To smooth the transition, the S60 to be launched in 2010 will be smaller than the current, which will serve the one hand to differentiate more than S80, and the other to keep customers interested in an new Volvo S40.
new Volvo S40
As for developments with more substance, to compensate for the loss Volvo will introduce a new crossover in 2009, when the streets will reach the XC60. Given that the market does not seem to have enough vehicles of this type for sale, the arrival of another SUV-that-is-no-this will help the Swedes to fight todocaminos as the BMW X3. Its basic structure is apparently the same as the Land Rover Freelander, so we assume that the experience behind the wheel will be similar, although somewhat more dynamic. Basically, what we see in the next three years will be the abandonment of the P2 platform developed in the 90s for the first S80, and a migration towards the different versions of the EUCD.
