2018 Volvo XC40

Looks like the all new XC40 Compact SUV from Volvo is ready to go.

It also looks like it will be very close to the concept we saw last year.
Which is a good thing. Since it was a pretty original design, compared to other small SUVs around.

These are just illustrations. From last year’s concept. And they do look great.

But… I still think they will keep the “hidden” rear door handle the concept had.
I think Volvo is fooling everyone by putting fake ones on the prototypes driving around.

Like on this one.

The front and rear door handles don’t seem to align properly.
I think the rear door handles are part of the rear doors. Like on the concepts.
And others, like the Nissan Juke.

Here is the concept. With the hidden rear door handles. On top of the door. Close to the roof.
