Volvo said that their entry into the small premium SUV segment is proving popular among car buyers, with global XC40 orders already exceeding 20,000 units. Production began in December 2017 in Belgium and delivery to dealers started earlier this month.

Following its successful introduction to European and American markets, the XC40 will launch in China, the world’s largest car market, at the Beijing Auto Show this spring.

The company is excited with the positive response from the global media as well. Also, the XC40 is one of seven shortlisted for the 2018 European Car of the Year, the winner of which will be announced in March.

The XC40 is the first model on Volvo Cars’ new compact modular vehicle architecture (CMA), which will underpin all upcoming cars in the 40 Series, including fully electrified vehicles. Co-developed within Geely, CMA provides the company with the necessary economies of scale for this segment.

The XC40 is also the first Volvo to come with a car-sharing feature, enabled via Volvo’s digital key technology and its connected services platform Volvo On Call. XC40 owners can simply share their car with family and friends without having to hand over a physical key.

The XC40 has already been listed in the official India website and the company plans to launch it by mid-2018.
