The Volvo Concept Estate is the third instalment in Volvo’s three-part concept series, which began with the Volvo Concept Coupe in September 2013 and was followed by the Concept XC Coupe in January. All three concepts are founded on Volvo’s new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) and use an as yet unspecified version of the company’s low emission Drive-E engine range.
The Concept Estate’s design echoes the Volvo’s penchant for minimalism both inside and out. Volvo says the interior will leave you feeling as if you’re in a Scandinavian living room, thanks to high-end materials like naturally tanned saddle leather and inlays from naturally aged waxed wood. The Swedes also say we can expect to see their future vehicles borrowing a similar layout, beginning with the all-new XC90 expected later this year.
