Pretty underwhelming presentation but the car looks nice.

Completely agree on presentation, how dull and lacklustre!! I guess that is Volvo's way though, they don't do glitz like you'd see in many other car brand launches. But not even a single image projected while they talked about the interior design! Dull as!

Looks ok, not convinced by the huge c pillars.

Very poor presentation and not a fan of the two-tone paintwork.

Some proper facts would have been nice, what about variants, features, new technology. Looked like some kids inflatable playground in the corner of a hired hotel room. I bet so much has gone into making this car so such a shame really.
Anyone know where the car will be produced.

I have just looked on the Whatcar website - www.whatcar.com - details of prices and specs are on there. Prices from £27905 to £39305, only D4 and T5 engine available for now, both with AWD, further engines and FWD available later.

Also only Momentum and R-Design (with their Pro variants) available for now, Inscription available later.

Apparently they are available to order now....please form an orderly queue!!

The Guys just designed a car, congratulations fella, looks good.!
Clearly the markets like where this one sits, my GEELY shares up over 700% now in 1 year, nearly enough to buy an XC40 when I retire!?
best regards

Just had a look at the vid out of curiosity from this thread, its just another car as far as I can see.
Its hilarious watching all the clowns with phones held high recording this monumental world-changing event LOL.

Ah, but they have kicked-up the lines with scallops! Where do I sign up? LOL

Its a funny old world.
