Now that Volvo’s flagship sedan and SUV has finally been revealed, the attention now shifts toward the other vehicles in its line-up. This includes the next-generation Volvo XC60, which has been rendered as a coupe by Theophilus Chin here.
With strong influences from the larger XC90, this imagining of a XC60 coupe features the brand’s trademark “Thor hammer” daytime running light and grille. Other design elements taken from the XC90 include the tail lights that extend towards the roof. The roofline itself is much lower here, lending a sportier persona.
Volvo’s Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) should be used to underpin a brand new XC60 as well. The platform is currently used on its bigger brother, the XC90, S90 and the upcoming V90 as well. Powertrain options could include the T6 and plug-in hybrid Twin Engine T8.
The Twin Engine T8 consists of a 2.0 litre four-cylinder super- and turbocharged Drive-E petrol engine and an electric motor. Together, the system output registers 407 hp and 640 Nm. The possibility of a plug-in hybrid XC60 is high considering the concept Volvo unveiled way back in 2012.

Lose the rear doors and pillars and it becomes a 1800ES Outback.
Not bad. Volvo said design of 60-series will differ than 90-series, giving better differentiation.
XC90 is too humongous and clumsy. XC60 would be just nice in size, with the same modern look.
