5. Volvo XC40
After the success of full-size XC90 and mid-size XC60, Volvo has prepared a compact-sized SUV with the same features and design cues as its bigger brothers. Most people know the SUV as a class is dominant these days. Volvo wants to be a part of the wave of compact, but spacious SUVs with premium equipment and an upscale look and feel.
Competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3 are already established on the market and Volvo wants its share of the action with the XC40. They plan to start selling the car during the first half of 2018. You can expect it to come with several engines, all turbocharged with a possible hybrid option. They plan to issue a performance version later in the year, which they are calling the R model. Knowing new Volvo products, you can expect better driving and more refined models than their competitors.
