Volvo to unveil concept car

Business

Volvo will use next week's Geneva Motor Show to reveal the third in a series of concept cars – the Concept Estate. The concept offers hints at what a future XC-70 station wagon could look like.

The dynamic three-door sports wagon features a full glass roof.

The touch screen in the center console will be the main control panel for Volvo’s new in-car user experience.

In the rear cabin, Volvo playfully added a specially designed version of the Swedish "kubb" game. The specially designed game set is visible through the load floor in the back - directions are included.

Occupants in all four seats are embraced by orange seat belts, and the exclusive, woven wool carpets from the Swedish designer Kasthall have the same deep accent color - giving the car the feel of a swank Scandinavian living room.

The crystal gear shift from Orrefors/Kosta Boda also has an orange glow.

The traditional selection of buttons and controls have been replaced by one large tablet-like touch screen control panel in the center console.

The headliner and rear sides of the front seats features a checkered black and white wool textile.

The instrument panel also offers interior ambient light.

The rear of Concept Estate echoes the design of the Volvo 1800 ES from the early 1970s. This station wagon will debut at the Geneva Motor Show on March 4.
