Volvo revealed their smallest SUV, the XC40 in September this year, and now the Swedish carmakers have started production of the India-bound XC40 SUV in Belgium. The Volvo XC40 will initially be produced at Volvo’s Belgian facility in the city of Ghent which is also responsible for the production of V40 hatchback, S60 sedan and the XC60 SUV. The Volvo XC40 is the first car from the Swedish marque to be based on the firm’s new Compact Modular Architecture platform, developed by Volvo in collaboration with its parent company Geely Auto. The new Volvo XC40 which will make its North American debut at next week’s LA Auto Show borrows several styling cues found on other new Volvo SUVs including the Swedish company’s trademark Thor’s Hammer LED headlights, vertically stacked tailights and beefy bumpers. The XC40 is expected to arrive in India in the second half of 2018.
