The network got the first renderings hatchback Volvo V30. Recently we wrote about that in Sweden the spies saw a heavily camouflaged prototype Volvo, in size comparable with cars of class C. We then decided that this changer elderly V50 wagon, but with much littered the rear glass ('s senior "barn" V60 also looks more like a large hatchback). However, the British magazine Auto Express believe it was nothing like the five-door "brother" trendwerk C30. And, having carefully studied the design of all the latest novelties of the Scandinavian company, they decided to draw the hatch, at the same time sharing some details about its technical stuffing. In Auto Express, apparently, believe that the appearance of the machine will overlap with the appearance of the model V60. Rising to the stern line glazing, dynamic silhouette, predatory "look" split headlights, traditionally high set of graceful lamps - if this will be the serial version, it will be one of the most beautiful representatives of the segment. The main competitors of "Swede" Brits see the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf, BMW 1-Series and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz A-klasse and the Audi A3 Sportback. We are inclined to believe that the V30 will likely be a little cheaper representatives of the German premium threes and more expensive "people's car" and especially "American", so that the latter will automatically fall out of the list of direct opponents. Journalists from Albion think that instead of platform P1 novelty will be shortened "cart" Y20 (a modified version of the Ford EUCD) from the S60/V60. By the way, hatchback Golf-class will get a lot of e-helpers, looking for dead zones, signs, markings and pedestrians. It is expected that Volvo V30 will debut next spring at the motor show in Geneva.
