So volvo decide to make a minivan which will arrive on the market on the next years.
Called PV50 the new car may profit from Volvo's great position on the market, and find its own niche.
Volvo is known for being a strong, safe and family-friendly marque, qualities that suit the minivan target buyer perfectly.
Volvo also has an premium placement in the marke, and has the brand perception and the platform availability to move compact and full-sized minivans into the premium segment.
Already there are several minivans developed for the P1 platform, that is shared with the S40, V50 and C30.So adding a Pv50 platform would not be difficult at all.
The new minivan should use Volvo's Haldex all-wheel drive system and more powerful engines like its T-5, to slot above Mazda5. Volvo's subtile but handsome design language with strong shoulders and muscular looks would work well with a minivan.
