It is clear that Volvo wants to make cheaper cars by using economies of scale. And the Swedish carmaker will achieve that goal with its new front-wheel-drive chassis called SPA, which is short for Scalable Platform Architecture. The first vehicle to get the 'SPA treatment' will be the next generation XC90, slated to launch in 2014. The new SUV is tipped to be larger than the current model.
SPA is created to carry Volvo's new engine lineup, which consist of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. The next-gen engine will debut next year in existing models. Inevitably, the current five- and six-cylinder engines will be replaced.
Volvo has a few more things to mull about. One of which is the decision to have the XC60 or S60 go hybrid in 2014, or wait for the SPA-based models before taking the green plunge. They also want to build cars in North America and seeking a possible partnership with Fiat to build cheaper and smaller cars.
