The Volvo Concept Estate is something of a designers orgasm. From the way it looks, It’s a modern update to the 1970’s 1800ES Shooting Break. This may be the case, but this concept is a whole lot more. The Concept Estate is a part of 3 concept Volvo’s already released that showcase the new design direction Volvo will be going with, as seen with the Volvo XC90 which is set to debut this year. The exterior updates include a new floating grille, low-slung glass roof and T-shaped headlamps. the interior, though, is amazing. Expect to see all the dash buttons replaced by an intuitive touch screen… or so they say. The interior is designed to be bright and cozy. A sort of ode to the Swedish living room. Something to look forward to? I think so. 35
