Current
models
Today, the company uses a system of letters
denoting body style followed by the series
number. S stands for saloon or sedan, C
stands for coupé or convertible and V stands
for versatile as in estate car. XC stands
for cross country originally added to a more
rugged V70 model as the V70XC and indicates
all wheel drive paired with a raised
suspension to give it a mock SUV look. Volvo
would later change the name to the XC70 in
keeping with its car naming consistent with
the XC90. So a V50 is an estate ("V") that
is smaller than the V70.
Originally, Volvo was planning a different
naming scheme. S and C were to be the same,
but "F", standing for flexibility, was to be
used on station wagons. When Volvo
introduced the first generation S40 and V40
at Frankfurt in 1994, they were announced as
the S4 and F4. However, Audi complained that
it had inherent rights to the S4 name, since
it names its sporty vehicles "S", and the
yet-introduced sport version of the Audi A4
would have the S4 name. Volvo agreed to add
a second digit, so the vehicles became the
S40 and F40. However, that led to a
complaint from Ferrari, who used the Ferrari
F40 name on their legendary sports car. This
led to Volvo switching the "F" to "V", for
versatile.
