Motor City Classics has announced that they will release a 1:18 scale model of the 2016 Volvo V60 later this year. Motor city Classics will propose two colours: crystal white pearl and power blue. These models will be made out of diecast in combination with a detailed plastic interior. Each model will come with four opening doors, opening hood and trunk. Estimated release date is August-September 2016. I don't know yet the actual official sale price. Other Volvo models by Motor City Classics are offered between 85 € and up to 150 € on the web.

Volvo's merchandising department offers the all-new Volvo XC90 now also on their website as 1:18 model. The large scale model of Volvo's big SUV has so far only been available at some Chinese resellers on the net. So it seems to have paid off for those who had more patience and who did not order this scale model when it was released for the first time last year. Volvo offers the smaller version of their XC90 so far only in black in combination with a two-tone beige/brown interior. The diecast model features four opening passenger doors and hood. The scale model is also very detailed. Just have a look at the various stickers in the engine bay. You can get your copy for €138.70 incl tax under item number 2310041-100-000.

The new generation of the Volvo XC90 is without a doubt an important part of Volvo's actual production share. It seems that the XC90 plays an nearly important part as scale model. Norev started last year with the release of the official merchandising model in 1:43. Welly recently followed by presenting the first photos of their 1:60 and 1:38 toy versions of the XC90. And as I mentioned back in June GTA - one of Welly's own labels - will release later this year an 1:18 counterpart of the all-new XC90. And now it's the turn of Motor City Classics to announce another 1:18 scale model version of the XC90. Motor City Classics was so far rather well know for offering mainly 1:18 scale models of classic US cars: Ford Model A, Lincoln KB, Chrysler Town & Country convertible, Ford Woody Station Wagon, Chevrolet Woody Station Wagon, Studebaker Golden Hawk, Airstream trailer, ... Motor City Classcis has announced that they will offer the 2016 model of the XC90 in two different colors:
As stated on several websites both versions may be available as early as next November. So you might get/find your copy under the tree at the end of the year. The model offered by Motor City Classics is made of diecast. I ignore however which manufacturer will produce these models. A well informed source told me that the models by Motor City Classics and by GTA/Welly will not be made by the same manufacturing company. We will have to wait before being able to compare whose model is the most accurate. Motor City Classics wins in my opinion when it comes to paint schemes. They will provide us with the two attractive colors which are onyx black metallic and luminous sand metallic whereas GTA/Welly will offer their model in white or blue.
The Chinese company CSM is not only offering a 1:18 scale model of the Volvo S60L. A model of the 2015 version of the Volvo X60 T6 is also in CSM's product spectrum. They offer the actual XC60 in two different colors :

More detailed and close up photos can be found here: BoS-Models which is a label of the big German company modelcarworld.de has released the model of a Volvo PV445 Duett. What makes this rather special is the fact that it is a resin model in 1:18. Volvo's Duett has so far been popular among scale model manufacturers who offered most versions in 1:43 and 1:87 (H0). But any Duett in larger scales was until now just offered in tiny numbers by small producers who hand made them and offered them in rather confidential channels. BoS-Models has chosen to reproduce model year 1956. This resin model comes in the well known and attractive paint scheme blue over light gray over blue. The bi colored interior consists of white and red seats. I guess more color versions will be released in the future. This first release can be purchased under item number 193756 for 99.95 € plus shipping. The above photos show the model as it has been presented on this years Toy Fair in Nürnberg.
BoS-Models has released two 1:18 scale Volvo's prior to this one. The first was the Volvo 240 estate and the second the Volvo P1900 Sports. All three models are produced in China but I can't tell you by which manufacturer. The all-new Volvo XC90 will be offered later this year as a 1:18 scale model by Welly. It will be available under Welly's label GTA. Welly offers more detailed scale models under that name. The price tag will probably turn around the 80-90 € (90-100 $) range. The first release of Volvo's actual XC90 will be painted blue. The item number will be gta11009b. The model will most probably be ready for this autumn. Welly showed earlier this year at the Toy Fair in Nürnberg that they will offer the XC90 also in two smaller scales: 1:36
1:64
A precise release date has not yet been communicated for either of these three models. The above photos show the actual XC90 and not a model!
