 Volvo's Cross Country family Yesterday Volvo has officially presented the newest generation of the Cross Country declination for their large breaks. I don't get it why you should buy an altered version of a large estate which features elegant lines to end up with a high standing car which seems to wear still some of the plastic body panels usually fitted to the pre-production cars running on public roads. Well my guess is Volvo's marketing department knows what they are doing.
A launch of a new Volvo model brings in his train a 1:43 scale counterpart. Official photos of the scale model have not yet been revealed. But Volvo's merchandising department has already released details of the first two versions. The first 1:43 scale model of the Volvo V90 Cross Country will be available in osmium gray metallic (714) and crystal white metallic (707). Each will be offered for €47.60 incl tax. You can order the official Volvo merchandising models @ collection.volvocars.com However I really don't get it why they offer the model in crystal white. Each of the light colors look pretty weird in combination with all the dark plastic body parts for the car. It just doesn't look right to me.

Norev will offer new colors for their 1:43 scale models of the Volvo V40, S90 and XC90. Each of the three models will be available in a new color. The Volvo V40 (2016) will be available in 'christal white metallic' (707), the S90 in 'osmium grey metallic' (714) and the XC90 in 'savile grey metallic' (492). Norev has released the V40 and S90 so far in two paint schemes for Volvo's official merchandising program. The newly announced colors will be available in Norev's regular model program. And the new paint scheme for the Volvo XC90 is already the sixth color. It seems to me that Volvo's new XC90 is also a high-selling model among scale model aficionados. You will have to wait until spring 2017 before these new releases will be available.
Volvo has offered a mussel blue Volvo S90 scale model to a couple Volvo employees. This Volvo S90 is the well known 1:43 diecast miniature made by Norev. Volvo choose this little gift to say thank you to the employees involved in the development and commercialization of Volvo's new V54X chassis. Volvo's new flagships - the S90 and V90 - are based on this chassis. The base holding the model is therefore labeled "V54X COMMERCIAL CORE TEAM - TACK!". Tack is Swedish and means "Thank you". Only around 25 models have been given away! They came packed in the standard window-box. Courtesy of Dolpff W.
Norev has supplied another new scale model to Volvo's own merchandising department. It is a 1:43 diecast model of the actual Volvo V40. The scale model is available in two different paint schemes. The first being denim blue metallic (723) and the second amazon blue (621). First of all these are not the same models released a couple years ago by Motorart. These Volvo V40 are made by Norev with a complete new mold. If you look closely you will see a couple differences. A major one being the panoramic glass roof on this new scale model. Volvo sells each model for €47.60 incl tax. You may find as well a copy at your local Volvo dealer. You can also order any of the official Volvo merchandising models @ collection.volvocars.com
Some people mentioned earlier on FB that they didn't like the color choice of this latest release. Well they might be true and twice blue may sound boring. But if you have a look at the available color options of the real Volvo V40 you will notice that most colors have already been offered on the rest of Volvo's scale models. I think it would be even more boring to have the same color for every single model of Volvo's actual product line. But colors are indeed always a subject. And I guess we could discuss it for hours.
Norev will anyway offer at least two new as well as different colors in their regular product line. Just wait a couple months and check here or your local re-seller with what Norev will come up. Norev has announced new colors for the Volvo V60 and Volvo XC60. A precise release date has not yet been communicated. This allows you to safe enough money for these 1:43 scale diecast models.

The 1:43 scale model of the all-new XC90 seems to be a good seller. Volvo's merchandising department is offering a new color for their luxury SUV. This is the third color for an official Volvo model. This hasn't happened for quite some time. It seems that they do abandon their company policy to offer each model only in two color versions. The latest version is offered in a light to medium grey metallic paint called "osmium grey". This 1:43 diecast model is made by Norev. It is available under Item number 2300597-150-000 for €47.60 inclusive tax. Previous colors offered by Volvo's merchandising department were "onyx black" and "luminous sand". Norev has recently released the XC90 in their regular product line. The first color is 'crystal white metallic' and the second one "twilight bronze". Both are already sold out at Norev. I'm however sure that a couple more colors will follow later this year.  You can order the official Volvo merchandising models @ collection.volvocars.com The French company Norev who has already supplied two 1:43 scale models of the all-new XC90 (2015) for Volvo's official merchandising program has recently released a white painted version in their regular model line-up. The new paint is officially called 'crystal white metallic'. White painted cars are really not my cup of tea but they have come once again quite popular over the last couple years. This model can be ordered under item number 870050. The retail price for this diecast model is somewhere between 30 and 35 €. Source & copyright: Norev
Volvo has chosen Norev to develop and produce 1:43 scale models of their latest car generation: the Volvo S90 and Volvo V90.Some of you may remember last years when Norev had an embarrassing leak since an employee took a couple models of the just finished Volvo S90. Problem was that Volvo had not yet revealed any photos of their upcoming and most luxurious model. The employee ignored that this specific car was still a top secret. You can read more about this leak on this previous post. Volvo offers each model in two different paint schemes. Volvo sells each of these 1:43 die cast models for €47.60 incl tax. Each model comes packed in a plain white window box. The Volvo logo is printed on each box.

The official retail price for this diecast model is very likely 32.95 €. I will publish further info's as soon as they will become available. Here are photos of the so far released colors for Volvo's official merchandising department: Norev has announced today in their newsletter that the two already announced Volvo Concept cars will be released in the coming weeks. These are the diecast versions and are nearly identical to the scale models made out of resin which Norev produced exclusively for Volvo’s merchandising department. The official retail price for these diecast models is 32.95 €. This is your chance to grab you one of these great models. Remember that the previously released resin versions do cost between 126 and 130 €.
