Judging by the registered names, it is safe to say that the Swedish manufacturer intends to expand its model range with two small cars that will be more compact than the V40 hatchback — its next generation will be presented in the spring at the Shanghai Auto Show.

In addition, Volvo intends to secure a number of additional indices (P5, P6, P8, P9 and P10) that will be used for future electric models. However, these designations will become relevant no earlier than 2019, when the brand's first electric vehicles begin to enter the market.
