Volvo is moving forward with plans to expand its electrified lineup, even as it delays its target to go fully electric by 2030. The automaker is expected to introduce the EX60 electric SUV, modeled after the popular XC60, and the ES90 electric sedan, based on the S90.

Recently, Volvo teased the ES90, sparking anticipation for its upcoming launch. Alongside this expansion, the brand has also shifted its design approach, adopting a more futuristic look. Amid these changes, a model not seen in Volvo’s lineup in recent years has also caught attention.

Volvo 240 Series Revived Through Renderings

A global virtual rendering designer has reimagined the iconic Volvo 240 series, resurrecting it as an electric vehicle. First introduced in 1974 and produced until 1993, the 240 series was known for its boxy, mid-sized design and was a flagship model for the brand. The rendering captures the spirit of the original, with its angular body shape evoking the solid and weighty feel of the classic 240 series.

The rendering, which includes both station wagon and sedan versions, reflects modern Volvo design elements while staying true to the boxy aesthetic of the past. The front design features Volvo’s signature T-shaped headlights, seamlessly integrating past and present.

Boxy Body Meets Aerodynamic Elements

The rendering carries over the rectangular headlamp box design from the original 240 series, maintaining its vintage appeal. Volvo’s iconic grille connects directly to the lights, with a closed grille—a common feature in electric vehicles—further reinforcing the futuristic look. Below, a horizontal air intake stretches across the bumper, connecting with vertical side air intakes for a unified design.

On the side, the vehicle showcases flat aerodynamic wheels and auto-flush door handles while continuing the boxy theme. A sharp character line runs from the front fender under the door handles, and a vertical air intake is positioned on the front fender. The sunken door design adds to the car’s angular profile.

Tail Lamps and Rear Design Stand Out

At the rear, the design seems inspired by Volvo’s EX90. In the wagon version, vertically arranged tail lamps flank the rear glass, with the rear bumper extending straight down for a solid, sturdy look. The lower rear section slopes slightly upward to avoid a heavy, blocky appearance.

In the sedan version, the tail lamps are shorter and arranged along the tailgate line in an angular shape. The rear design is kept flat, emphasizing the vehicle’s boxy appearance. With the growing popularity of cars featuring bold, linear designs—like the Tesla Cybertruck—some suggest this trend could drive future design directions in the industry.
