Volvo has confirmed its future small car offerings will be built on a unique-to-Volvo scalable platform dubbed the Compact Modular Achitecture (CMA), itself based on the larger Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) that underpins the XC90 and soon-to-be S90.

The first model to receive the CMA platform has yet to be announced, but Volvo has announced that the platform will make its production debut in 2017.

The current V40 hatch will still have some life in it by that point, but a revival of the S40 small sedan - a model that has been missing from the Volvo line-up since 2012 - could well be the foundation model for the CMA platform

The present-generation Volvo V40 small hatch (below) utilises the Ford Global C platform, a hangover from when Volvo was part of Ford's Premier Automotive Group.
