The Volvo Concept You is a concept car unveiled by Volvo at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show.[1]

The Concept You is an executive car with a four-door fastback saloon styling and is a development of the Volvo Concept Universe, which was revealed earlier in 2011.[2] The design builds upon Scandinavian Design.[3] Volvo designed the car around the driver and passengers, hence the name You. This includes, for example, the removal of all buttons and knobs, which were replaced by a touch screen to control the car's features.

The exterior design was inspired by classical Volvo models such as the PV544 and the Amazon.[4]
