ROCKLEIGH, N.J. (March 13, 2018) - Volvo Car USA is proud to announce that the new Volvo XC40 compact SUV will be seen in the new Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures movie event, Tomb Raider. The epic action-adventure hits cinemas March 16th – just ahead of the local launch of the Volvo XC40.
Tomb Raider stars Academy Award winner Alicia Vikander as the young and resolute Lara Croft, who, against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit, must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If Lara survives this perilous adventure, it could earn her the name tomb raider.
“We’re very excited for the Volvo XC40 to have its film debut with Tomb Raider,” said Bob Jacobs, Vice President, Marketing, Product and Brand Communication, Volvo Car USA. “One of the things we love about the film is Lara Croft’s character: bold, surprising and always ready for adventure, just like the Volvo XC40.”
The Volvo XC40 is focused on a new expression of Scandinavian design with style, innovative technologies and fun-to-drive characteristics. Whether on a refined city drive or an exhilarating adventure, this fully capable SUV is intuitive to use, a pleasure to drive and beautiful to behold.
The car featured in Tomb Raider is a UK specification Volvo XC40 White R-Design. For Tomb Raider fans looking to get behind the wheel of the car that is seen in the movie, Volvo have created a Lara Croft configuration of the Volvo XC40 online, albeit with the steering wheel on the other side of the car: https://www.volvocars.com/us/build/suv/xc40/r-design/t5-awd?s=9XGBR
