In order to maintain a sleek, urban design language, the XC-40 needed to be enhanced with a mild lift kit that was capable of exploring both on and off-road. Attempting to blend this style and capability to match driving conditions in areas like the Badlands of South Dakota, or the mountain trails of Tennessee, also required a set of all-terrain tires paired with rugged off-road rims that can handle a few rough edges and pressure changes. A roof rack was added to emphasize versatility, providing space for additional camping gear and accessories, while a tow package allowed for pairing to boats, flatbed haulers, or in this case a matching teardrop trailer fit for life off the grid.

Keeping as much of the original hardware in place as possible, the project then moved on to paint and graphics which held the key for tying the vehicle and trailer package together. Satin forest green served as a basecoat, complemented by a matte black angled wrap design, complete with charcoal grey topographic lines. These elements were intentionally chosen to emphasize the spirit of exploration and outdoor adventure. Bright orange accents and dusty earth tone lines added visual contrast and motion, creating a link between the SUV and trailer. As a final touch to further reinforce the complete package, a set of matching all-terrain tires and wheels were fitted to the trailer for cohesive aesthetic.

What became known as the Adevntyr XC-48R has since become a successful ideation of the perfect balance between modern luxury and rugged exploration. The design choices evoke a sense of freedom and adventure, with clean, eye-catching visuals that make it stand out both on the trail and in the city. The cohesive styling between the Volvo and the Escapod trailer ensures that both elements feel part of a single, well-thought-out package.

This rendering highlights the versatility of the XC-40, showing how it can easily transition between daily communities and weekend expeditions. The bold wrap design, unique color palette, and functional modifications make it a statement piece for thrill seekers and design enthusiasts alike.
