Volvo Buying Guide

Volvo used cars

Volvo is known for producing safe and reliable vehicles that are also typically well-equipped and comfortable even on longer journeys. 

This makes them a good choice for families and those who value safety and comfort. 

History of Volvo

Volvo is a Swedish car manufacturer that was bought by China's Geely in 2010 to help with its overseas expansion into Europe. 

The brand we know and love is known as Volvo Cars, to separate it from its other branch that makes trucks, buses and construction equipment. 

Volvo also owns a chunk of the electric car brand Polestar and a decent chunk of Lynk & Co, a Chinese-Swedish car brand. 

Standout Volvo features

 As far as technology goes, Volvos are wildly impressive, with features such as a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, sat-nav and a Wi-Fi hotspot.  

It doesn’t stop there, because you also get some more premium optional extras such as heated seats, air-con and a premium sound system. Volvo also offers a variety of other comfort features, such as a panoramic sunroof, massage seats and a heads-up display.  

The real cherry on top is Volvo’s attention to detail regarding safety. Its features include airbags, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), traction control, electronic stability control (ESC), pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning.  

This is just the tip of the iceberg that is Volvo’s commitment to building safe road cars. 

The same goes for reliability, which is an area Volvo has always excelled in. There’s a reason even much older models are referred to as ‘tanks for the road’.   

Driving a Volvo

Running costs of a used Volvo car will vary depending on the model and engine that you choose, but overall, they're very reasonable. It will cost more if you’re in one of its SUV models but thanks to some very fuel-efficient engines, costs will be kept low.   

Volvo cars are a good choice for people who value safety, reliability and comfort. They’re also a great choice for families as they offer a variety of practical features, such as spacious interiors and plenty of storage space. 

Popular used Volvo cars

There’s a huge range of used Volvo cars for sale, with bodystyles for everyone. 

The most popular are the XC60 and XC90 hybrid SUVs, V90 and V60 estate cars and their S90 and S60 saloon counterparts. 

If you want a fully electric car then there’s the C40 Recharge, EX90 SUV, XC40 and EX30 small SUV. 

Should I buy a used Volvo?

What is Volvo's relationship to Polestar?

Volvo and Polestar have a close relationship as Polestar started as Volvo's performance division. However, it has since evolved into an independent electric vehicle brand under the Volvo Car Group. The two brands share technology and expertise, reflecting a strong partnership in the automotive industry.

How has Volvo prioritised safety over the years?

Volvo has always prioritised safety by adding innovative features and advanced safety tech in its vehicles. From being the first company to introduce seat belts in 1959 to implementing the best driver-assistance systems, Volvo has remained committed to protecting drivers, passengers and pedestrians. At the time of writing, no one has ever died in an XC90, which is something Volvo is very proud of, and this is down to its immense safety features.

What luxury features come standard on Volvo models?

Volvos are known for luxury features. If you're not driving a Range Rover then you're probably in an XC90. These features include advanced safety systems such as self-driving, plush leather seats, a high-quality infotainment system with a touchscreen display, a panoramic sunroof and a minimalist interior that reflects its Swedish heritage.

What electric vehicle models does Volvo offer?

Volvo currently offers four different all-electric models: the C40 Recharge, EX90, XC40 Recharge and EX30. It's worth bearing in mind that more models are coming as Volvo moves to an all-electric future, with help from its Polestar arm.

How has Volvo integrated sustainability into its operations?

Volvo is at the forefront of sustainability by prioritising eco-friendly manufacturing processes, introducing electric vehicles, and setting ambitious climate goals. Through renewable energy usage and waste reduction initiatives, Volvo demonstrates its commitment to a greener future. This integration of sustainability strengthens the brand, attracts eco-conscious consumers and contributes positively to the environment.
