Trying to keep up with the rate of change at Volvo is tricky. Their flow of new models is nothing short of staggering. The entire Volvo range will be completely renewed over the course of four years. We're currently at the halfway point.
And we’re not talking about models being given a nip and tuck or a bit of a facelift. We’re talking brand new, ground-up, redesigned models.
And they’re all available at Mill Volvo dealerships in Newcastle, Sunderland, Stockton and Knaresborough.
So, which Volvo suits your needs? Oh, and before we start, it’s worth pointing out that every Volvo comes with world-leading safety equipment that not only protects you and your passengers but also other road users and pedestrians.
If you fancy an estate, it all comes down to how much space you need. Most families will be chuffed to bits with the V40. It’s hugely popular and, with a price tag starting at £20,405, it’s no wonder it is Volvo’s top seller.
If you have a growing family or need to carry some extra kit, move up to the V60 which starts at £23,275, or if you really need do need to carry everything including the kitchen sink, you’ll love the V90 (£34,955). The V60 also has a Cross Country version which features a slightly raised suspension and underbody protection. It’s aimed at folk who sometimes cross a field or use a rutted track.
All but the V40 have a saloon stablemate. The S60 and S90 are extremely handsome and have a certain style which oozes class and quality. They’re also slightly quieter than the estates.
If you need the capability to take your Volvo off road, then look at Volvo’s Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV models). The XC90 is one of the world’s top 4x4s. It has massive presence and serious off-road ability whilst also retaining magnificent on-road manners. With a starting price of £47,350 you know that it will be loaded with equipment and goodies as standard. You also get seven seats.
If you need to, for example, tow a caravan or trailer, or perhaps need to haul a horse box across a muddy field or reverse a boat into a lake, but don’t need such a large vehicle as the XC90, then you will immediately realise that the Volvo XC60 is a family friend. It will perform any of those tasks whilst also carrying you and four passengers and all of their baggage.
If you fancy some sporty styling, head for the R-Design models. They look great.
If you want staggering economy, take a close look at the XC90 and V60 plug-in hybrid models. The V60 model for example will travel for over 30 miles purely on electric power.
The best idea is to call into one of the Mill Volvo dealerships and have a chat with one of the sales guys. They’ll match your needs to the ideal Volvo. They’ll also have the best Volvo deals available anywhere. Guaranteed.
