Volvo S60 D5 (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 24 May 2010 12:42

We're just back from driving the new Volvo S60 – we've now had a chance to drive the most popular diesels, the D3 and D5, as well as the range-topping T6 petrol. It's an important car for Volvo, the new S60. Tired of being also-rans with the 850 and S60, the Swedes are now aiming for a much sportier marketplace. ...

Volvo S40 1.6 DRIVe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 12 December 2008 10:40

To be taken seriously as a car firm these days it seems you need a low carbon dioxide model in your range. Volvo hasn’t had one up until now so it’s addressing that failing with three new models: eco versions of the C30, S40 and V50. They’re called DRIVe (pronounced Drive E) and the Swedish firm has big plans for ...

Volvo S40 2.0D SE Powershift (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Colin Overland, 10 June 2008 09:26

Volvo has joined the twin-clutch brigade with the arrival of this, the S40 2.0D with the Powershift transmission option. Powershift is Ford and Volvo’s take on the DSG idea that came to the fore with the Audi TT and Golf GTI and spread quickly through the VW Group. Other companies are following suit as quickly as they can, with BMW's ...

Volvo V70 D5 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Peter Burgess, 25 June 2007 01:52

Another Volvo Estate. Didn’t the Swedes invent this sector of the market? Listen to Volvo and you’d believe that its estate car stands alongside Coca Cola and Levi jeans as one of the world’s leading brand icons. The estate car might not have been invented by Volvo, but it’s pretty hard to disassociate them. The reality is that Volvo brought ...

Volvo C30 D5 (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 20 November 2006 08:30

It’s been T5 this and T5 that, I’m pleased to see you’re finally going to tell me about the C30 that I can afford to fuel. We aim to please. Yes, the blown five-cylinder T5 sounds great and certainly delivers the goods (6.2sec 0-62mph) but it’s fond of a drink whatever Volvo’s official figures say. To be honest though, if ...

Volvo XC30 concept CAR (2006) review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 30 October 2006 12:48

What, another new small Volvo? Haven’t those Swedes only just revealed the ‘regular’ C30? Yes they have but don’t think they’re going to stick to the range they’ve launched the car with. This model was commissioned by Volvo North America so they can see what a crossover version might look like. They’ve called it the XC30 in tribute to the ...
