Volvo C30 BEV electric car (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 24 September 2009 11:20

We've just driven Volvo's first electric car – the C30 BEV. It's a prototype for a battery C30, and shows what you can expect on sale by 2014. Volvo calls it a rolling laboratory but for an early mule, it's impressively well finished. All four seats are present and you climb in to face a very normal looking C30. That ...

Volvo S80 D5 (2009) new CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 14 August 2009 09:00

Chances are the Volvo S80 won’t be on your exec saloon wishlist, but, with a light re-style, sharper chassis and punchier engine, the Swedes have transformed it into a proper contender. Okay, but it's a Volvo S80 so I’m waiting for the but… No but, the S80 is the sleeper of the segment, a comfortable companion with – in the D5 SE Lux Premium ...

Since it introduced the PV445 in 1953, Volvo has utterly dominated the premium estate market in the UK, seeing off Audi, BMW and Mercedes with a car brought ...

Volvo V70 D5 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 C70 T5 SE Lux (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Angus Fitton, 24 July 2006 04:24

Ah, a convertible. One for the hairdressers or a car that's hair-raising to drive? The jelly-like first generation C70 convertible was a Nicky Clarke special: it looked good and had a decent stereo but wobbled like a dinghy in a typhoon. The new C70 is a very different beast to its predecessor, which was sold as both a fixed-head coupe ...
