Volvo’s fantastic four

Volvo’s fantastic four

Volvo is world-renowned for producing some of the safest cars on the road, making them a reassuring choice of family car. The range is full of excellent vehicles, each possessing that distinctive modern aesthetic and zen-like interior. Within its lineup is a trio of cars that should be on your shortlist with each providing a slightly different twist on the family SUV.

Volvo EX30

Volvo’s latest model might be the smallest car in the range, but the EX30 is mighty when it comes to modern design and impressive tech. It proudly wears Volvo’s new design direction featuring sculptural bodywork and a modern interpretation of the Swedish marque’s traditional grille. It’s equally space-age inside with key controls taken care of by a large portrait touchscreen display, meaning that the cabin is clutter-free.

The Volvo EX30 comes in three flavours with the 272hp model opening the batting with a range of up to 213 miles. An extended range variant can complete just shy of 300 miles on a single charge, while a 428hp twin-motor all-wheel drive EX30 can cover 279 miles. All EX30s can charge 10-80% in just 26 minutes thanks to 175kW rapid charging.

Volvo XC40

Arguably one of the most attractive compact SUVs on the road, the fashion-conscious XC40 is just the right proportions for a young family, while still being able to fit into a tight parking space. Its highly refined cabin has good levels of tech and high-quality materials adding a sense of occasion.

The XC40 is available as a plug-in hybrid with an electric range of 24 miles and a trio of choices when it comes to overall power. Additionally, those looking to go all-electric can choose between rear or grip-boosting all-wheel drive with an EV range of up to 332 miles.

Volvo C40

The Volvo C40 is an all-electric SUV with coupe styling, a dramatic roofline and sporty stance which makes it a head-turner while also retaining many of the practicalities of traditional SUVs. Enjoy its commanding high-seating position while driving with zero emissions up to 337 miles. You also get the choice of rear or all-wheel drive, meaning that even when the weather becomes challenging, the C40 can maximise traction to get you home.

For those looking for an electric SUV with some individuality, look no further.

Volvo XC60

Need a larger SUV for the family? The Volvo XC60 retains all of the style and premium character of its siblings, but offers more space for rapidly growing children and even the family dog. A fantastic allrounder, this comfortable SUV is great for commuting thanks to good refinement and supportive seats perfect for long stints behind the wheel.

Available exclusively as a plug-in hybrid, drivers have the choice of two power outputs – 350bhp and 455bhp. No matter your need for speed, both offer over 50 miles of pure electric range.
