Benefits of this move includes reduced tailpipe emissions, lower fuel consumption savings and stronger on-road performance according to the company. This means every Volvo sold new in SA will now feature some form of electrification. “With local demand for electrified vehicles growing steadily, this move — along with the earlier introduction of the P6 and P8 Recharge derivatives at the top of the XC40 range — brings us neatly in line with Volvo’s global ambition of transforming into a fully electric car company by 2030,” says Greg Maruszewski, MD at Volvo Car SA.
The option of a black roof, meanwhile, is now exclusive to fully electric derivatives. All variants in the XC40 range — along with those in the flagship XC90 line-up — also upgrade to Volvo’s now range-wide Android-powered infotainment system, complete with built-in Google apps and services.
