It is a fantastic vehicle with good range, decent charging, impeccable safety, built-in Android interface and Google Maps, and older models sell for similar prices to the Ioniq 5 / ID4 etc. I test drove it and it is luxuirous, comfy, and just a great and beautiful car. I don’t even see it mentioned almost ever.
I’m guessing perhaps the range, but the 2024 RWD model has around 300mi and AWD 256mi of range. Older ones around 220mi. I’m considering it above all others I’ve driven because it has better ride height and viewing angles for me as I’m tall with a very long torso.
I’m just some dude, but imo, Volvo isn’t cool. Like, not even close to being cool. In my head, [this is what I see](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_200_Series#/media/File:1988-1991_Volvo_240_GL_station_wagon_(2011-06-15_01.jpg) when I think ‘Volvo’.
That being said, I also recently reserved an EX30. I never even thought Volvo could ever be a car I would even contemplate owning, but now I’ve ponied up money for one. I think they may be in a bit of a rebranding at the moment, and I’m pretty excited to see what else they come up with, but the initial hurdle of disliking the brand’s older style was … a lot.
You literally posted a link to one of the coolest old Volvos.
