Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge AWD Ultra Dark (2024) Adventure Beast Review
Volvo's reputation may not always extend into the realm of overlanding, but that doesn't mean that its vehicles aren't capable of taking you on an adventure.
Volvo ES90 Single Motor Ultra (2026) Review
It is no secret that Volvo is aggressively advancing its new energy vehicle lineup, and the new ES90 is just one of the newcomers. But these don't feel mass-produced, much more bespoke. We tell you why.
Volvo XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid Ultra Dark (2026) Review
The Volvo XC90 has been the torchbearer for large luxury SUVs for over a decade. We spent a week with the top-tier T8 Ultra Dark plug-in hybrid to see if its blend of electrified power and Scandinavian minimalism still rules the premium segment.
Volvo ES90 (2026) Review
There's something to be said about breaking away from the status quo. It's easy to get it horribly wrong, but Volvo seems to have nailed the execution of the ES90. This full-electric flagship sedan forces you to rethink what you know about sedans.
Volvo EX30 Cross Country (2026) Review
It's a compact, soft-roading Swedish EV that goes like the clappers. Does it work, and who is it for? We had seven days to find out.
Volvo EX30 Cross Country (2025) Quick Review
The Volvo EX30 Cross Country is the adventure-ready flagship of the brand’s smallest, fastest electric car. The EX30's 315kW powertrain is enhanced with rugged styling, a heightened chassis, and unique cabin trims to create a compact electric crossover designed for life beyond the pavement. Positioned against the Mini Countryman and Mercedes-Benz EQA, the Cross Country is priced competitively, yet offers better performance and enhanced soft-roader. Is this enough to make it the best in segment?
Volvo EX90 (2025) road-trip Review
Extensive road-tripping in an EV might seem challenging, but the Volvo EX90 changes the game with its massive 111 kWh battery, seven-seat practicality, and seamless Google-powered infotainment. If you have substantial funds for a large luxury EV, is this the one to invest in?
Volvo EX90 Ultra Twin Performance (2025) - Review
The flagship electric Volvo SUV displays what is essentially the proposed future of the Swedish moniker. Is this the way Volvo should go, though? Let's see how it all fares in this review.
Volvo EX30 Plus Twin Motor Performance (2025) Review -
Electric Vehicles (EVs) may have become more commonplace and far less topical than in the years preceding, but some manufacturers are still determined that electrification is the way forward. The Volvo EX30 shows how Volvo is committed to an electrified lineup and has, in the process, created a rather enjoyable mobility solution.
Volvo XC60 T8 Recharge AWD Ultimate Black Edition (2024) Review
There's a limited run of stealthy-looking Volvo XC60s available locally, and we recently spent some time in one to see if these Black Edition models are worth considering!
EV Road-Trip Review: Cape Town to Bloemfontein in the electric Volvo EX30 (2024)
When the Volvo EX30 launched in SA, I was immediately enamoured by its sleek design and its impressive power figures, but how does a super-fast EV like the EX30 fare on a 1000 km + road trip to the centre of Mzansi via the N1 and back? Should you rather save this journey for your Isuzu D-MAX? We just had to undertake this trip to find out.
