VOLVO
When you buy a Volvo, you get a heritage of safety and reliability. Volvos have been at the forefront of safety innovation for several decades, introducing many safety features that are now standard in most cars worldwide. They're also built to last, so you'll be able to get many years of driving out of your Volvo. These traits make Volvos worthwhile purchases brand-new, and even more so second-hand. Just make sure that you get your Volvo from a reputable used car dealer like BE FORWARD.
Why Buy a Used Volvos
Cost-Effectiveness
Volvo has innovated and uses many advanced safety technologies in their vehicles. Often, these features, which might come at additional costs in cars from other brands, are standard in Volvos. Furthermore, Volvos are famous for their long lifespan and reliability. When you get a used Volvo, you'll get a reliable vehicle that already offers outstanding value but at an even higher discount.
Luxury & Comfort
While safety and reliability might be what they're best known for, Volvos are also big on luxury and comfort. Their cars come with premium features and are made with high-quality materials, providing your passengers with a safe and comfortable haven to relax while you enjoy your drive.
Finding the Right Used Volvo for You
Popular Used Volvo Models
Volvos are great purchases, making them popular choices on the used car market. In particular, the XC90, V60, S60 sedan, the iconic 240 (1974 to 1993), and Volvo's current bestseller, the XC60 luxury SUV, are the top-used Volvos.
Choosing a Model Based on Lifestyle Needs
There's a Volvo that fits every kind of lifestyle. If you mainly drive in urban areas, you might want an agile car that's both maneuverable and fuel-efficient. The S60 is an affordable luxury sedan that looks great while offering decent fuel efficiency. It's capable of seating five, with 328 L of cargo space (in the 2023 models- not the most, but enough for most everyday needs). If that isn't enough space, the S90 is a more spacious sedan with greater interior room and 382 L. The S90 also comes with AWD for more challenging terrain.
For country roads, you'll want a vehicle with 4WD/AWD capabilities. Besides the S90, Volvo gives you a choice of one of their premium SUVs - the XC90, the XC60, and the XC40. The XC90 is their full-size luxury SUV that seats up to 7 and features 2427 L of cargo space. It doesn't lack in fuel efficiency either, besting many of its competitors. And if you ever need to, you'll be happy to know that the XC90 can tow. One rung down in size is the compact XC60 SUV, which is also Volvo's current best seller. It seats 5 with 1792 L of cargo space, making it ideal for those who need a moderate amount of space for passengers and cargo. Volvo's final SUV is the zippy XC40, which seats five and features 1634 L of cargo room. The stylish and well-equipped XC40 offers luxury at an entry-level price point.
Volvos are excellent for students and beginner drivers due to their outstanding safety features, reliable performance, and user-friendly designs. The compact models like the S60 sedan and XC40 SUV offer easier maneuverability for new drivers. Volvo's commitment to safety provides peace of mind, while its fuel-efficiency helps students save on operating costs.
Those with families can consider the options mentioned above. If yours comprises mainly small children and you foresee yourself needing more space for their things than for seating, you can opt for some options that offer generous cargo space, like the XC90 and XC40. On the other hand, the S90 provides good seating capacity if moving many adults is your primary concern. If you need large amounts of seating room and cargo space for a big family on the move, choose the XC90.
Engine Performance & Technology
Volvo has a long history of producing high-performing and reliable engines that are also fuel-efficient. Since 2013, Volvo has used their vehicles' Volvo Engine Architecture family of inline three- and inline four-cylinder engines. The engines, also known as "Drive E" engines, are equipped with continuously variable valve timing, "intelligent" heat management featuring an electric water pump, low-friction camshaft ball bearings, brake regeneration, and stop/start with an electric transmission oil pump to regulate pressure when the engine is off. In-house development and production of these Volvo engines ensures that such technologies are made and adapted to best suit the needs of Volvos.
Safety & Reliability
Volvo has been the innovator on the safety front for nearly a century, from introducing the three-point safety belt in 1959 to 2023 with its lidar technology. With a reputation built on safety and reliability, you can expect each Volvo to come with a wealth of safety features to protect you and your passengers. Besides all the safety features that should come as standard in modern vehicles, like seat belts with pre-tensioners, airbag system, electronic brakeforce distribution, and anti-lock braking system, newer Volvos can also feature their Safe Space suite of safety technologies that include Lidar, autonomous driving, driver understanding system, occupant sensing, collision avoidance, lane keep aid, run-off road mitigation, blind-spot information system and more.
Maintenance & Upkeep of Used Volvos
Being diligent with your Volvo's maintenance will get it to perform at its best for many years. This includes sending your Volvo for its regular scheduled maintenance and also performing basic tasks doable on your own, such as checking tire pressure and tire tread, checking that all lights are working, being vigilant about any dashboard lights turning on, and making sure all fluid levels are topped up.
Conclusion
Safe, reliable, stylish, and comfortable to boot, Volvos are attractive cars that you and your passengers will enjoy every drive in. Getting one used can shave off a large percentage of the brand-new price, but you'll want to make your purchase from a reputable used car dealer like BE FORWARD.
