All-New Volvo EX30 SUV Coming to CMH Volvo Silver Lakes

The recently unveiled Volvo EX30 SUV is coming to South Africa and will be available at CMH Volvo Cars Silver Lakes.

The EX30 will arrive early in 2024, with the five-strong local range set to start at just R775 900, making it R300,000 cheaper than the brand’s previous entry-level EV – the XC40 P6 Recharge. Pre-orders opened at CMH Volvo Cars Silver Lakes on Thursday, 8 June 2023.

This full-EV model, positioned as the smallest SUV in Volvo’s line-up, offers a city- and budget-friendlier option for environmentally-conscious consumers – and those who want to save money by not having to fill up with fuel.

The design features a closed shield grille, digitally rendered Thor’s Hammer headlights, split taillights and a familiar dashboard layout that will appeal to a younger audience. The EX30 also boasts an ascending waistline, creating the illusion of a “floating roof”, and muscular wheel arches that add to its distinctive appearance.

Volvo-ex-30-interior — Volvo EX30 interior

Connectivity is possible thanks to state-of-the-art features, such as a 12.3-inch high-resolution central display (running the latest Android-powered infotainment system), a digital key, over-the-air update functionality and a first-of-its-kind audio-system soundbar.

The small SUV has a high seating position most Volvo drivers prefer and space for five adult occupants. Volvo says the new EX30 rides on the Swedish luxury firm’s purpose-built modular, sustainable electric architecture and measures 4.23 metres long, 1.83 metres wide and 1.55 metres tall, with a wheelbase of 2.65m.

That means the SUV is 192mm shorter from nose to tail than the XC40 and offers new collision-avoidance technology, the latest driver-understanding system, and various safety innovations.

2.3-inch high-resolution central display

Volvo says both single-motor and twin-motor derivatives of the EX30 will be available in South Africa. Meanwhile, battery choices will include high-voltage 51kWh and 69kWh units on three trim levels (Core, Plus and Ultra).

The single-motor option produces 200kW and 343Nm, when combined with a 51kWh battery, allowing the crossover to reach 100km/h in 5.7 seconds and drive for a maximum of 344km.

Alternatively, buyers can opt for an extended-range model with a larger 69kWh cell, which decreases the acceleration time by 0.4 seconds and increases the driving range to 480km.

The more powerful twin motor arrangement then gives the Volvo access to 315kW and 543Nm, letting it sprint to 100km/h in an absurd 3.6 seconds.

Load-shedding schedules could matter less for South Africans in future as Volvo plans to introduce bi-directional charging models(Volvo EX90) to allow you to charge your home and other electronic devices.

Our CMH Volvo cars Pretoria technicians perform a 125-point inspection on each vehicle and upgrade the software to the most recent technology. Retail price comes with Road Assistance and a factory warranty for at least a year, and unlimited kilometres included.

Since buying a brand-new vehicle isn’t always financially feasible, many people prefer to buy a used car.

Risks associated with purchasing a new car

Purchasing a used car comes with several benefits as well as risks. Buying cheap is not always the right move. Buyers must be aware of the risks associated with purchasing a used vehicle.

Mechanical issues, unseen damage, expired warranties, and difficulty locating replacement parts are all possible pitfalls of buying a used car, despite the protection guaranteed by the Consumer Protection Act (CPA).

Indeed, you have the right to return the vehicle if it does not meet these requirements within six months of purchase. However, note that the protection does not go beyond six months.

The CPA will also not provide legal protection if you were informed of any flaws when concluding the deal.

Hence, we advise buying at CMH Volvo cars Pretoria, a dealer with over ten years of excellent service that protects the CPA prescribed 6 months.

Following the unveiling of the Volvo XC40 luxury SUV in September 2017, Volvo Cars South Africa recently announced updates for its range of premium vehicles and the move to hybrid powertrains for the popular Volvo XC40 line-up.

The new models bring benefits such as reduced tailpipe emissions and fuel savings. Every new Volvo sold in South Africa will feature some pinch of electrification.

Volvo XC40 line-up — New updates for Volvo XC40.

The Volvo brand has always been about safety and sustainability. The new Volvo XC40 design does not deviate from the vision. With reduced tailpipe emissions, Volvo stuck to the assignment of protecting the environment.

The entire Volvo XC40 line-up, additionally, benefits from an exterior facelift, including new alloy wheel designs and fresh exterior paint colour choices, such as Fjord Blue and Sage Green. The option of a black roof is now exclusive to fully electric derivatives. All variants in the XC40 range upgrade to Volvo’s new range-wide google play store, Android compatibility and an infotainment system that keeps you connected to your digital life.

Sales Executives at CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga are particularly excited to see the new sage green colour variant. After all, we all agree that when you drive a Volvo – everyone turns back to get a second look!

Another exciting thing to expect from the new Volvo XC40 is a new trim-level structure, a shift away from Momentum, Inscription and R-Design to the latest specifications.

The Volvo V60 Recharge for the Extra Legroom – CMH Volvo Cars Bryanston

Review by Rokkit

30th
2022-08

Volvo cars are known for their substantial price tag. Still, if you look past that, one might realise that Volvo Cars has manufactured a highly well-rounded economical model to ever exist in the market- we are talking about the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid. This is the very first-ever production from the car manufacturer to pair a diesel engine with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, and we at CMH Volvo Cars Bryanston are super-excited and cannot wait to bring them to our customers.

Volvo’s plug-in hybrid model comes with a few compromises when it comes to driving dynamics, but the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid is just as good to drive as the standard car. Not only does it ride just as well, but it feels almost as agile – not bad considering the extra 300kgs it carries. But while it drives just as well as a standard car it’s not quite as practical as normal vehicles. The battery pack fitting underneath the boot has raised the level of the floor by 60mm and cut boot space from 470 litres to 310 litres.

Based on the plug-in hybrid’s performance, CMH Volvo Cars Bryanston believes the vehicle has unlimited potential from a growth perspective. Although it feels just as good to drive as a standard V60, it has substantial fuel economy benefits. You can find all the information you need about the model at CMH Volvo Cars Bryanston.

Keep a close look at CMH Volvo Cars Bryanston’s social media page for all the upcoming news on the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid to explore your world in the eco-friendly and fuel-efficient vehicle. Find us at 277 Main Rd, Bryanston Sandton or alternatively give us a call at 011 700 4700 (Luke Madden 14 May 2012).
