If you can trust us with a new car, you can also trust us with a used one. Our used cars look and perform like the new Volvo. And unlike any other used vehicle, our used Volvo cars are what we call Volvo Selekt, a category prioritising quality over everything.

Volvo Selekt warranty and guarantee

Our Volvo Selekt Cars are never older than five years old and have less than 100,000 km on them.

We pick only the best cars and improve them through Volvo-approved inspections of the most recent software updates. All CMH Volvo cars Pretoria Selekt vehicles have a full-service history carried out at Volvo-approved service centres.

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.

Our deals also include a guarantee of 14 days or 15000km, an extended warranty for 2 years and a DEKRA Report.
When you purchase a Volvo Selekt at CMH Volvo cars Pretoria, you get more than just a great used car. You are also receiving our commitment to ensuring your tranquillity. We buy only the best-used Volvos and improve them with our signature quality and safety.

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.

We at CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga are eagerly awaiting the new price list for this line-up. We will update the public and existing customers as soon as we have it.

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

Review by Rokkit

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.

VOLVO FOR FEMALE INCLUSIVITY – By CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga

Review by Rokkit

As we enter August, international women’s month, let’s spotlight Volvo’s influential female minds. The Volvo Group has been working systematically to improve gender balance and inclusion for over a decade. As a company, we are fortunate to have some strong female leaders within our organization. They are not only professionals, but also mothers, sisters, aunts, and individuals with exceptional minds.

It was in June 2002 that Volvo made headlines. The idea of Camilla Palmertz and a small team of colleagues was presented to Hans-Olov Olsson, the president and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation. Your concept car is targeted at the professional female, made by women for women. According to Camilla Palmertz, one of the two project managers, the concept car is for everyone; women have merely been included. As she said, “if you meet a woman’s expectations, you exceed a man’s”. By the most prestigious magazine in the automotive industry, Automotive News Europe, all nine women involved in this initiative were awarded women of the year 2005.

Women form an increasingly important client base for CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga and the group. Volvo has a long tradition of studying what women want in cars. A women’s reference group was formed at Volvo in the 1980s. This group called on female staff members to test and assess new models at a very early stage of their development. At Volvo Cars Umhlanga we encourage our female staff to offer suggestions, and to speak up when they have ideas; after all, you never know who the next genius among us may be.

During the development of the XC90, the company convened a female focus group to help shape the Volvo SUV’s features and functions. Volvo is always at the forefront of gender equality, and they are always associated with positive news and views about females in the industry.

In 2021 the Volvo Group signed up to be a part of the “Women in Leadership Positions” report published by the European Round Table for Industry (ERT). This document aims to demonstrate a growing corporate culture at a wide range of European multinationals, promoting inclusion and gender equality by enhancing women’s career advancement to leadership positions. So, let’s partner up today, come in and do a deal! Gender equality starts with you.

Petrol price on the rise again, but fear not fellow South Africans because the XC40 P6 Recharge has been confirmed for the South African Market

Review by Rokkit

29th
2022-06

We know what you are thinking, yes, we already have an XC40 P8 recharge in South Africa, but Volvo is extending their electric line-up with the introduction of the XC40 P6 recharge and we at CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga wanted to be the first to let you know.

The P6 Recharge features a single electric motor driving the front wheels whereas the P8 makes use of twin electric motors driving the front and rear axles. The P6 front-wheel-drive variant delivers the power of 170kW and 330Nm torque, which offers lively performance and a 0-100km sprint of 7.4 seconds.

Whether plugging in at home or at the ever-expanding network of public charging points, the standard 11-kW onboard charger fitted to the XC40 P6 provides competitive charging capabilities for the 69kWh lithium-ion battery, which provides a useable range of 423 km.

The pricing for this vehicle has not yet officially been released, but it will offer a more affordable entry into Volvo’s EV stable of vehicles than the current R1260000 price tag of the XC40 P8. This does not mean that buyers can expect anything less than a full house of Volvo’s comfort and convenience features and their famed and innovative safety features to be included in the price. CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga will announce the arrival of the vehicle on their showroom floor the moment one becomes available to us. We are as eager as you are for this arrival.

This compact SUV, designed with a purpose for our planet, serves more than sleek looks and is in its element in the city or in the country. Explore your world in the eco-friendly Volvo XC40 P6 with zero tailpipe emissions and reap the benefits of massive fuel savings! CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga ensures you get all the information you need on the vehicles we have to offer.

THE VOLVO XC90 IS THE MOST STYLISH SUV YOU CAN BUY TODAY – CMH Volvo Cars Bryanston

Review by Rokkit

28th
2022-06

The Volvo XC90 was designed for a big and luxurious family with a three-row SUV spacious interior and style to spare. It is the biggest vehicle from the XC range that comes with a seven-seater plus a large cargo space than its smaller XC60. It has one of three available powertrains called the T5, T6 and Recharge.

What makes it unique is the four-cylinder engine that comes with the vehicle while every other vehicle in its class has a six-cylinder engine. However, Volvo has intentionally applied enough technology to make it work. Engines found on the XC90 include a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the upgraded version of the turbocharged, the supercharged version and the recharge that uses the same engine as the T6 but has an additional electric motor and battery pack. This is a plug-in hybrid powertrain that lets you drive about 18 miles on all-electric power.

It costs less than other three-row SUVs yet offers a wide range of standard safety and convenience features such as adaptive headlights, a wireless charging pad and front parking sensors. At the same time, the XC90’s distinctive exterior and cabin designs make it stand out from the rest. Whether you’re looking to make a statement or simply save a few Rands, the pull of the XC90s is hard to resist.

Volvo cars have made a noticeable improvement to the suspension and brakes on the XC90s that has uplifted the hybrid’s standing significantly. However, the XC90 is the same as it’s always been, a fully competitive luxury car crossover SUV with an unexpectedly affordable price tag. (Forbes – Michael Harley Dec 23, 2021)

If you want to experience the future now, the Volvo XC90 is the perfect car to get you ready for an all-electric life on the road (Bloomberg, African Edition May 29, 2020)

How to charge your Volvo – By CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga

Review by Rokkit

2022-06

With the new electrifying line-up, now is the right time to talk about how to power your Volvo.

Volvo cars started testing out the wireless charging technology in the city of Gothenburg earlier this year. It didn’t stop there; they just introduced the XC60 T8 Recharge.

What’s the craze about the shift to hybrids you ask? Well, we all know the Volvo brand is all about environmental awareness and these vehicles are engineered so that they can reduce pollution on the planet. Luxury that cares. Volvo Recharge brings you technology, design and sustainable materials that elevate your drive. Whether you go for a Recharge pure electric or plug-in hybrid car, you can drive it without tailpipe emissions.

How to charge your car is a key part of electrified car ownership.

There are two types of electrified powertrains, both designed to accommodate a wide range of driving needs. Your two options are pure electric or plug-in – hybrid, whilst pure electric is the most powerful way to go, with less noise and no tailpipe emissions. The plug-in hybrid is less petrol and more purpose.

Where can I charge? Availability of charging plays a significant role in the daily experience of owning an electric car. At this point in time, since hybrids are new many are reliant on public charging.

When relying on short-term public charging – like at your gym or a mall – a plug-in hybrid may be a great option. Alternatively, a mild hybrid – which captures braking energy, but doesn’t need to be plugged in – could be an excellent fit.

How often you need to charge your vehicle is dependent on how frequently you use it and the range of the vehicle. Charging times also vary depending on the charging format and vehicle type. Charging times are also dependent on factors such as outdoor temperature, current battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and car condition.

So, if you care for the planet and want a sustainable future for you and your family, visit CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga today and test drive our electric vehicles.
