The Volvo XC60 already has a locker room full of awards since its launch. Locally the XC60 D5 R-Design has won the Executive Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) category at the Cars.co.za Consumer Awards. In an interview done with Cars.co.za Volvo Cars South Africa Managing Director Greg Maruszewski had the following to say: “I am proud to say that both vehicles have performed exceptionally well when it comes to motoring competitions – not only here in South Africa but indeed all over the world. In 2018, the Volvo brand dominated the car industry’s major awards after the XC40 won the 2018 European Car of the Year and the XC60 was named 2018 World Car of the Year. This was the first time that Volvo had won either of these respected awards. Since then, numerous other awards have followed, the latest being the Cars.co.za Consumer Awards,”

Volvo C40 Recharge

Our first pure electric crossover has a streamlined silhouette and contrast roof that create a standout profile! The innovative pixel lights effortlessly consider other road users, and the back-lit ambience adds a contemporary vibe to the cabin.

Volvo C40 recharge

The C40 Recharge is the first Volvo with a 100 per cent leather-free interior, including steering wheel, gear shifter and upholstery. We believe this represents a new, more respectful interpretation of luxury and how materials can be used in car design. The C40 Recharge will also be available in 7 colours!

Seats

When can you order the full electric C40 Recharge?

Launch dates will be revealed soon.

How long can you drive before you need to recharge?

A fully charged battery gives you a projected range of up to 420 KM in mixed driving before you need to recharge. But your real-world range is also affected by your driving style and other circumstances, such as outdoor temperature, weather, wind, topography, and roads. Other factors that impact range include how much electricity you use for car functions such as heating and cooling of the car.

What warranty do Volvo Cars have on the battery?

The Volvo Cars Warranty for the battery is 8 years or 160,000km, whichever occurs first, provided that the car and battery are maintained and used under our recommendations.

Technology And Safety
Review by Rokkit

2020-10

Volvo Cars is a firm believer in Technology To Support Drivers and reduce distraction.

We might think that smartphones and touchscreens in cars are a distraction behind the wheel but, Volvo Cars safety experts disagree. They believe that distraction is a fact of life, and technology should be used to support people. When used correctly, modern technology can reduce distraction, improve road safety and assist drivers in being more focused.

Technology To Support Drivers

Vehicles from the 1940’s should be safer than today’s, seeing that they don’t contain a screen, phone connectivity or even a radio. But that is not how we operate in today’s society.Volvo Cars uses technology to minimize distraction and to build some of the safest cars on the road. Active safety systems with autobrake and steer assist are designed to assist drivers if they lose concentration or are distracted for a split second.

The new Volvo XC40 features an advanced voice control on Volvo Cars’ new Andriod powered infotainment system, allowing drivers to control the temperature, set a destination, play music and make a phone call while keeping their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road.

Technology To Support Drivers

Active safety systems such as City Safety, Run-off Road Mitigation and Oncoming Lane Mitigation with Steer Assist can act as an extra pair of eyes watching over you. If a driver is clearly distracted or intoxicated and does not respond to warning signals the car will intervene, for theirs and other road goers safety.

The Volvo pledge: By 2020, no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car or SUV. Interested in finding out more about our Technology To Support Drivers? Contact us

A look back at the Volvo V40 with CMH Volvo Cars Bryanston
Review by Rokkit

2020-09

The Volvo V40 looks to be Volvo’s last entry in the ever-growing hatchback war. Volvo announced earlier this year that the V40 would no longer be made at the end of 2019 making the 2020 models the last to be produced by the manufacturer. Let’s look back at the V40’s history, features and where you can find one now.

History

The Volvo V40 first appeared at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It was announced that there would be 2 variations of the V40, namely the V40, and the V40 Cross Country. Both vehicles received praise from vehicle reviewers and consumers alike for its pretty looks and high level of comfort.

Volvo V40 Interior - V40 end production

Features

The V40 came packed with the same safety features you would come to expect from a Volvo. City safety, leather upholstery, Hill-start assist, USB, AUX, Rain sensors and much more. The one features that did stand out at the time was city safety. City safety was an auto brake technology that assists in reducing or avoiding traffic accidents at speeds up to 30 km/h in vehicles using City Safety Generation I. Later models using City Safety Generation II can stop at 50 km/h.

Volvo V40 T3 Emblem - V40 end production

Where can I find a V40?

It goes without saying that V40’s are now hard to come by. Since Volvo stopped production in late 2019, stock is extremely scarce. Good thing then that CMH Volvo Cars Bryanston still has two 2019 V40 T3 Kinetics and two 2019 V40 D3 Inscriptions on offer.

The deal

2020 V40 T3 Kinetic: R465 800

  • No Deposit
  • Residual – 30%
  • 72 months – R 7296.40 per month
