Most Helpful Review

Volvo is the best car company in the world

I have clocked more than 10k in less than 5 months, performance is phenomenal, and the vehicle is stable and provides absolute assurance of safety. Stability at high speed is really good. The range is also decent, I’m getting 400-430 kms for a full charge very easily, charging speed is good. The back seat space is not up to the mark but overall really good and suits my requirements.

The ownership experience is brilliant

We had a very good buying experience at the dealership. Driving is also very nice. First service would be due after two years. Seating is also very comfortable. You definitely feel the luxury factor in the car. The soft dashboard and the colour of the interiors are very nice. Boot space for a small family. The quality of the vehicle is as per our expectation.
