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.

Should be manufactured in India

No value for money. Should be manufactured in India and should be priced around 50L not more than that. On road price, many good options are there. After investing around 75L people prefer brand value. Can go for xc60 around 70L on the road
