Volvo’s EX90 a new leader in safety
A claimed range of 614km, a 0-100km/h time of 4.9 seconds, and seven luxuriously spacious seats. This is what the safest Volvo to date is set to offer the Southern-African market. Heading to the African continent as the first of five new models in 2025, the flagship EX90 is set to redefine the local public mentality around electric vehicles.
With Volvo’s full-steam march towards electrification, we were faced with quite a bit of good news and bad news during our test of this XC40 Recharge…
Recently we were privileged to test the new fully-electric Volvo EX30. I was so excited about this new model, that I decided to fly up to Jo-burg for the soft launch. Without any specs on paper the main surprise was the starting price of just R775 900 for the EX30 Core model.
Here to save the planet (or your wallet) the Volvo C40 promises to be one of the cheapest entries into full EV motoring… for now.
Volvo is een van die vervaardigers wat beoog om binnekort heeltemal oor te skuif na elektriese voertuie, en aan die begin van die jaar het die Sweedse vervaardiger die motor-wêreld verstom met die bekendstelling van hul nuwe kompakte SUV, die EX30. Hierdie voertuig is revolusionêr, siende dat dit die eerste elektriese voertuig (EV) SUV sal wees wat teen minder as R1 miljoen verkoop sal word.

Volvo’s XC60 was crowned World Car of the Year in 2018 and, still today, for me it’s one of the most complete cars on the road. Volvo has perfected the automobile with its XC60, and let me explain why.
When the Volvo XC40 was first released, many car makers and enthusiasts praised its uniquely beautiful shape, which defined equilibrium at every corner; inside out. It is still very much the case, today.
Volvo EX30 turns automotive market onto its head
Volvo has already made their plans clear, regarding Electric Vehicles, with the Swedish manufacturer set to produce only EVs from 2030. Shortly after the global launch, Volvo has now brought the brand new EX30 to Southern Africa. This vehicle promises not only to turn heads, but also the general perception around EVs as it offers a cost-effective, practical, and sporty offering. This might just be the perfect car.
Volvo se EX30 ’n revolusionêre nuwe voertuig: Is dit te goed om waar te wees?
Volvo is attempting to extend the fairly dated XC90 range by adding new engines which are even more friendly towards the environment,… or is that just me. Well that is my take on it. I might be wrong.
