The Volvo XC60 gets updated for 2027 with new looks and a big increase in PHEV EV range, which also applies to the XC90 PHEV. Volvo may have planned to ditch ICE in any form, but in the real world that isn’t a remotely sensible route. So instead of dumping ICE completely, they’re delivering more […]

Polestar 4 SUV SPIED looking more Estate than SUV [Video]
The new Polestar 4 SUV is caught on video ahead of a September debut, looking more like an electric estate than an SUV. The rise and rise of car buyers’ love affair with SUVs still shows little sign of abating, despite a good estate car being a far better bet for most, with much better […]
Polestar 4 becomes the Polestar 4 COUPE because there’s now a new Polestar SUV
The Polestar 4 becomes the Polestar 4 Coupe as Polestar announces a more conventional Polestar 4 SUV will arrive in September.

Volvo turns the EX30 into a VAN with the new Volvo EX30 Cargo
The Volvo EX30 Cargo arrives as Volvo turns the EX30 into a small electric van with a choice of powertrains and two trim options.

Volvo announces a new entry-level EX30 with a 148bhp motor and 211-mile range, plus enhanced Black Edition models and updated tech. The Volvo EX30 has felt like a work in progress, with real-world use discovering plenty of glitches in Volvo’s smallest EV so, despite its appeal as a family runaround, it’s been tainted by the […]
Polestar 4 ‘Estate’, new Polestar 2, and Polestar 5 and 7 INCOMING
Polestar goes on a product offensive with a new Polestar 4 ‘Estate’, all-new Polestar 2 and the Polestar 5 and 7 on the way. Polestar hasn’t had the easiest of times since it became an independent (well, sort of) Volvo/Geely brand, with its sales expectations hampered by a general antipathy to EVs. But instead of […]
Volvo EX30 Black Edition adds to Volvo’s Black Edition offerings
Volvo rolls out yet another ‘Black Edition’ model – the EX30 Black Edition – with a raft of cosmetic tweaks. Car makers love a ‘Black Edition’ model to catch the eye of buyers wedded to a stealthy look, and Volvo, in particular, seems to be rolling out more and more Black Editions across its range […]
Volvo EX60 OFFICIALLY revealed – and it looks good enough to worry the BMW iX3
The new Volvo EX60 is officially revealed with three powertrain options, up to 671bhp and up to 503-mile range. The Volvo XC60 is Volvo’s best-selling car of all time, with some 2.7 million sold to date, so its electric equivalent – the new Volvo EX60 now officially revealed – needs to be special, especiallly with […]
