I’m almost out of the 2nd Viking badge run. Get yours before they’re all gone!
First off, shifter cables needed for a 1998 V70. The owner is a senior citizen with cancer.
Volvo News / 2025 Models
For 2025 the fully electric XC40 Recharge is renamed EX40 to fit with the other fully electric Volvo models EX30 and EX90. The XC40 name remains for mild-hybrid variants of the model. The EX40 Twin Motor variant features an 82 kWh battery, up from 78 kWh. The charge rate for both the Single Motor and Twin Motor variants have been increased to 205kW DC from 200 kW.
EX90 models will be built at the Volvo Cars plant near Charleston, South Carolina and offered with a starting price of $79,995 (MSRP).
At the other end of the lineup is the Volvo EX30, which quickly became one of the best-selling electric vehicles in Europe after it was revealed in June 2023. Now U.S. customers can purchase the most requested model, the 422 hp EX30 Twin Motor Performance, in Plus or Ultra equipment levels for a starting price of $44,900 (MSRP). The single-motor EX30 is not yet offered in the US.
XC90: all are now hybrid gas/electric, as are all new Volvos. New on 2025.5 models: reconfigured cabin, improved sound insulation, premium materials, free-standing center display, contemporary user interface, improved chassis with new damper technology, starting at $58,450 (MSRP).
‘Recharge’ nomenclature has been eliminated from all plug-in hybrid models, which are now denoted simply by the T8 suffix indicating the level of power output.
The 2025 Volvo Cars price list has no fewer than 65 rows!
