This model comes with fully leather seats, heated front seats, AC, built-in sat nav, premium sound system, bluetooth connectivity, and various other connectivity options. On top of this, it has great handling and performance and is a really comfortable drive, with very practical dimensions - making it versatile and easy to manoeuvre.
Top driving features include:
- All Wheel Drive and Power: On-demand all wheel drive system. D5 Twin Engine offers significant power, combining diesel performance with electric torque for better traction.
- The Hybrid Edge: With a 30-mile pure electric range, short commutes can be done entirely fuel-free.
- Incredible Efficiency: This car has achieved an average of 102 MPG.
- Total Versatility: When the battery runs low, the powerful D5 diesel engine takes over, making long-distance trips effortless and economical without "range anxiety."
Unrivalled Running Costs:
- Ultra-Low Tax: Registered in a bracket that costs just 20 per year (compared to 195+ for newer models).
- City Ready: Fully ULEZ compliant and perfect for London driving.
Major Maintenance & New Hardware:
While many hybrids of this age face uncertainty, this car offers unique peace of mind. It has recently undergone a major repair at a Volvo Main Dealership at a cost of 7.4k, meaning key hybrid components - the "Achilles' heels" of plug-in hybrids - are now brand new and under warranty for a few more years, a derisking factor for any buyer (reflected in the price).
Repairs were:
-New Inverter Generation Module (IGM): The "brain" managing power between the engine and motor has been replaced.
- New AC Unit: Replaced during diagnostics, ensuring the climate system is fresh and efficient.
This significant investment ensures the car is mechanically revitalised for years to come.
History & Condition:
- Ownership: Just 2 owners. Most miles were covered by a fleet owner with annual Volvo main dealer servicing.
- Condition: The car is in great shape, clean, smoke-free, and pet-free. A front side panel was replaced years ago after a car bumped into it and is now like new
