Which used Volvo car is right for me?

The smallest car in the Volvo range is the XC40, an appealing crossover with space, quality and comfort for all passengers. Volvo has made much of its move to electrification and there are PHEVs across the range but if you want a pure EV there's the Volvo XC40 Recharge and Volvo C40 Recharge

The S60 and V60 models are a mid-sized saloon and estate respectively that bring a high level of driving performance and practicality, while a similar saloon and estate pairing comes in the shape of the S90 and V90 at an executive level. Volvo’s SUV range is completed by the medium-sized XC60 and the large XC90, which are versatile and desirable as well as offering the option of hybrid power.

Tell me something I don’t know about Volvo

Volvo’s original parent company SKF is a bearing and seal manufacturing company. From its beginnings in 1927 Volvo made safety a key part of its vehicle designs and is credited with bringing features like laminated glass, the three-point seatbelt and dedicated child seats to the marketplace.

What used Volvo models are for sale on heycar?

You're spoilt for choice with every type of modern Volvos listed for sale, including:

Volvo Selekt is the official name for Volvo's approved used scheme – second-hand cars that come with, among other things, a factory-backed warranty.

To answer that question it's best to ask yourself: what do I need from my car? The small XC40, mid-size XC60 and large XC90 are all SUVs that have lots of interior space for their size and, like all Volvos, are very safe. If you prefer a low-slung car, you can choose from the likes of the mid-size S60 or large S90 saloons. They are also available as estate cars called the V60 and V90. All the cars mentioned here are available as plug-in hybrids that could slash your running costs if you have a short commute and somewhere to charge the car. 

Volvo's have great seats and quite comfortable interiors that feel posh – they're nice to drive anywhere but feel particularly at home on the motorway. What they lack is the driver enjoyment you get from posh saloons built by the likes of BMW.
