Its sleek design is complemented by flush door handles and the EV rides on 22-inch alloy wheels. At the back, it sports C-shaped LED taillights to complete the look. Volvo prioritises sustainability by incorporating 15 per cent recycled steel, 25 per cent recycled aluminum, and a substantial amount of recycled plastics and bio-based materials (48kg) throughout the car. Inside this seven-seater’s cabin, the focus is clearly on technology and comfort. There’s a large, vertically oriented 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system that takes centre stage. It’s powered by Google OS and 5G connectivity comes as standard. The latter allows for convenient over-the-air software updates.
