Latest News

Volvo has dropped its prices on its S40 and S80 saloons and its V50 estate. The price cuts are effective from today.

S40
Volvo has cut its prices by almost £2000 on some models of its upmarket small family car. The entry level 1.6 S is now £13,750 – a drop of £1980. Our favourite 1.8 S is now £610 cheaper at £15,995.

The price cuts mean the gap between S and SE is now £1500 and for this year SE models come with an upgraded stereo and powered driver's seat.

V50
The 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines from the saloon are now available in the V50 estate. That means an entry-level 1.6 S costs £15,995. The previous entry model, the 1.8 has dropped £610 in price, while our favourite V50, the 2.0D S is now £495 cheaper than before at £19,145.

S80
Volvo has ditched the entry-level S trim from it's executive car and cut up to £1500 off the rest of the range. The cheapest S80 is now the 2.5T SE at £24,995.
