Embattled Volvo slashes new car prices for a limited time

Volvo Car South Africa recently announced its intentions of closing 12 out of its 19 local dealerships as part of a “long-term brand strategic realignment”.

Now the Swedish carmaker is slashing 15% off selected new models until 31 May where buyers can save as much as R271 095.

This limited-time offer includes award-winning XC40, C40, and XC60 electric and hybrid SUVs. It includes flexible finance and added-value perks available exclusively through participating Volvo dealerships nationwide.

This initiative reflects the Swedish brand’s commitment to making premium, sustainable motoring more accessible. Engineered for everyday life, each model brings together thoughtful Scandinavian design, trusted safety features, and the refinement and performance expected from a Volvo.

No better time to buy a Volvo

“At Volvo, we believe in creating cars that enhance the way we live, with a focus on sustainability and safety,” commented Gresham Pillay, commercial manager at Volvo Car SA.

“This 15% discount reflects our commitment to delivering value alongside cutting-edge innovation. With our electric vehicle offers, there really isn’t a better time to buy a Volvo.”

In addition to the 15% discount on select new models, Volvo Car SA is making electric vehicle ownership even more accessible by introducing Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) offers across its electric range.

The EX30 is available from just R9 999 per month, with the GFV plan locking in a guaranteed trade-in value after 48 months. This flexible approach allows customers to upgrade, keep, or return the vehicle at the end of the term, making the switch to electric driving simpler.

Added goodies for EV buyers

As South Africa’s best-selling electric vehicle (EV) brand in 2024, Volvo understands the importance of long-term value and affordability. Particularly for first-time EV buyers.

The current GFV offers include the XC40 Recharge from R12 674 per month and the C40 Recharge from R17 158. Each offer is backed by added value, including a GridCars home charger and installation up to R7 500. Plus a R12 000 public charging voucher, valid for two years and complimentary in-car data from Vodacom for three years.

To qualify, vehicles must be purchased and delivered before the offer ends. Purchases can be made in cash or financed through Volvo Car Finance or any other financial institution. The offer applies only to qualifying model variants and excludes accessories or additional value-added products.
