Sturdy, reliable, character-filled red Volvo V70 Cross Country (XC) needs a new home. All wheel drive (AWD), leather, cold a/c. The leather seats have been carefully maintained and are in great shape. Only 132,000 miles.

Volvos will run forever if they are maintained and this XC has been carefully serviced. We've invested over $2000 in preventive maintenance and service in the last month, including:

1) New ETM (electronic throttle body) with new upgraded magnetic brushless control (Xemodex) - the ETM is a known and expensive weakness in these cars, but the Xemodex unit is a permanent fix. 
2) New drive belt
3) New PCV system - Should be replaced every 100k miles or so.
4) New upper motor mount
5) New spark plugs and coils
6) Fresh oil change
7) Fresh transmission gearbox oil replacement (Redline)
8) Rear hatch clip upgrade - (tend to go bad and squeak and rattle; permanent fix)
9) New gas cover hinge (picture shows before fix) - common minor issue with Volvos

There are a few cosmetic imperfections to be aware of: the headliner is sagging a bit in the back ($200 fix), the tint on two windows is starting to bubble ($100 fix), and there are a few small dings on the doors and front hood, the rear left door auto lock works intermittently (still works), the moonroof doesn't currently retract (not sure why, probably a relay), and the plastic trim on the steering column is loose. 

This is a car for someone who values vehicles with character and personality; a car the stands apart from the herd of bland beige econoboxes. This is a car for someone who thinks the path matters as much as the destination.

KBB values: Excellent $5,388 / Very Good $5,088 / Good $4,963 / Fair $4,238

Volvo EX30 interior is minimalism with clever tricks and a sound bar

Thu, Jun 1 2023

Volvo's given us another piece of the battery-electric EX30 puzzle. Our first proper glimpse of the interior proves Volvo was not overstating its focus on minimalism in the EX30. We've gone years now accusing infotainment screen of looking like tablets bolted to the dashboard. The centrally placed screen in the EX30 doesn't resemble an iPad on an instrument panel, it looks like a genuine tablet laid on a shelf. We look forward to finding out whether it can be unlatched from the clip-like supports on the sides. The automaker says all information is presented through the 12.3-inch portrait screen, despite the small curved screen mounted to the steering column behind the wheel. Our guess is the small screen is a gear selection indicator, if it's not for tiny info bites like speed and navigation, akin to what's on the Volkswagen ID.4. The large screen offers a "Calm" setting limiting the display to vitals only, letting some welcome dark into the cabin. For the first time in a Volvo, wireless Apple CarPlay is part of the infotainment functionality. The instrument panel has as least one trick of its own, being a sound bar laid across the top, under the windshield — the same kind of sound bar you'd buy for an OLED television. The unit in the pic is from Harman Kardon; we're not sure if that's standard fit or if it's an upgraded unit that goes with the optional Harman Kardon audio that will be available. Volvo says the EX30 will be the first application of a sound bar in a production car, chosen in part because the bar's clustered speakers cut down on wiring and open up space elsewhere. That's right, the sound bar contains the only speakers in the cabin. The space in the doors where speakers normally go has been converted to storage. Speaking of which, the EX30 picks up a few tricks we saw first on the battery-electric Nissan Ariya. The Volvo's glovebox has slid sideways to the center of the IP, accessible to the driver without leaning over. The center console slides fore and aft, providing cupholders in easy reach or more space for notions. The power window controls are on the center console as well, we hope located on a segment that doesn't slide. Volvo one-ups the Ariya by placing protective walls around the console's storage area on the floor, so little items don't roll left and right.

Volvo to adopt NACS port, partners with Tesla for Supercharger access

Tue, Jun 27 2023

Volvo is the next automaker to announce that it’s signed an agreement with Tesla with will allow its current and future electric vehicles use of the Supercharger network. Plus, just like Ford and GM, Volvo says its new EVs from 2025 on will be equipped with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port instead of the Combined Charging System (CCS) port. This agreement makes Volvo the first European automaker to adopt TeslaÂ’s charge port and gain access to the 12,000-plus Superchargers across the U.S. Volvo says that owners of its EVs will be able to access Superchargers as early as the first half of 2024 with an adapter. For Volvo EVs built with the NACS port, Volvo says those vehicles will still be capable of charging on CCS chargers with an adapter provided by Volvo. Volvo didnÂ’t explicitly say that the Supercharger network would be integrated into its carsÂ’ native navigation system (which is just Google Maps these days), but it did say that folks will be able to use the Volvo Cars app to do so. Via the app, youÂ’ll be able to locate chargers, get real-time availability info and pay for charging sessions. “As part of our journey to becoming fully electric by 2030, we want to make life with an electric car as easy as possible,” said Jim Rowan, Volvo CEO. “One major inhibitor to more people making the shift to electric driving – a key step in making transportation more sustainable – is access to easy and convenient charging infrastructure. Today, with this agreement, weÂ’re taking a major step to remove this threshold for Volvo drivers in the United States, Canada and Mexico.” Stay tuned, as itÂ’s only a matter of time until more and more automakers make a similar decision as Ford, GM and Volvo just made.
