Volvo starts producing automobiles in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1927 with the introduction of the first car model, the ÖV4 (Jakob). Over the following decades, Volvo builds a solid reputation globally as a manufacturer of safe and reliable vehicles through innovations such as the introduction of the three point seat belt in 1959.

Although Volvo Cars changes ownership from AB Volvo to Ford in 1999 and again to Geely, a Chinese company, in 2010, the automaker retains its ties to Sweden as the home of the design and development of its vehicles.

Volvo vehicles are a popular choice among used car buyers because they are perceived as safe vehicles, are roomy, and offer a premium feel without being ostentatious. The highest demand is for newer model SUVs and crossovers, particularly the XC60 and XC90, and they remain popular with shoppers who want an S60 or a V60 because of the comfort, cargo flexibility, and availability of all wheel drive.

When selling to used vehicle consumers, it is also important for the seller to highlight the documented service history of the vehicle as well as any advanced driver assistance systems and the condition of the interior, since potential purchasers of Volvo vehicles likely compare them with other brands in terms of comfort and utility for long distance driving.

In addition, a complete service history provides reassurance to potential purchasers about expected maintenance costs, which are generally higher for European made vehicles, and a long record of crash test excellence remains very attractive to used car buyers.

Here are a few Volvo facts to consider:

• The Volvo New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers repairs for either four years from the original purchase date of your vehicle or up to 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. (Volvo)
• The IIHS Top Safety Pick+ awards go to the Volvo XC90 for 2025–2026 and the Volvo EX90 for 2025–2026. The XC90 plug-in hybrid is now eligible for this award only on vehicles produced after December 2024. (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)
• When properly equipped, the XC90 is able to tow as much as 5,000 pounds, which is ideal if you are in the market for a three-row SUV to haul a boat or small camper. (Volvo)
• iSeeCars estimates the five-year depreciation of a new Volvo XC60 at approximately 49.7 percentage, or about $24,992 of its projected value at that time, compared with the luxury compact SUV segment average. (iSeeCars)
• According to iSeeCars, an average Volvo XC60 lasts around 156,086 miles, but has an 18.8 percentage chance of reaching 200,000 miles or more. (iSeeCars)
• The new 2026 Volvo EX30 Cross Country comes with an MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of $49,445, including destination, which gives you a base figure if you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to get your first Volvo electric vehicle. (Volvo)
• Volvo Cars announces total revenues of SEK 400.2 billion, and core operating profits for its full-year 2024 financials are SEK 27.0 billion; using the February 2025 average exchange rate (10.8071 SEK per USD), that’s approximately $37.0 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. (Volvo Cars + FRED)
• By 2030, Volvo Cars sets a goal that 90 to 100 percentage of its global sales are electrified, based on sales of fully electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. No more than zero to ten percentage of total vehicle sales are expected to be mild hybrid models, if necessary. (Volvo Cars)
• Involving a rearview camera image that may fail to display when the vehicle is placed in reverse (and may be fixed with a dealer-installed or over-the-air software update), this major recall and repair campaign affects 413,151 Volvo vehicles sold in the United States. (NHTSA)
