£1499 for the Volvo XC40 B4 Plus. With the £750 Motability contribution that £40k car is costing you £749 up front. The classiest vehicle on the scheme for anything like that AP.
I really like Volvos but the fuel efficiency of the XC40 is really poor so yes, you get a very good car for the AP, but have to consider running costs.
This is true. I don’t drive very far though and value comfort & prestige over saving w few quid at the pumps. I also live in a flat so any cost savings of an EV or ever PHEV would be largely lost on me.
I don’t travel too far at the moment either so can understand your point.
I’m also unable (at present) to charge at home, so am in a strange position of trying to take advantage of the £750 discount and simply getting a car, whilst weighing up the chance to save money for travel costs.
Currently stuck between choosing the XC40 or a Tucson.
Another consideration is the possibility Volvo will release a new model soon. Could explain why they’ve dropped the AP so heavily (clearing space).
