Volvo

Swedish auto giant Volvo is headquartered in Gothenburg, though it’s a subsidiary of China’s enormous Geely Holding Group.

Volvo Cars has built a reputation for producing safe, reliable and solid vehicles, and more recently it has also focussed on electrification, technology and showcasing its bold Scandinavian design heritage.

The current Volvo range is headed by the popular XC40, XC60 and XC90 luxury SUVs, as well as the C40 and EX small electric SUVs and - from 2025 - the new EX90 large electric SUV, plus the S60 sedan and the higher-riding V60 Cross Country crossover.
