Re: Definition of “List Price” for Luxury Car Tax

Re: Start in different mode

I always thought it strange that Volvo had the XC40 tested in Comfort mode instead of Eco. The manual tells us that “Drive mode Eco can help you with more eco-friendly driving, with greater fuel economy. Use this drive mode to save fuel and the environment”. It makes a mockery of the regulations th...

Re: Price reduction

Will be interesting to see if CBV prices change as the list prices change. CBV is just rental really so they I assume Volvo are looking at the depreciation figure while it is in your use. I wonder if the depreciation figure changes much if at all?
