It is a fantastic vehicle with good range, decent charging, impeccable safety, built-in Android interface and Google Maps, and older models sell for similar prices to the Ioniq 5 / ID4 etc. I test drove it and it is luxuirous, comfy, and just a great and beautiful car. I don’t even see it mentioned almost ever.
I’m guessing perhaps the range, but the 2024 RWD model has around 300mi and AWD 256mi of range. Older ones around 220mi. I’m considering it above all others I’ve driven because it has better ride height and viewing angles for me as I’m tall with a very long torso.
The range is only good, not great.
The charging is only good, not great.
The safety is comparable, nothing special.
The luxury is only good, not great.
The price is not great, not good, but merely mediocre.
They knocked all the EV features over to Google, who just isn’t as good at them yet.
Knock $10k off, or add 75 miles, then maybe.
I found it totally underhelming.
You forgot terrible Volve reliability
I drive the p2 and think it’s really good but on paper they’re just perfectly fine so people look at other cars. Nothing they do is the best but they’re pretty good overall. I mostly got the p2 because it has good driving dynamics but probably would have ended up with something else if I wasn’t looking for that.
