Volvo adds extended maintenance plan to XC60 range in SA
For a limited period, new XC60 models, including the mild-hybrid B5 and Recharge T8 plug-in hybrid, will be covered by a seven-year/140,000km maintenance plan (whichever comes first). This extends the three-year/60,000km plan and applies across all trim levels. The offer is valid until the end of September 2025, while stocks last.
'Extending the maintenance plan of the XC60 reflects VCSA's focus on long-term vehicle care and customer value,' said VCSA MD Grant Locke.
'It forms part of our broader commitment to delivering an ownership experience that matches the quality of our vehicles and the needs of today's drivers.'
The maintenance plan covers scheduled services, including labour, parts and software updates, in line with Volvo's recommended service schedule, giving owners greater confidence and predictability in running costs.

Volvo boss Samuelsson wants EU to cut ‘unnecessary' car tariffs to defuse Trump threat
The CEO of Volvo Cars urged the EU to cut its 10% tariff on American-made cars, arguing European carmakers do not need protection from US competitors in an interview with Reuters on Thursday. Brussels, along with representatives from the car industry, has spent months trying to persuade Washington to lower its 27.5% tariff on imports of European cars. "If Europe is for free trade, we should be the ones showing the way and going down to very low tariffs first," Hakan Samuelsson said after the company reported second quarter earnings. US President Donald Trump has threatened to raise tariffs on EU car imports to 30% from August 1, increasing pressure on the bloc to strike a deal. Before Trump's tenure, the US had a 2.5% tariff on European-made cars, while the EU had a 10% duty on vehicles imported from the US, which Samuelsson previously said was unfair. "I think it's absolutely unnecessary. The European car industry definitely does not need to have any protection from American car builders," he told Reuters. Volvo Cars, majority-owned by China's Geely Holding ], is one of the most exposed European carmakers to US tariffs as most of its cars sold there are imported from Europe. Volvo announced on Wednesday that it would start US production in late 2026 of its best-selling model, the hybrid XC60, as a way to mitigate the tariffs. Its South Carolina plant only produces the Polestar 3 and electric vehicle model EX90, which has struggled to gain traction with US consumers. Volvo has also started slimming down its product offering in the US, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

Volvo will start building its XC60 in the US next year
Sweden's Volvo Cars said on Wednesday it would start producing its XC60 mid-size SUV in its plant in South Carolina in the US from late 2026. The shift highlights the carmaker's exposure to US President Donald Trump's car tariffs as it imports most of its hybrid and electric models from Europe. XC60 sales in the US rose by nearly 23% in the first six months of 2025, the Gothenburg-based company said, adding the model was most popular among US customers. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holding, said earlier this week it was booking an impairment charge of 11.4-billion crowns (R20,894,913,000) in the second quarter related to its ES90 and EX90 models due to tariffs and launch delays.
