The New 2023 Volvo Lineup

Are Volvo cars good cars? The Swedish automaker is continuing with the luxury lineup and announces big changes for 2023.

Your Volvo dealership in the West Island shares along all the details you need to know about this new car lineup that will stay true to the luxury and safety you’d expect from these automobiles.

New 2023 Volvo Cars: Innovations in More Detail

Volvo announces a new name for its 2023 Volvo trim levels. You will find below the current names as well as their new names by taking the example of the Volvo SUV, the XC60:

The new Core, Plus and Ultimate names will designate even more luxurious options for your next Volvo.

Inside, you’ll find the same refinement that has made Volvo renowned and successful and much cherished by drivers. Everything is intended to meet the demand for cars that are both elegant and stimulating to drive.

The carmaker takes the time to explain the differences between the three versions.

The 2023 Volvo Lineup: What Are the Major Changes?

Core refers to the entry level for any selected Volvo automobile. The Plus mention starts from the base established by the Core version, improving in particular these components:

• Wheel size
• The sound system
• A revised leather interior

A Volvo Ultimate car represents the most upscale high-end of the range, including all the advantages of the Core and Plus versions. Other modifications and driver assistance technologies are also available in the Ultimate version.

To better understand the differences between the Core, Plus and Ultimate trims, let’s continue with the Volvo C40 Recharge example and talk briefly about its three versions.

Volvo C40 Recharge Core, Plus or Ultimate?

First, let’s mention that no matter which Volvo trim you choose, a panoramic roof is included as standard. Summer or winter, you’ll enjoy a roof that adds a touch of natural light to your cabin.

Here’s what you can expect depending on the version you choose:

Auto123 tests the Volvo XC40 Recharge, another electric model for the automaker, and draws some good conclusions about how to review the electric vehicle:

“But by and large, the XC40 Recharge looks pretty much the same as its older gas-powered sibling. And that’s just fine, because this is a handsome little crossover^[1].”

Volvo: A Fascinating 2023 Far from Finished

Volvo announced its desire to stop selling 100% gasoline vehicles in Canada as early as 2023. Le Guide de l’Auto believes that these cars will reach an even wider audience with hybrid models:

“These slightly more fuel-efficient (official fuel economy ratings to come) and smoother-accelerating versions, of course, never need to be plugged in, which is perfect if you live in a home without access to charging stations, for example^[2].”

So, the 2023 Volvo lineup will be hybrid, plug-in hybrid or 100 % electric.

Volvo models such as the Volvo XC40, XC90, V60 or V60 Country will be equipped as standard with a two-liter turbo engine and a 48-volt battery. The power of Volvo’s electric cars will still be fun to drive.

To give you an idea, the 2022 Volvo XC60 R-Design Recharge already boasts a combined 400 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of combined torque.

Your dealership near Highway 40 and just minutes from Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is ready for the next step from the automaker in providing ever more luxurious, reliable and safe cars.

Volvo West Island awaits you for a test drive of your future Volvo!
