A MAJOR car brand has announced that two much-loved estate engines will return today after a year off the market.
The brand had planned to adopt only SUVs from this year, but confirmed a stunning reversal of the decision just a few weeks ago.
Last year, Volvo said it was scrapping its entire range of estate models in favor of larger vehicles.
This would then lead to the brand’s plans to achieve an all-electric range by 2030.
However, last month the company reversed its decision to bring back two of its most popular cars.
From today, the V60 and V90 will be back on sale, with customers able to place orders via the Volvo website.
The V60 is available in Plus specification for £41,680, while the Ultra version costs £45,722.
That’s a decent price cut from the previous rate of £47,750.
Meanwhile, the most expensive V90 will cost £61,425, down again from £62,220.
A spokesperson said: “We withdrew the V60 and V90 from sale in the UK last August amid falling appetite for estate cars.
“While this will continue to be a long-term trend, we have seen a resurgence in our estate products in recent months and have decided to reintroduce the V60 and V90 to our UK portfolio in response to this.”
However, the future of the two models still remains shrouded in mystery, given the manufacturer’s Net Zero goal.
The duo debuted a few years apart in 2016 and 2018, respectively.
Given that the average lifespan of a model is around seven to 10 years, it is unlikely that they will exceed the 2030 limit.
Volvo declined to be interested in the matter, saying: “We do not comment on future model plans.”
It comes after all drivers in Britain were issued a four-word warning amid a fall in fuel prices.
