Volvo has restyled the XC40, EX40 and EC40 together for the first time since the XC40 debuted in 2017, with new Matrix LED "Thor's hammer" headlights, a redesigned front end, an 11.2-inch infotainment system with Google's Gemini assistant, and new safety hardware.

Battery-electric cars took 98.7% of Norway's new passenger car registrations in August 2026, a monthly record. The total market shrank 3.4% at the same time, which is why OFV now frames further emissions cuts as a question about the old fleet rather than about new-car sales.
An Conghui, the new chairman of Geely Automobile, told the company's half-year results conference that from 2028 cars from the Geely Auto portfolio will be built at Volvo Cars' European plants. No model has been confirmed, but Geely Auto covers Geely, Zeekr and Lynk & Co, and Ghent is the plant with the electric lines already running.
Who owns Europe's car brands: the five groups that hold most of them, the icons now controlled from China, India and Abu Dhabi, and the same map sorted by country.
China's car market runs on a handful of giant groups, each fielding a stack of brands. Here is who owns what - the parent companies, the sub-brands, the Huawei alliance, and why the chart keeps changing.
Six powertrains are on sale and three of them are called hybrids. What MHEV, HEV, PHEV, EREV and EV mean, how far each goes on its battery, and how to tell them apart.
Norway sells almost nothing but electric cars, and never paid a purchase subsidy to get there. The tax structure that did it, year by year, and how it ends in 2028.
Poland's new-car market grew 19% in June, but the story of the month was the MG HS - the Chinese-owned SUV climbed to 4th among every model sold in the country, its best result yet.
The UK's new-car market grew 9.2% in the first half of 2026, but the standout was the Jaecoo 7 - a Chinese SUV that only reached UK showrooms in 2025, and already the country's third best-selling car.
Volvo was founded in 1927 in Gothenburg, Sweden, and built its reputation on safety engineering, introducing innovations such as the three-point seatbelt in 1959 and sharing the patent freely across the industry. The company passed through Ford ownership from 1999 to 2010 before Chinese conglomerate Geely Holding acquired it, funding a broader model range and a shift toward electrification.
The current lineup spans SUVs (XC40, XC60, XC90), sedans and estates (S90, V60, V90), and a growing family of electric vehicles built on dedicated EV platforms, including the EX30, EX40, EX60 and flagship EX90. Volvo also holds a controlling stake in Polestar, the standalone electric performance brand it co-owns with Geely.
Production is split between Sweden, Belgium, China and a US plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina, giving Volvo manufacturing access across its three largest markets.
