Volvo has expanded its DRIVe range of business models.

DRIVe models feature low emissions and low tax bills.

The current DRIVe cars – C30 SportsCoupe, S40 saloon and V50 Sportswagon – all offer class leading CO2 emissions thanks to an intelligent Start/Stop system.

But now the Volvo DRIVe range has been extended to include: XC60 SUV, V70 and XC70 estates; and S80 executive saloon.

All DRIVe models are diesel-engined and feature a manual gearbox optimised for extra-low fuel consumption. They also have low rolling resistance tyres and reduced air drag.

Introducing front-wheel drive and a new 2.4D engine to the XC60 SUV and XC70 estate has reduced CO2 figures to 159g/km – under the critical 160g/km writing down allowance tax break.

Prices start at £15,745 for the Volvo C30 DRIVe S model; and rise to £28,995 for the DRIVe SE Lux Volvo XC60 model.
