Luxury carmaker slashes prices by up to R271,000 – For a limited time

Volvo has announced that it is now offering a 15% discount on select models for a limited time in South Africa.
The promotion will run until the end of the month on 31 May 2025 at participating Volvo dealerships nationwide.
This means interested parties will need to act quickly to view their Volvo model of choice, as the promotion is only available for the next four days.
The carmaker stated that the discount is an opportunity for local motorists to own one of the brand’s premium SUVs at a more appealing price.
“This initiative reflects the Swedish brand’s commitment to making premium, sustainable motoring more accessible,” said Gresham Pillay, Commercial Manager at Volvo Car South Africa.
“This 15% discount reflects our commitment to delivering value alongside cutting-edge innovation. With our electric vehicle offers, there really isn’t a better time to buy a Volvo.”
