This is a well-sorted, high-spec T5 with major components addressed and Polestar power under the bonnet. Drives great, sounds even better, and is ready for a new owner.
Located in Peterborough – can deliver within reason. I bought this car as I've always admired cars that are different, that stand out from the crowd, unlike the standard Audi or BMW that you see everywhere on the road. Something practical yet genuinely fun to drive, that’s exactly what this car delivers. It’s rare to find a compact estate with Volvo’s iconic 5 cylinder turbo engine, with the Polestar tune that gives that edge that most people don’t expect from a family estate.
What makes it stand out is the balance between performance, comfort, and character. You get the safety and refinement Volvo is known for, but with a kick under the bonnet. Turbocharged, 220+ bhp, still composed on long drives or B-roads. Unlike many modern cars, it’s engaging without being aggressive.
My favourite thing about this car is the engine and the way it sounds, the unique 5-cylinder note, It’s subtle when you want it to be, but with it's refined performance, it's a true sleeper. Something that feels genuinely rewarding to own.
Being one of the last Volvos built before Ford-era dilution really kicked in, it's still carries that old-school Scandinavian solidness that's near impossible to find.
