Volvo Offers All-Inclusive 24-Month Subscription for 2019 XC40

CARS.COM — Volvo announced at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show details of Care by Volvo, a program that will offer a 24-month subscription alternative for the new XC40 small SUV that gets you the vehicle plus insurance, service and maintenance starting at $600 per month with no down payment.

“Care by Volvo takes the guesswork out of car ownership, covering insurance, service, maintenance and basically everything except gas,” said Anders Gustafsson, CEO of Volvo Car USA, in a statement.

The company says that signing up for the Care by Volvo service will be done online at www.volvocars.com/us and that deliveries of vehicles will begin in the spring.

The 2019 XC40 will be the first Volvo offered through Care by Volvo, and two well-equipped versions will be available at the service’s launch:

• XC40 T5 all-wheel-drive Momentum model with Premium Package, Vision Package, heated front seats and steering wheel, panoramic moonroof and 19-inch wheels
• XC40 T5 all-wheel-drive R-Design model with Premium Package, Vision Package, Advanced Package, heated front seats and steering wheel, moonroof, Harman Kardon premium sound and 20-inch wheels

Volvo says the no-negotiation process starts with an online order and the car will be delivered through a dealer. Those who sign up for the two-year subscription will have an option to change vehicles and start a new 24-month subscription as early as 12 months into the deal. Care by Volvo also will introduce 24/7 customer care and concierge services, including roadside assistance.

The fine print on the deal is that there is a 15,000-mile-per-year allowance, and it covers tire and wheel damage protection, wear-and-tear replacements including wipers and brakes, and all factory-scheduled maintenance. Subscribers will be insured under a personal policy issued by Liberty Mutual that provides $250,000 bodily injury protection per person and $500,000 bodily injury coverage per accident, with a $500 deductible applied to both comprehensive and collision coverage.

Volvo officials confirmed there will be a cost involved to break the 24-month agreement early but did not offer specifics on how it will be determined.
