Revenue Model & Pricing

Volvo Cars earns most of its revenue from selling new cars, mainly SUVs such as the XC60, XC90, XC40/EX40 and EX30, through dealers, fleet sales and online channels. Parts, service, accessories, financing and subscription services add further revenue. Electrified models (battery-electric plus plug-in hybrid) made up 46% of sales in 2025. Volvo shares platforms and components with Geely group brands, and plans to raise that parts commonality to cut material costs.
