Part 2: Mexico Real-World Range, Real-World Roads The move from winter testing in Montebello to Mexico City changes the evaluation completely. Not because of performance. Because of the environment.

Cold temperatures, ice, deep snow, and unpredictable traction quickly reveal how well a car is engineered. Volvo understands this better than most manufacturers. Born in Sweden, the brand has spent decades perfecting vehicles capable of handling harsh winter conditions safely and confidently. Photo by Alain Kuhn Von Kuhnenfeld - 2026
