Just between us, are there really "best" Volvo cars for women and female-identifying shoppers? On its face, this distinction might sound a bit limiting; after all, women are multifaceted and extremely diverse. They do everything from raising children and running businesses to fighting fires and constructing buildings, so how could they all have the same automotive needs? The answer is: They don't.
Each of our customers, regardless of their gender, visits our store with a unique set of requests. Some prioritize fuel economy and cargo space; others want the most powerful engine or the highest towing strength. No matter where you fall on this spectrum, we're confident that the collection of Volvo vehicles at Quantrell Volvo Cars will quickly become your top picks
What Determines the Top Volvo Cars for Women?
After years of serving our community, our Quantrell Volvo Cars staff has noticed a few commonalities among people shopping for cars: For women, torque ratings and off-road abilities usually don't make the list. Instead, many of our patrons say that the most important aspects of a vehicle are its safety, reliability, and overall functionality – and Volvo automobiles have those in spades.
If you're visiting this page so you can make the smartest (and most personalized) investment in your automotive future, welcome! We're thrilled you're here exploring the new Volvo lineup of wagons and SUVs. Let's dive in and find the best cars for women like you who are both smart and savvy.
The Best-Selling Volvo Cars for Women
Women and female-identifying people often approach their car searches with a laser focus on features that actually improve daily life. They want safety systems that go above and beyond, interiors designed for comfort and organization, and technology that's intuitive, not overwhelming.
Rather than chasing horsepower or hype, many women prioritize value and reliability. If this sounds like you, the curated list of new Volvo cars below is designed to help you cut through any marketing noise and zero in on vehicles that truly fit how you live and drive.
Volvo XC40
This compact luxury SUV is a long-time favorite. Its size makes it agile in cities and small garages, and its thoughtful cabin storage means clutter takes a backseat. Though some call the Volvo XC40 trim levels "cute cars for women," we say they're just the right blend of power and design.
- Standard wireless phone charging and voice command
- Smartphone control of A/C, heat, charging, and door locks
- Standard Collision Mitigation, Park Assist, and Lane Keeping Aid
- Heated front seats with power lumbar support
- Fits into most garages at 174.8 inches long
- 247 horsepower means no struggling to drive uphill
- Tows 3,500 pounds,1 enough to cart ATVs or a motorcycle
Volvo EX40
Another one of our most popular "female" cars is this all-electric SUV. Its cabin and technology are almost mirror images of the gas-powered Volvo XC40, but its powertrain is a different story. The Volvo EX40 runs on electricity for extreme fuel savings, gets up to an EPA-estimated 296 miles of range,2 and can hit 60 mph in as little as 4.6 seconds.
- Tempered windows for five times the collision protection of regular glass
- Exterior ground lighting, a must-have if you regularly drive at night
- Standard wireless phone charging and voice command
- Smartphone control of A/C, heat, charging, and door locks
- Standard Collision Mitigation, Park Assist, and Lane Keeping Aid
- Charges from 0% to 100% at your home charger overnight3
- Front trunk holds a portable charger, great for adding battery power at a friend's house
Volvo XC60
Volvo XC60 SUVs are often called "nice cars for women," a phrase that can understate their versatility. This best-seller graces roadways across the U.S. because it's exceptionally well-suited to nearly every driver, and its expanded second-row legroom makes it a fantastic family SUV.
- Tablet-style front touchscreen with Google functionality
- Fold-down second-row armrest, great for trips with kids
- Dual-pane panoramic sunroof for an expansive cabin feel
- Elegantly disguised storage beneath handcrafted accents
- Flat, wide trunk floor for easier loading and unloading
- Oncoming Lane Mitigation and Slippery Road Alert
- Double-locking anti-theft technology on all doors
Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid
If Volvo XC60 comforts are calling your name but you'd like to dip your toe into the EV world, the Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid is an outstanding middle ground. Not fully gas-powered and not fully electric, this midsize SUV lets you refuel with either or both sources. This flexibility also extends into the automobile's cabin, where you'll find:
- Up to an EPA-estimated 35 miles of all-electric range2
- Almost unheard-of EPA-estimated MPGe up to 63 Combined2
- LED headlights for optimal nighttime visibility
- High-performance audio systems with available air-ventilated subwoofers
- Dual-pane panoramic roof with power sunshade and tinted glass
- Intelligent Driver Information System for focused help in emergencies
- 11.2-inch center display with Google and voice-command services
Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid
You might say that the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid is one of the ultimate luxury cars for women solely based on its cavernous three-row cabin, but that's not why this SUV is so beloved. Sure, it's extremely fun to drive with its 455 horsepower, but its true genius lies in its ability to use both gas and electricity.
- Up to an EPA-estimated 32 miles of all-electric range2 – no gas needed!
- Up to an EPA-estimated 58 Combined MPGe2 for extreme fuel savings
- Six- or seven-seat cabin configurations for ultimate flexibility
- Hands-free tailgate with kick sensor, helpful with small kids in busy parking lots
- Wireless device charging so cords don't clutter up your front row
- Portable Level 1 charger included (store it in the trunk for on-the-go access)
- Adaptive Cruise Control to effortlessly maintain safe distances on highways
Volvo V60 Cross Country
Who says the perfect car for women has to be a sedan? The Volvo V60 Cross Country proves that wagons are back, and in a big way. Not only does this gem give you five comfy seats across spacious rows, but its hatchback-style trunk and 2,000-pound towing capacity make it a wonderful road trip companion.
- Ergonomic seating for five with an individually folding back row
- Power- or remote-operated tailgate with programmable open height
- Generous 42.3 inches of front legroom for even the tallest adults
- Integrated navigation with real-time traffic information
- Roof rails and roof box accessories for even more storage space
- Advanced air purifier that stops up to 95% of hazardous particles
