Peugeot e-3008 review
Never has a Stella been so significant. No, not a pint of Belgium’s finest enjoyed at 6am in Luton airport to kick-start the holiday of a lifetime, but rather Stellantis’s new STLA (pronounced ‘Stella’ – geddit?) architecture.

Volvo says goodbye to diesel cars; makes its final diesel car
Volvo announced it to the world at Climate Week NYC in September last year, and now they have made it a reality. The brand has built its last diesel car. On a cloudy Thursday in early February, Volvo’s plant in Ghent, Belgium, produced its last diesel-powered car, a V60. And just the other day, their plant in Torslanda, Sweden, saw its last XC90 diesel car roll off the production line.
Volvo builds its final diesel-powered car, a blue XC90
It's over between Volvo and diesel engines. Last September, at Climate Week NYC, the Swedish carmaker said it was breaking up with Rudolph Diesel's popular, globetrotting invention. Earlier this month, the Volvo plant in Torslanda, Sweden, sent the penultimate diesel-powered XC90 into the world. Then came the ender, the last of its kind: A blue XC90 produced at Volvo's Ghent, Belgium, plant utilizing a twin-turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder mild hybrid making 235 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Just as with the last-of-its-kind Audi R8 that recently emerged from Audi's Bollinger Hofe facility, the XC90 is headed to a special assignment, the World of Volvo museum, event and conference space slated to open April 14 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Volvo Kills the Diesel Engine Forever
Volvo is living up to the promise it made last year when it announced to end production of vehicles powered by diesel engines in early 2024. This XC90 assembled at the company's Torslanda factory is the final oil-burner produced by the Swedish automaker, ending an era that started 45 years ago. The blue SUV won't be heading to a customer since it'll go into a museum for posterity.
