The Leicester community can now purchase and service their cars in true Scandinavian style with the opening of a new multi-million-pound store.
Work is now complete at the brand-new TMS Volvo Leicester store on Melton Road, which officially opened its doors to the community this week.
The store, which was moved from its previous premises on Almond Road, features Volvo’s signature lounge area, complete with luxurious Scandinavian furniture.
Customers have the option to relax while their car is looked after or work while they wait, thanks to the free Wi-Fi and relaxed office space.
The new retail centre also features an interior viewing window that allows customers to see all activity in the new workshops from – what feels like – the comfort of their own living room.
Helping combat the climate emergency and ahead of Volvo’s ambition for 90-100 per cent of its global sales to consist of electrified cars by 2030, the retailer’s new home is powered by over 200 solar panels and features 16 electric charging points for both plug-in hybrid and fully electric models.
The showroom has the latest range of Volvo cars on display, including the brand-new EX30 and the pure electric XC40 and plug-in hybrids, as well as a wide range of Volvo Selekt Approved Used models. More than 100 checks ensure these Approved Used cars not just safe but perform to the highest standards thanks to the latest Volvo parts and software.
Len Hallows, Managing Director at TMS Volvo Leicester, said: “The doors are finally open and we are so excited to be starting this new chapter of TMS Volvo Leicester. We’re incredibly proud to be supporting Volvo’s mission towards sustainability with our carefully designed showroom.
“This is a significant investment for us, and we’ve put a lot of work into creating the perfect space in which customers can feel relaxed and comfortable. It is a real pleasure to welcome existing and new guests to our new home to discuss all their motoring needs.”
