Guess what’s the next best thing about Tomb Raider other than Lara Croft’s go, get-em attitude?! Volvo XC40! Please don’t judge us if, at least for now, we recommend a similar muscly model from the used cars for sale in Dubai! Getting back to the “spec-powered” SUV, Volvo XC40 is now going to be Lara Croft’s personal new ride in the next movie.

The swedish firm has even started its own “Lara Croft car page” for fans looking to buy the same model. But the news doesn’t just stop there! With sales standing at 2000 cars a month, the model has become the most successful launch in the UK! The figures are especially surprising because XC40 is Volvo’s first ever SUV and it has already started giving competition to the big fish of the pond; Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW!

Powered by a 2.0 litre, four-cylinder charged engine, the model is an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends out power to all four wheels! The 247 horse-powered SUV can belt out top speeds of 155 mph with a 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds!

Bob jacobs, the head of the marketing and brand communication mentioned how Lara Croft’s and the car’s personalities meshed really well together saying, “One of the things that we really loved about the film is Lara Croft’s character: bold, surprising and always ready for adventure, just like the Volvo XC40.” Well, we can’t argue with that seeing how the car looks so fierce to boot!

Volvo becomes yet another car maker that chose Hollywood to market their models. This trend is seen in many movies with James Bond sagas to The Fast and the Furious movies. Check out these 7 car movies that made awesome car technologies their heroes!
