If you are a fan of the famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio, you should know that he does not only dedicate himself to starring in great films like Titanic or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He also dedicates his time to caring for the environment, due to the importance he gives to climate change, and his car collection is a great proof of this.
If we pay attention to the models that we find inside the celebrity’s garage, we will see examples such as the Polestar 2, the Toyota Prius, the Tesla Model S or the Volvo XC90. Today we will talk about this last one, since it is the one in which he has been seen most recently, and it stands out for having a really economical maintenance for a millionaire celebrity like him.
A Hybrid Worthy of an Environmental Defender
To put you in context, we are talking about a hybrid SUV, equipped with a 2.0 L 4-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric engine, which together register a maximum power of 235 horsepower and a maximum torque of 354 lb-ft. In turn, it runs at a maximum speed of 143 mph, and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about 7.8 seconds. It is also distinguished by its comfortable interior, with heated and massaging seats, and a 9-inch touch screen.
The value of this SUV is around $68,000, a worrying sum for any mortal, but not for a movie star, clearly. However, the same does not happen with its maintenance. Well, according to various media, its annual service ranges between $800 and $1,000, including air filter replacement and battery changes, among other details.
Let’s remember that DiCaprio’s net worth is around $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and that he earns around $2.5 million per movie. So, without a doubt, this Volvo does not mean a large amount of money in his expenses, so not only does he care for the environment, but also his pocket over the years.
And you… would you follow the same steps as Leonardo DiCaprio and buy an XC90?
