Since 1997, Volvo has offered the "Cross Country" variant of several of its "V" series models to American drivers with winning results.

The latter mill is referred to as the High Performance Drive-E Powertrain, and the results are quite impressive.

First of all, if the idea of a four-cylinder engine in…

We have to give Volvo and lead designer Thomas Ingenlath quite a bit of credit for the round of concept cars they've released over the past eleven months. Not only are they exceedingly stylish, they demonstrate a pretty exciting direction for a brand that has come to be the standard bearer for the family-friendly vehicles.

Now, we've gotten our first look at the first production car to wear the new design language. Introducing…

When it comes to the winning qualities of our lineup that matter most to our customers, safety almost always tops the list. With gas prices climbing like they have been, fuel-efficiency and performance tend to trail close behind. Lucky for our customers here at McLaughlin Volvo, our engineers are pulling out all the stops to ensure that they'll have all three.

It was Dead Poet Society that taught us the importance of art, as Robin Williams states: "And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

Engineering and technology may be the things that bring the car together, that make it run and entertain us on the road. They are…

To give people a bit of fun knowledge on Swedish culture and traditions, the truck division of Volvo teamed up with the Swede actor Peter Stormare (known for his roles in The Big Lebowski and Fargo) in a hilarious online series.

In America we don't have Lagom, but we do know the feeling of trying to find the…
