The company's V60 Cross Country is essentially the same thing in wagon form. Making a jacked-up sedan version was a simple cut-and-paste of the two concepts.

The main change made to the garden-variety S60 sedan is the S60 Cross Country's 7.9... inches of ground clearance, some 2 inches more than the standard car. While that lifted stance of the S60 Cross Country...

We hear the term “Vehicle Safety” tossed around a lot these days, but here at McLaughlin Volvo, we want you to know that when we say “Vehicle Safety,” we mean for everyone, and that includes the little ones.

The Volvo 850 GLT was brand-new in 1991, bursting on the scene with a five-cylinder transverse engine and an elevated new level of driving pleasure. The development of the Volvo 850 series came from a project entitled Project Galaxy—aptly named because it definitely reached for the stars. In 1993 the estate version (wagon for U.S. folks) was introduced, and things just kept getting better from there!

Volvo Car Group is not just an automaker, it's a forward-thinking company that often challenges the status quo. It's in this spirit that we're pleased to announce that Volvo has launched a unique agreement with the Worldwide Fund for Nature in an effort to reduce emissions of CO2.

Volvo has been a leading innovator in the automotive market for years, so much so that many people refer to its designs as “uniquely Scandinavian” or simply “Volvo-esq.” The two new concepts from the Swedish automaker, named the Concept 40 series offer bold new styling and a unique perspective on car design that will open up architectural and design options for Volvo’s engineers. The two concepts, an SUV (Volvo Concept 40.1) and a Sedan (Volvo Concept 40.2), are built atop Volvo’s Compact Modular Architecture (CMA).

As technology grows, more and more consumers are trading the in-person shopping experience for app-based mobile shopping.

The XC in Volvo's XC60 stands for "cross-country," high implies this a crossover wagon that can go anywhere. However, last year's model was front-wheel-only. This problem has been rectified for 2016, and the all-new Volvo XC60 received high marks from Motor Trend in a recent review.

The big news is the XC60's revised engine, which is a supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that puts out 302 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and now packaged with the aforementioned all-wheel drive. With an eight-speed automatic transmission, the XC60 gets from 0-60 mph...

When it comes to a standout driving dynamic, and the feeling of luxury throughout, the new Volvo lineup gives you plenty of it. You get all that style, space, and efficiency, particularly in the XC90 T8 Twin Hybrid edition. And, to show how long you can go in it, Volvo powered it up with the help of other vehicles.

Fantastic design. Each line carved to perfection. The very essence of it exudes a bold, strong aura that radiates to all who enter. This is truly a creation that stands upon the shoulders of giants, building on generations of design and sculpture that came before it. And the house behind it is nice too.

 

Intelligent, beautiful design. Cutting-edge innovation. Meet the new #S90.

If you're anything like us, you'd love to take a vacation but you hate planning it. After all, you've worked hard enough saving up the money to travel, why should you have to work even harder booking passage, making reservations, and dealing with the hassle that comes with traveling?
