If we told you that the latest luxury car from Volvo featured a built-in champagne cooler, massager, a retractable touchscreen, two media displays in the rear and ambient lighting, you would probably think you were day-dreaming.
After years of waiting, we've finally got our first look at all three top-shelf Volvo models. First, it was the XC90, followed this past year by the S90 sedan. Now, the Swedes are showing off the body styling they do best. Meet the V90 wagon, which was unveiled today in Gothenburg for the world to see.

Here at McLaughlin Volvo, we're quite partial to the luxurious XC90 and its world-first safety features and semi-autonomous technology. We also love having a choice between an available 316-horsepower T6 Drive-E turbo and supercharged engine, and a 400-horsepower T8 plug-in hybrid electric engine. We know there's a lot to like about the XC90, so we love when it gets noticed.
This morning, it was announced that the XC90 has been chosen as a finalist for the 2016 North American Truck/Utility of the Year award...

Today, Volvo took the wraps off their new 2017 S90 sedan, an all-new model based on the automaker's new Scalable Product Architecture and design language. To our eyes, this is the most elegant model Gothenburg has put out yet, with athletic lines and a lavish interior that makes our eyes pop out.
"The first thing many of us noticed about the new XC90 is how it reminds us of the Volvos of our collective 1970s and 1980s youths: a perfect box, far more concerned with utility than sexiness, yet so exquisitely crafted that it screams expensive."

So writes Chris Walton in a recent Motor Trend review of the new Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription. Needless to say, the review was positive. Access it via the link below.

The new XC60 is much more than a refined aesthetic and powerful engine. It's more than a luxurious interior and myriad entertainment options. It's comfort and safety for your family. It's stability in the snow, and traction in the rain. In short, the XC60 is confidence when you need it.
