Last year was a record year for the Volvo brand, with its all-new 90 Series models driving sales to a best-ever 534,332 units pushed globally. While 2017 is far from over—although we’re getting there—the Swedish automaker is on track to eclipse that thanks to the introduction of the new XC60 and the continued success of other vehicles.
Practically since the brand’s inception, safety has been a staple of all cars, trucks, and SUVs made by Volvo. But as the march of progress continues ever on, their focus has evolved to include connectivity and autonomous driving functions. This had led to cars like the XC90 and S90 offering state-of-the-art features to make your busy life easier to manage.
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.
Earlier today, Green Car Journal named Volvo's premium hybrid SUV, the XC90 T8 Twin Engine, as the winner of its annual Luxury Green Car of the Year Award.
“It is an honor to receive this award from Green Car Journal for the XC90 T8,” said Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO, Volvo Car USA. “Volvo is committed to a vehicle electrification strategy that will make powerful and efficient plug-in hybrid powertrains available...

— Newspress USA (@NewspressUSA) January 21, 2016…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...

"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."
We here at McLaughlin Volvo have to tip our hat to our esteemed Swedish automaker: the redesign of its flagship SUV, the Volvo XC90, is altogether incredible.
No need to take our word for it, either. Just get a load of this luxurious looker in the video below; you'll soon see there's good reason for our rationale:
Sure, we definitely dig its new bigger, beefier body style. But it's behind the scenes…
Many high powered executives prefer to be chauffeured. These means making the backseat the first priority. This mode of travel is especially popular for Chinese executives, so it is no surprise that Volvo introduced this new concept at the Shanghai Auto Show.
At McLaughlin Volvo, we have new vehicles to bring luxury, comfort, and safety to a variety of budgets and lifestyles. For our high end clients, we have the 2016 Volvo XC90 Excellence.

Back when the 2015 Volvo XC90 was unveiled, we got word that it would have two powertrain options unlike any other. One was purported to be a 2.0L four-cylinder engine, while another would be the same mill fitted with two turbochargers and an electric turbo-compressor. 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…
