As Volvo begins to overhaul its entire lineup, the XC60 receives significant updates for 2015.
Polestar transforms the V60 wagon into a true performance car.
Volvo brings the traditional wagon back to America.
With a twin-charged engine, eight-speed automatic transmission and impressive new safety features, Volvo has breathed some new life into the S60.
Wagon lovers everywhere are lining the streets in celebration as Volvo brings a proper wagon back to America. But is it any good and, more importantly, will it sell?
Safety, speed and stunning looks highlight this Swedish sport-sedan, which isn’t far from the sweet spot in a segment dominated by German rivals.
Volvo is not known for putting brash styling and wild performance first. The XC60 R-Design breaks that mold.
Volvo’s S60 R-Design looks great, it’s sleek and luxurious inside, handles like a true sports sedan and… it’s from Sweden?
A solid offering in standard trim, luxury options elevate the S60 from being cross-shopped with a mid-size sedan to challenging some luxury rivals.
Volvo has finally built a genuine competitor to its German rivals and has even managed to keep the brand’s distinct identity intact. The only issue will be attracting buyers to this more engaging Volvo considering the automaker’s decades-old reputation for building solid and safe, and therefore dull, automobiles.
Volvo has once-again updated the look and features of its flagship S80 sedan for 2010. But are these changes enough to keep this old platform competitive in a segment that is changing fast?
Volvo’s R-Design package makes the C30 a looker and the price is right, but the premium hatchback’s performance level isn’t up to the competition.
Originally rumored to be replaced in 2010, the newXC90 model has been put on hold and Volvo is proving that there’s still life left in the original yet.
Often overlooked, the turbocharged five-cylinder R-Design Volvo S40 delivers most of what you’d expect from a European sports sedan and while there is no rear-drive option, an excellent AWD setup makes it both surefooted and fun.
Both impressive to look at and ride in, the safe-as-a-vault XC70 also weighs as much as one, putting a strain on the turbocharged six-cylinder.
The XC60 is a whole new vehicle from Volvo and underneath that sheetmetal there’s a brand new safety idea – City Safety automatic braking for accident avoidance. We even went so far as to test it against a brick wall!
