Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson has said Volvo no longer intends to develop a Volvo to compete in the F-Segment luxury market dominated by the Mercedes S Class. It did seem likely when Geely bought Volvo from Ford that they would develop a car at the top end to tempt Chinese buyers in to a Volvo version of the […]
The Volvo S60 Poelstar – a T6 with tweaking by tuning firm Polestar – has made it in to limited production for the Australian market. But it only gets 350bhp. Last summer, Volvo revealed a rather bonkers S60 Polestar with a thumping great Garret turbo bolted on and numerous tweaks, which sported 508bhp and a 0-62mph under 4 seconds. It sounded like a […]
Volvo has revealed new R-Design versions of the V60, S60 and XC60 with R-Design body, lowered suspension and the option of Polestar Performance. With Volvo rolling out a facelift for most of its range at Geneva earlier this month, it’s now the turn of the appealing R-Design versions to make an appearance with new versions of the […]
Volvo are updating the new V40 for 2014 with new engine and gearbox options and a new 4WD option for the V40 Cross Country in Europe. It seems like the all new Volvo V40 (a car we like a lot) has only been with us five minutes, but Volvo are already updating the V40 for 2014 […]
Volvo has facelift versions of the S80, V70 XC70, S60, V60 and XC60 plus Cyclist Detection, new Auto High Beam and a tie-up with Spotify at Geneva. There’s nothing startlingly new for Volvo at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, but there is a a lot of new Volvo metal. That’s down to Volvo’s decision to give almost their whole range a […]
Volvo has given the S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 a facelift for 2013 which will debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor show. Only the V40 and XC90 remain unchanged. Volvo has gone slightly berserk with updates to its range for 2013, with almost the entire Volvo range – except the new V40 and the soon […]
Volvo is rolling out a new test drive programme that allows car buyers around the UK to enjoy proper test drives of the latest Volvos. It’s always difficult to change perceptions of a car brand. Even when you get the cars right, potential car buyers will still be saddled with their preconceptions. One good way […]
Volvo are investing £7 billion in their future – half of that in Sweden – and the first model to benefit will be the long overdue 2014 Volvo XC90. Just like all of Ford’s premium automotive adventures - Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin included – Volvo has suffered from a long period of under investment but now – with China’s […]
The world’s first production plug-in diesel hybrid – the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid – has gone in to production ahead of customer deliveries. It’s a year since Volvo revealed their V60 diesel hybrid plug-in – a world first for a production car – would go in to production in 2012 – and cost around £50,000 – […]
This week we have Volvo’s very promising new V40 in for review and test in the guise of the V40 D3 SE Nav manual. If the volume of traffic we’ve seen on Cars UK in recent months viewing stories, videos and photos of the all new Volvo V40 is anything to go by, the new […]
