Volvo presented the S90 Ambience Concept, which represents the first sensory experience that connects the eyes, ears and nose. The concept allows passengers to connect with the car through their senses on a sensory level that we have not witnessed in a car until now.

The finalists for the World Car of the Year 2018 were announced back in January, and the final act took place these days at the New York Auto Show. Among the narrow candidates, we found the Kia Stinger, the electric Nissan Leaf and the likable Range Rover Velar. But the World Car of the Year award was taken home by Volvo with its XC60 SUV.
Already after the first drive with the new Volvo XC40, it was clear to us that the competition would be rightfully afraid of it. Fear of the fact that the XC40 is an extremely nice car in which the driver can feel the Swedish DNA in the design, materials used, minimalism, driving feeling and, of course, assistance and safety systems.
Polestar is a derivative of the Volvo brand, which, like other top brands, wants to offer more. Production of the Polestar 1 will begin in mid-2019, when the first customers should already get their hands on it. With this, the Swedes are returning to the game of prestigious coupes with a "big" Swedish coupe.
The new Volvo V60 offers style and substance, and this mid-size premium wagon will quickly become a thorn in the side of its German rivals. With the new V60, Volvo wants to at least limit the use of the word "SUV" and reintroduce the more frequent use of the word "station wagon" into the everyday vocabulary.
The Polestar is the first car produced by this advanced Volvo division. Recently, the two companies were still under the same roof, but at Volvo they decided to establish the Polestar brand and under its name manufacture their most powerful "Swedes". The Polestar 1 Coupe is the long-awaited hybrid sports car, which hides as much as 600 horsepower under the hood.
In Milan, Italy, Volvo Cars presented the XC40 model, its first compact SUV. For the Swedish car manufacturer, this is certainly a milestone, as they will add a third SUV to their catalog, which also belongs to its own segment. The Volvo XC40 will be the first Volvo in the class of compact SUVs, which is currently the fastest growing car class.
How many times have you heard that someone sets a new record on one of the most famous tracks and keeps quiet about it for a whole year? The already proverbially cold Swedes managed to cool down by a few degrees, because you have to have a damn good reason not to announce such news to the whole world at a moment's notice. And how they had it.
For fans of the Swedish brand, the new Volvo XC60 is probably the car they've been waiting for a long time and it certainly lived up to all expectations. It's just so different that it stands out.
You don't buy a new car just because your neighbor bought a new one. Or because your old car has more than 100,000 kilometers on the odometer. You should buy new cars mainly for safety reasons, which are becoming safer from generation to generation with a bunch of new technological driving aids. The safest cars not only protect passengers with technical solutions such as airbags, but also help the driver to avoid and prevent accidents.
Volvo recently teased with a trailer (see below) for its new smallest coupe in history – the Volvo Rider Concept XC Coupé. But this one is not what you expect.
The long-awaited new Volvo XC60 is here. Volvo unveiled the new generation of its mid-size SUV at the Geneva Motor Show. Its predecessor was on the market for nine years. In many ways, the new Volvo SUV shares the platform and design elements with the larger XC90 model.
