Join our friends at AutoMotoTube as they provide a walk-around of this world-class whip:

Protecting Children, Delighting Parents

Wouldn't it be nice if child seats were easier to use, and safer, too? Volvo was just thinking the same thing.

Children's spines are not fully ossified until they reach around eight years of age, but are particularly cartilaginous before the age of two. This makes toddlers highly susceptible to injury during a crash-- complicated, too, by their proportionally larger heads.

Traditional front-facing child seats protect children better than no seat at all, but to best reduce injury, a rear-facing child seat is needed.

Volvo, always innovating, has thought up a way to make the rear-facing

Google designer Isabelle Olsson does just that, taking the XC90 on a trip to Spain.

Benevolent Robots Join Forces With Volvo for Safety

Volvo's new robot may be more rollercoaster than Optimus Prime, but we still like to believe that when robots finally achieve consciousness, instead of taking over the world, they'll just help cars be safer.

When a car goes off road, it is subjected to very different forces than if it is in a collision on-road. Your car will be jostled over uneven terrain, and may flip. In order to test safety measures, Volvo would normally crash a car.

When you need to destroy a car in order to test something, though, you can be a little conservative.

The Volvo V60 Is Ready for a Road Trip

However, even more essential than a map and an open mind on a road trip is the car you choose to drive in. With this summer's big plan fast approaching, perhaps it's time to…

Did Volvo Originate in the Time of the Vikings?


Volvo comes from the land of the Vikings. While Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson may have been a few hundred years late to craft boats for pillaging and plunder, they were just in time to create amazingly durable and safe cars.

The brand new Volvo XC90 reaches back into the days of yore with running lights shaped like Mjolnir-- Thor's hammer. How else does Volvo honor its history?

Volvo was founded in 1927. Unlike…
