About Volvo Vehicles
Vehicle Summary
Founded in 1927, Volvo is an automaker based in Gothenburg, Sweden. While the brand had relatively humble beginnings, Volvo has claimed its stake as a luxury brand in recent years. Volvo currently offers a wide range of sedans, hatchbacks, crossovers, and SUVs for sale in the North American market, with popular models including the S60 sedan, the C70 convertible, and the XC90 SUV.
The Volvo S60 is a luxury sedan that offers spacious seating for up to five people; in its 2018 model year, its base T5 Dynamic trim is offered with standard equipment such as a turbocharged 2.0L engine at 240 hp, a sunroof, forward-collision warning/mitigation, and even Wi-Fi capability. The 2018 S60 is also available with optional all-wheel drive, though front-wheel drive is standard on most trims.
Those with a need for more space would do well to check out the Volvo XC90, a midsize crossover SUV that is available for sale in both two- and three-row configurations to seat anywhere from five to seven passengers. Standard equipment on the 2017 XC90 includes a turbocharged 2.0L engine at 250 hp, a panoramic sunroof, premium vinyl upholstery, 10-speaker sound system, and roof rails. As with many Volvo models, all-wheel drive is optional and front-wheel drive is standard on most trims.
The 2017 Volvo XC90 also comes in a plug-in hybrid version, which boasts a supercharged 2.0L engine at 316 hp and an electric motor for a combined output of 400 hp; it gets an EPA-estimated 54 MPGe combined.1
From its modest beginnings in the 1920s to the powerhouse it has become today, Volvo has come a long way over the years. There's no doubt that today's Volvo cars are synonymous with luxury, power, and style.

FAQ
Q: Who is Volvo owned by?
A: The Volvo Car Group is owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding (also commonly referred to as Geely Holding), which is based in China. Prior to this, Volvo was owned by the Ford Motor Company from 1999-2010.
Q: Is Volvo a luxury brand?
A: While Volvo wasn't launched as a luxury vehicle brand, it is safe to say that within the past decade or so, Volvo has evolved to become known as a luxury car maker by the cars they now offer for sale.
Q: Do Volvos use Ford engines?
A: When Volvo was briefly owned by the Ford Motor Company in the early 2000s, some Volvo models (including the V70 and S80) were manufactured with Ford engines. However, Volvo began using its own in-house scalable platform architecture (SPA) engines in 2013.
Q: What does the Volvo logo mean?
A: While many people associate the Volvo logo with the male gender symbol, it is actually believed that the logo was created to represent an ancient symbol for the chemical element iron. In ancient times, most weapons in Sweden (where Volvo got its start) were made of metal—so the logo is meant to be associated with the characteristics of iron, including longevity and strength.

Reviews for Volvo
One of my first favorite rides for a while
I've always liked the new Volvo style, but the new S60 in 2012 came out blazing. I had the premium design, all leather interior with, at the time, first auto-stop and accident prevention feature that was standard on all Volvos. That alone made the car 3X safer than other similar cars in the price range. The handling was always so smooth, love the turning radius, there wasn't any noise or crackling like in cheaper brands. I love that the interior surfaces were all soft, not cheap hard plastic, it makes a huge difference when you get into and out of the car banding, hands or feet by accident. It felt like the quality was all around me. I loved the connectivity to my iPhone, was always so seamless, and the trunk with folding seats was A+.
Pros
- Ride and Handling: Great size for this car.
- Interior Space: Beautiful, metallic accents, leather covers and soft touch surfaces.
- Styling: Beautiful front and back, stands out from all European designs
great car great deal
This is my third Volvo and bar far my best yet. Was originally a rental car - thus it was in excellent shape - virtually brand new with low mileage which is hard to find when buying a used Volvo. I had it shipped to my location and was sold immediately. It arrived as described and the sales process was easy and fast. Everything was in working order and I have enjoyed the car everyday since then. Carmax was easy to work with and came recommended to me - I now recommend them to others looking for a great car.
Pros
- Power:
- Fuel Economy:
- Ride and Handling:
Cons
- Braking: only complaint is brakes squeak in reverse - literally no other complaints
nothing but issues
ive had this car since march and have had nothing but issues since driving it iff the lot. I had to schedule 2 different times within first month to have things looked at by CarMax and have gad to wait a week each time to bring it in and since then my car keeps sayin maintenance needed and battery low. I use this car for less than 5miles a day, less that 50 a week. it shouldnt need maintenance or have a low battery when its barely being used. very unsatisfied.
Pros
- Dashboard:
Cons
- Cost to Maintain: do many issues for a car that literally goes no where.
- Reliability: always an issue
