Although it's still relatively new to our South Gilbert Road showroom, the 2018 Volvo XC60 seems intent to pick up right where it's super-popular predecessor left off! Still adhering to the Swedish automaker's long-standing commitment to safety and security, it's dialed up innovation and luxury in equal measure to become a truly alluring utility prospect. But for those wondering how to get the most out of Volvo's emphasis in this area, here are some helpful tips.

Earlier this year, Volvo announced that Seattle would be the next city to enjoy the benefits of Volvo's connected car platform, as Volvo owners in the city will be able to take advantage of convenience services thanks to a smartphone app. Owners will be able to have their car cleaned or the fuel tank filled, with the services even being able to be provided while the vehicle owner is at work, sleeping or traveling.

Last month, the Volvo XC60 SUV earned the title of best performing large off-roader at the Euro NCAP 2017 Best in Class Safety Awards, while also taking home the honor as the vehicle with the best overall performance.

The XC60 nailed down a nearly-perfect score of 98 percent in the Adult Occupant category and in its Large Off-Road class, while also besting its class competitors by delivering a Safety Assist score of 95 percent -- 20 percentage points higher than its nearest rival.

Back in 2013, Volvo announced a new family of engines known as “Drive-E.” Like many of the brand’s powertrains that came before, the family of new T5, T6, and T8 engines used a form of forced induction called “turbocharging.” But where this translates to “speed” for many of our customers, the secret behind what makes sedans like the S60 so fun to drive and efficient can be found in how Volvo uses this technology.

In our last blog post, we mentioned a Volvo wagon that many long-time owners might be familiar with. In 1997, the 850 Estate became the first model the brand sold with their own all-wheel drive system underpinning it. Twenty years on, the Swedish automaker’s AWD technology has continued to evolve thanks to constant innovation, and the new Drive-E family of engines. But as impressive as the system found in the new 2018 XC60 might be, what’s coming down the pike is nothing short…

If you’ve caught a Volvo commercial on TV, or even heard someone talk about their new XC90, you might have found yourself thinking, “wait, what happened to them?” At first blush, it may seem like the Swedish carmaker has ditched its emphasis on family-function and safety in favor of luxury, but in truth, they’ve done no such thing. While the premium appointments are more opulent than ever, Volvo has also continued to innovate on the safety and security front.

When it comes to engineering a Volvo vehicle, safety has always been the largest focus. Since 1959, Volvo has been using innovative safety technology to save the lives of those in the vehicle and others around them on the road. Today, many of the latest safety technology comes in the form of driver assist technologies and the use of cameras and radars to monitor the road. But when you look back on the history of Volvo engineering and the commitment to safety, you can see that at one time it was a simple as a safety belt.
