In Burlingame, CA, there's a lot of variety, and plenty of people who find hybrid vehicles appealing. With so many to choose from, it now becomes a matter of what you're getting out of the hybrid, and with the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Hybrid, you get everything you could want out of a SUV, along with efficiency, even the kind that can be powered by other vehicles.
Today, Volvo has taken to Twitter to invite us to "thumb drive" its dynamic, new luxury crossover, the XC60. Best of all, it takes less time than it takes a stoplight to change. Aimed at showing off the XC60's capabilities in both highway and city driving, these mini animations take on high-traffic urban environments like New York, Miami, and of course, San Francisco.

The automotive world has been abuzz as of late with good news about Volvo's latest generation of models. First, it was the XC90 that won Motor Trend's SUV of the Year, and then, the celebration surrounding the new S90 sedan. Now, it's the wagon's turn. Meet the 2018 V90.
Volvo has been making a lot of noise lately on the self-driving car front, including promising to take responsibility for any accident that occurs while in self driving mode.
Now our favorite automaker has released a video for Concept 26, a potential design for the interiors of their self-driving vehicles.
Concept 26 reinvents the driver's seat, and the way it reclines. It moves less like a typical car-seat, and more like a lazy boy recliner for ease in shifting from Drive Mode to Relax Mode.
Hold onto your hats, ladies and gentlemen, for the winners of MotorTrend's annual Car, Truck, and SUV of the Year have all been announced. This year, the field for SUV was pretty wide--consisting of sixteen entries. And we're proud to say the model that took the top spot was none other than the Volvo XC90.
A couple weeks ago it was reported that our favorite car company, and automotive safety technology company, Autoliv, have agreed to partner together in the ground-breaking autonomous driving (AD) initiative known as "Drive Me."
The project involves 100 families in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, who will use Volvos with the latest AD technology. This will be the first time AD cars will be used by members of the public for daily...
Volvo has boldly declared that by 2020, there will be no deaths or serious injuries inside a Volvo car. It's an ambitious goal, but it's already well on its way to becoming reality.
Since 2000, there has been a 50% reduction in injuries and deaths in new Volvo cars.
This is because of an advancement in active safety features Volvo calls "IntelliSafe." Some IntelliSafe features are basic things, like cornering lights, and daytime running lights to improve visibility.
Some IntelliSafe features are truly remarkable. City Safety can detect pedestrians and cyclists in your path.
At Volvo, the wheels of innovation are always churning. It's how we get standout features on the vehicles here at Volvo of Burlingame, and around the world, and now, Volvo is changing how we think of child seats.
In a new concept video released, the automaker re-imagines how children can travel safely in cars. As you can see, they've been able to position the child safety seat in the front making it easy…
