Many businesses are promising to cut carbon emissions and reduce their environmental impact. Promises like that are appealing to Earth-conscious San Francisco Bay area residents. Conservation is more than just part of the culture here -- if climate change isn't stopped, a huge chunk of the San Mateo and Burlingame shoreline will be underwater by the end of the century!*

It's no small task to make a name for oneself in a segment as saturated -- and fiercely competitive -- as the full-size luxury sedan. And yet, that's seemingly precisely what our beloved Swedish brand is poised to do with its all-new big-bodied beaut, the 2017 Volvo S90.

Wondering what, in particular, sets this four-door apart from the others? Then, give the video below a go. Here now to detail the S90's top traits are the vehicular gurus at Inside Lane:

Stocked to the gills with awesome amenities, the base Momentum trim is dressed to impress.

Might you be in the market for a compact luxury crossover? Well, if so, we here at Volvo of Burlingame have a funny feeling you may well find a whole heck of a lot to like about ours, the 2017 Volvo XC60.

Like what?

The Fast Lane Car critic Roman Mica offers up his take in the clip below. Take a look and listen right here:

Fitted with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the base T5 model makes a meaty 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which routes power to the…

If given the opportunity, we at Volvo of Burlingame could no doubt drone on for days about our esteemed Swedish automaker's latest full-size luxury sedan, the all-new 2017 Volvo S90. It's just that great.

However, since this approach isn't necessarily the most sensible one, we'd instead like to link the following video. Team up with our pals at Autotrader, as they take their maiden voyage in the stunning S90:

At the core of the entry-level T5 model, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine holds court with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Good for 250 horsepower and ...

You might not know it by name, but here at Volvo of Santa Monica, we bet you’re familiar with the iconic body shape of the Volvo 850 models. Launched in 1991 under the banner “A dynamic car with four world-firsts.” Last month celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Volvo 850, and we want to honor our roots with a look back at the model that reached for the stars.

Happy 25th Birthday To The #Volvo 850! https://t.co/bLa5Xd7Bbw @volvoautoitalia @volvocarsglobal

For those familiar with Polestar Performance, you know you can expect an awesome boost to performance and driving dynamics from its performance packages, known as Polestar Performance Optimization. Hot on the heels of offering this package to the Volvo XC90 last year, Polestar is bringing the same upgrades to two other models in Volvo’s top-of-the-line 90 range.

Volvo has been reinventing and reviving its image as a premium automaker for the past few years, reasserting itself as a very competitive force in this crowded market. Another way Volvo intends to grab part of the global market is with its small car strategy, which is focused on “a range of vehicles that combine bold exterior and interior design with industry-leading connectivity, [drivetrain] electrification and autonomous drive technologies.” Part of that strategy was unveiled on May 18th in the form of two new concept vehicles, the Volvo Concept 40 series.

An all-new Volvo XC90 is coming soon to dealerships, and it's redefining our idea of luxury. The above photo displays the grand interior of the XC90 Excellence, the top-tier trim level of the safest Volvo SUV of all time, which made a stunning appearance at the New York Auto Show this month.

There's no question that Volvo is at the forefront of developing the latest car technology. Its newest in-car delivery service is no exception.

"Following the successful trial of a new in-car delivery service, Volvo is ready to now offer it to customers," writes the staff at Motor Authority. Here's how it works:

If you've never previously considered owning a wagon, we at Volvo of Burlingame are eager to inform you: we possess one that just may change your opinion of the class entirely. And you'll find it in the form of the 2016 Volvo V60.

And if, for whatever reason, you're wondering why we feel as we do, we encourage you to give the following video review a gander. Join Autotrader reviewer, Jabari Jones, as he recounts some of the V60's very best qualities:
