Heritage
The estate car – eternal Volvo pedigree
If you ask car owners all over the world to choose a single word they associate most with an estate car, the answer is: Volvo. No other car manufacturer is as closely associated with this versatile car type.
Environment
A new lease of life
In 1945, Volvo Cars began renovating gearboxes in the small Swedish town of Köping. Today, our commitment to remanufacturing Volvo Genuine Parts is stronger than ever: which is good news for you, your car and the environment.
Environment
Travelling without a trace
Even though we might complain about the cold, our winter landscapes are extremely beautiful and valuable. Wouldn’t it be great if we could focus on protecting and enjoying them at the same time?

The race for perfection
In this article, we visit the Volvo Ocean Race Boatyard in Lisbon, Portugal. Here, we meet the team of experts responsible for repairing and re-fitting the entire fleet of Volvo Ocean 65 boats that will compete in the 2017-18 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race. We describe each team member’s individual area of expertise and show how the team works together to ensure that each boat is repaired identically, on time and to the highest possible standard. Their expertise in different areas represents the same level of competence you find at a Volvo workshop. We also meet Swedish sailor Martin Strömberg, who won the 2011-12 edition of the race, to find out what a great service programme gives him as a sailor.

Volvo Cars’ safety: a proud heritage
The safety vision that nobody will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car is the result of a dedication to saving lives that has been passed on from generation to generation of Volvo people since the company was founded in 1927.
Environment
The quietest place
Here at Volvo Cars, we're continually inspired by the Swedish landscape. Like Muttos - a national park in the far north of the country where the vast, sublime prehistoric forest becomes open to everybody.
Lifestyle
Wake up and get some sleep
We travelled to New York to discover how drivers stay alert behind the wheel in the city that never sleeps. Impaired reaction time, judgment and vision. These are just some of the effects of drowsy driving.
Lifestyle
Alchemy of leather
For more than thirty years, the interiors of Volvo cars have been graced with the finest leather from Bridge of Weir Leather Company in Scotland. Because behind every luxurious piece of Bridge of Weir leather, you’ll find over a century’s worth of craftsmanship, knowledge and expertise. In fact, many consider it to be the finest automotive leather in the world. Well, why else would it be in your Volvo?
Technology
That’s infotainment
CarPlay takes the functions and apps you’re familiar with from your iPhone and makes them conveniently available via the centre display in your Volvo. Siri voice control even takes care of your SMS messages, so your attention stays safely on the road ahead.
