Volvo Reviews and News

aria-label="Volvo logo new"Volvo is a Swedish automotive company that was founded in 1927. An independent car maker since 1935 (it was a subsidiary for eight years), it is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden.

In Australia, Volvo’s most popular models on sale are the XC60 and XC40 SUVs. Its XC90 large SUV is also quite popular, and Volvo only sells one sedan and wagon model in the range.

Volvo has already hit its target of ensuring all new vehicles are fully-electric or hybrid and is continuing to introduce more environmentally-friendly methods of car manufacturing. Above all, Volvo still has a strong focus on road safety.
