Sweden

Volvo has long been known for the safety and reliability of their vehicles, but it wasn’t until the past decade that they’ve really stepped up their design game. Following in the footsteps of their stellar XC90, S90, V90, and XC60, Volvo is back with another winner – a vehicle that envelops the best of Swedish sensibilities in a single package.

Station wagons have become quite the anomaly here in America, and for damn good reason. The minivan surprise attack of the 1980s was quickly followed by an SUV punch, and once crossover and hybrid sales began to climb, the quintessential family mover of yesteryear appeared to be on its last leg at the turn of the millennium.

The folks at Volvo, when describing the interiors of their new modern cars like the S90, V90, and XC90, call it a ‘Scandinavian Sanctuary.’ It’s one of the many reasons why we love their luxury vehicles as much as we do.

Jaguar Land Rover recently launched a new program that lets fans of their vehicles experience them like never before – driving sideways on a massive ice-covered lake Northern Sweden – the same lake that car companies have been using for testing vehicles in the most extreme winter driving conditions since back in the 1970s.

Volvo has announced a cool new way for owners that subscribe to their Volvo On call service to shop. Similar to the Audi/Amazon Prime delivery service, purchases made at participating websites can be delivered directly to the trunk of a Volvo car.
