After a road trip in a 2 seater sports car, I would immediately be swapping that out for the much more sedate S90 R-Design. A let down some would say but after a cross-country cruise in what is effectively a 2 seater jetpack, it was nice to settle into...

This week, Volvo’s biggest seller locally, the XC60, was launched abroad and Volvo executives must be counting the weeks before its SA arrival. With sales of the XC90 and Volvo S90 not nearly as good as in Europe, the aging local XC60 is still outperforming its bigger, newer siblings....

As budgets tighten, the exchange rate continues to squeeze us with its deathly grip, and the rand leaches all value out of European imports, there’s never been a better time for a manufacturer to offer salvation; provide some form of guarantee that when the time comes to settle up...

Could you trust your car to drive itself at speeds up to 130kph? We’re not just talking Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) that’ll brake, accelerate and keep pace with a ‘lead’ car; we’re talking level two (out of five) autonomous capability – that ensures full semi-autonomy on the throttle, brakes...

Even Volvo, while revelling in XC90’s worldwide success, would have realised that although their car had broken much new ground, ultimately a 7-seater SUV was perhaps too cumbersome for most needs. The Volvo S90 sedan brings everything that was class-leading about that 2016 South African Car of the Year...

With just a few months left before the year ends, Swedish carmaker Volvo plans to end it with a boom by revealing the official pricing for the new flagship model, the S90, set to arrive in SA before the year ends. The executive sedan carries a starting price tag of...

Set to challenge BMW’s 7 series and Mercedes-Benz’s S-Class, Volvo’s S90 flagship sedan will be making its way to South African shores before the year ends with Volvo’s latest efficient powertrains and semi-autonomous driving. According to Greg Maruszewski, Managing Director at Volvo SA, the new S90 is a continuation...
