The Volvo Ocean Race Commences In 2017

Image
The Volvo Ocean Race is known for being the toughest, longest, most prestigious sporting event in the world.  Over 45,000 nautical miles are traveled at sea in the 9-month race to victory.  Last month, Volvo announced the 2017-2018 Volvo Ocean Race route.  Many believe it is the toughest route in the 43-year history of the race. Four oceans will be crossed to take in 11 major cities on five continents. “This year, around 12,500 nautical miles of the race will be in the Southern Ocean, the fast-moving, ice cold waters around the Antarctic where, unhindered by land, some of the deepest weather depressions generate giant waves and heavy winds that can peak over 130 km/h,” Volvo Cars’ official press release states. How does this strenuous sailing race relate to Volvo Cars? President and chief executive of Volvo Cars, Hakan Samuelsson simply states, “The Volvo Ocean Race is tough and prestigious. So are we.” Volvo Cars acquired the competition in 1997, linking its own tradition of en

S90 Reviews Are Rolling In

Image
Making its debut one year after the award-winning 2016 Volvo XC90 launch, the S90 sedan has been receiving a lot of attention by car enthusiasts around the world.  Online reviewers are in agreement--the all-new 2017 Volvo S90 is an inspiring, luxurious, one-of-a-kind sedan. Here is a collection of recent S90 online reviews: “This new Volvo sedan is a luxury car, a genuinely credible alternative to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, and Audi A6. Oh, and Jaguar XF and Lexus GS, too... The S90 quietly blazes its own trail in everything from design to powertrain to the way it rides and handles. On first acquaintance the Volvo S90 is a uniquely appealing luxury sedan, and not just because it’s different, but because it’s good at being different.””  –Motor Trend "It’s clear that Volvo hasn’t been restrained by expectations of what the S90 should be. That’s resulted in a genuinely stylish, different, and rather enchanting new sedan."  -Motor Authority "The S9

Motor Trend Volvo S90 First Review

Image
The All-New Volvo S90 reviews are rolling in and they are nothing short of amazing.  Motor Trend published their first S90 drive review on June 3rd titled, “Look out Germany, Here Comes Sweden.” Motor Trend writer, Angus Mackenzie, makes it clear that the Volvo S90  is  in-fact a competitive luxury sedan.  “This new Volvo sedan is a luxury car, a genuinely credible alternative to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, and Audi A6. Oh, and Jaguar XF and Lexus GS, too.” Exterior--Motor Trend Review: “That confidence and elegance is reinforced by taut exterior surfaces and a handful of crisply defined character lines. The C-pillar rakes dramatically down to the trunk, stretching the greenhouse and visually reducing the height of the roof, giving this three-box sedan an almost coupe-like profile. The concave vertical elements of the bold grille are a subtle homage to the 1972 Volvo P1800’s front end, and dramatically geometric taillights emphasize the S90’s width.”   Interi

Happy Earth Day from Lehman Volvo

There is no doubt that safety is a Volvo core value; when thinking of Volvo, safety immediately comes to mind. But did you know, another Volvo core value is environmental care? Environmental care influences all Volvo operations.  Volvo envisions it all...between their efficient and less polluting Drive-E powertrain, to the air inside a Volvo, which is cleaner than that outside air thanks to Volvo's climate control system.  Most recently, Volvo has debuted the all-new 2016 XC90 T8 Plug-in-Hybrid---the first hybrid luxury SUV to be powered by gas, electric energy and  other cars .  Take a look at Volvo's unique XC90 T8 campaign: Here are just  some  of many environmental firsts from Volvo: 1945  Volvo introduces re-manufactured spare parts - an exchange system still in use 1976  Three-way catalytic converter with oxygen sensor (Lambdasond ® ) removes up to 90% of noxious exhaust fumes.
