Polestar under Volvo Ownership

Image
Volvo Cars has acquired Polestar, the Swedish high performance car company, on July 14th.  Polestar will be used as the model name for special high performance Volvos.  Volvo and Polestar share a long history dating back to 1996.  Recently in 2013, Volvo and Polestar joined forces to produce a limited edition Volvos that combined a comfortable driving experience with a very high level of power and handling.  “Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience.  We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name of our high performance cars,” says Hakan Samuelsson, president and CEO of Volvo Cars.

The Re-Imagined Child Safety Seat Concept

Volvo Cars recently introduced their re-imagined Child Safety Seat Concept. This concept follows their Shanghai reveal of the XC90 Excellence and Lounge Console Concept—a passenger seat-less XC90 designed to create a sense of ‘first-class’ for the 2nd row passenger (image below of the XC90 Excellence and Lounge Console Concept). Now, Volvo has taken the Lounge Console Concept even further with the Child Safety Seat Concept. “We started by asking ourselves if we could make life easier for parents and safer for their children when it comes to the child seat experience. We focused on three key benefits—making it easier to get the child into and out of the child seat from an ergonomic and comfort perspective, providing the child with a safe rearward facing seating position that enables it to keep eye-contact with either the driver or the rear passenger and of course including enough storage for those vital child accessories, such as diapers, bottles, wipes, and so on,” said Tisha
