The North American International Auto Show provided an American venue for our favorite Swedish automaker to debut their new Volvo Concept XC Coupe. The crowd was likely impressed and we know that the industry types were wowed as they bestowed two distinguished awards upon the stylish prototype.

The XC Coupe came away from the EyesOn Design ceremony with the Best Concept Car award and a nod for the Best use of Color, Graphics and Materials…

This is quite a claim to make, but it's one that we here at Volvo Marin are excited to say just may be true. Volvo recently released a new vide on its YouTube channel in which its new Concept XC Coupe is teased and we have to say we're completely blown away by it.

If you're interested in seeing what has our new Volvo team so ecstatic, be sure to give the…

At Swedish automaker Volvo, safety is paramount. That's why one of the first pieces of news we've received about the next-generation XC90 was that its safety features would be top of the line. Of course, that doesn't just extend to the 2015 iteration we should see sometime next year, but to the 2014 model, as well.

For years now, we here at Volvo Marin have been awfully envious of our friends in Australia. Not because of the kangaroos, not because of Men at Work, but rather because it's been home to the Volvo V60 Polestar. Lucky for us, our favorite automaker has heard our plight and will soon be sending this beauty Stateside.

The development of eco-friendly vehicles has been the common goal for a number of automaker's over the last few years. With this comes the development of efficient charging technology as well. This is why Volvo has recently conducted a study to try out a new wireless charging system, and we are excited to share with you the successful results.

By using inductive charging, the automaker performed the experiment on the electric version of its...

Our favorite Swedish automaker is at it again. Innovation at its finest, Volvo is onto something, this time in the electric vehicle category.

As we know, EVs have their benefits. It's an incredible option for those who are more conscious of our fragile environment, and we can't argue with the increased mileage they provide. However, there are some cons. For one, the weight of the batteries needed for EVs tends to be problematic…

Even after five years of his passing, Academy Award Winner Paul Newman left his mark in the world. He could make a great film come alive. He found a way to bring families together for dinner with Newman's Own salad dressing, pasta sauce, wine, and other food/drink while donating proceeds to charity. He also could make a power-thirsty Volvo.

Enter the Volvo 960 station wagon, a Newman creation.

Neman was a Volvo fan…

In mid-September, a 1966 Volvo PS1800 drove triumphantly along the Seward Highway in Alaska. This wasn't just an average drive. This was a three million-mile mark drive--a milestone only Irv Gordon has been able to achieve.

Gordon's journey is an unbelievable story of how he travelled the country for nearly 50 years in a trusty Volvo. His PS1800 gave him years of memories, discoveries, and time for contemplation. They're really a vehicle…

At Volvo Marin, we stand behind the Volvo brand and all the new Volvo, but we also stand behind when it's time to make a change. Volvo is ready to transform.

"When I joined Volvo a year ago," says Volvo Group head of design Thomas Ingenlath, "some people described Volvo's design as Vanilla. In other words, nice but not iconic or cutting edge. The vanilla days are over."¹

They sure are. We…

At Volvo Marin, we want you to be yourself. We make ourselves approachable because you should want whatever vehicle you like here in our Corte Madera, CA to be a reflection of your truest self. That's why we particularly liked this new Volvo "rearview" commercial.
