First there was the Volvo Concept Coupé, and it was very good. Now, or in a month or so later, we get to meet the second of three design studies that are based on the Swedish company's Scalable Product Architecture - it's the Volvo Concept XC Coupé. Before its world première on the 13th of January at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), here are some pictures and a video to get the main idea behind it. Volvo say that the purpose of this particular concept is to showcase how

Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition is one of the sportiest-looking Volvo’s ever produced. In addition, under the hood is where the true excitement begins, because there is placed the C30's standard 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine. As a matter of fact it had received a healthy performance upgrade done by Polestar - Volvo's official performance partner. The result is a boosted output by 23 horsepower and 37 lb.-ft. of torque to 250 hp (184 lb-ft) and 370 Nm (273 lb.-ft.). To go even

I have a beef with today's hybrids and electric vehicles. Its their batteries that get me. One does not even have to own a hybrid. Instead, simply observe how your cell phone acts throughout the years – the charge capacity is getting lower and lower, cold weather doesn't help at all and neither do the summer days. Now, imagine that in a car – driving along with 2 or more “bars” on the dials, no worry in the world, and then it all suddenly goes bust. Nerve wrecking. Happily however, Volvo are aw

Volvo has announced the new C30 with series-connected Range Extender. The car is based on a C30 Electric with a three-cylinder combustion engine producing 60HP (45 kW) installed under the rear load compartment floor. The car also has a 40 litre fuel tank. The combustion engine is connected to a 40 kW generator and the power it generates is used to drive the car's 111HP (82 kW) electric motor. However, the driver can also choose to let the generator charge the battery, thus increasing the car'

Volvo has just completed a number of brutal winter conditions tests with its Volvo C30 Electric vehicle, ensuring that the battery-powered ride runs smoothly in temperatures under -20 degrees Celsius. Volvo Cars believes that its newly developed C30 Electric must be as robust as all other models from the brand, and in order to achieve that, over 200 different tests have been performed by the C30 Electric. Lennart Stegland, director of Volvo Cars' Special Vehicles, stated: “We must ensure t

Volvo announced that they are currently working on a 5-door C30 model, which will be released in late 2011 or early 2012 to compete against the dominator on the market - VW Golf. The main misstake of Volvo is that they created only a 3-door version of C30, which by the way is awesome car offering great value for money. The interesting news is that the new model will be based on the current S40 and some features of C30 coupe, which Volvo derived from Ford's Focus platform. "We have to stop

Volvo announced another vehicle from their ECO-range – C30 DRIVe Electric, which will be delivered to testers later this year. The technical specifications only mention that the car is powered by electric motor supplied by a lithium-ion battery pack. The acceleration from 0 to 100km/h takes 10.5 seconds and the top speed is 130 km/h (81mph). The range will be 150km (93miles), so it will be enough for most European commuters, who travel less than that per day. More importantly, operating co
