Volvo S90 R-Design Review
So busy are we buying hatchbacks and crossovers that the concept of having four doors and a boot feels like something that died with the Ford Cortina. But that didn't stop the Mercedes C-Class bursting into the top 10 sellers list this year to rub shoulders with the Ford Focus. And if all saloons were like the Volvo S90, we’d probably buy a lot more of them.
Volvo V90 Cross Country Review
Jacked-up estate cars can sometimes end up feeling like the poor relation; a last-ditch attempt to mop up a few niche sales with the promise of a suspension lift and some plastic cladding. However, it's a recipe Volvo have been perfecting since they created the V70 XC back in 1997. And, having spent a week a with it, I humbly submit that this latest Cross Country model, far from being the runt of the V90 range, is actually the pick of the bunch...
Volvo V90 Review
When Volvo launched the new V90, they did so with a series of rather stirring videos. There’s nothing unusual about that: we’re used to seeing images of the latest model pivoting from one sinuous corner to the next on an implausibly traffic-free road. But what Volvo did was more striking. Because the subject of the video wasn’t so much a car, as an entire country.

Volvo XC90 Review
Every now and then, a car comes along that embeds itself in automotive history, or redefines a market segment. Sometimes, heroes come from the most unlikely backgrounds, and I humbly propose that the Volvo XC90 has done more for road safety than most other cars in recent history. Previous seven-seaters expected you to load your off-spring into what was effectively the rear crumple zone, but Volvo fixed that with the first generation XC90 so comprehensively it remained in production for over a decade. So what challenge must the new XC90 meet?
