Welcome to my no reserve auction for my 2001 Volvo V70 XC. I've had this car for about a year and bought it to repair and use as my main car. I'm having a baby which has changed my time and financial priorities away from this vehicle, so now it's for sale. Most of the nice features are functional, aside from those listed. The AC blows cold, heater is warm. The bulbs in the headlight control panel and climate control unit were replaced with blue and/or red LED bulbs. I believe this was tastefully done and does not take away from the driving experience. Heated/power seats work great. Dual climate control is awesome. Power windows work with auto up/down functioning appropriately. The floor mats are aftermarket but look good. There is also a matching mat for the rear hatch compartment, which is in the pictures. The rear seats can fold completely flat. Also included is the rear cargo cover. The windows are tinted and should be legal in most states. One window has a poor tint job. Cosmetic imperfections were photographed. The driver's side fog light is broken. All imperfections were photographed and described to the best of my ability, but there may be other minor ones not shown here due to the nature of a high mileage car. The glove box stop is broken, so it swings wide open. The auto dim mirror is permanently dimmed, reducing visibility. The transmission has serious shifting issues, ranging from flaring between shifts to very hard up and downshifts. Sometimes, it shifts well. The check engine light is on for the transmission solenoid (2-3 If I'm not mistaken.) The engine has not really given me any issues, but does make a hissing sound when under load. It burns a quart of oil every few tanks of gas, more when driven hard. The suspension is worn out and needs replacement and the car does vibrate when driving. The AWD system works. Two sets of keys are included. Clean title. Radio works, No CD function though .Brakes are very strong and smooth. ABS works. The car has recently received a new upper (polyeurethane [pictured]) and lower (factory spec) transmission mounts. Spark plugs were changed around 10k miles ago. The serpentine belt (pictured) seems to be quite new, and the timing belt was inspected (by me) and appears to have been serviced recently, but I cannot officially say that these belts were changed because I have no proof. I will update this listing with any other known issues, as I am trying to give a complete picture to the buyer. The bottom line is that the car needs TLC, maybe a powertrain swap, but has been driven by me for approximately 10,000 miles with no apparent worsening of the conditions listed. That being said, there are no warranties or promises associated with the sale of this vehicle. Please ask any questions before bidding. Due to my job, I am not always in town and may require some patience from the buyer to complete the transaction. If buyer arranges shipping, This shouldn't be an issue.

Volvo adds 48V hybrid system to a bunch of 2022 models

Sun, Aug 1 2021

In 2019, Volvo announced an updated powertrain fitted with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. The integrated starter-generator and regenerative brake-by-wire refilling a small battery could increase fuel economy by up to 15% in real-world driving. There are three layouts, dubbed B4, B5, and B6 that the Swedish automaker's already been rolling out globally. Next year two of them, the B5 and B6, come to the U.S. for the first time under the 2022 Volvo S60, S90, V90 XC, and XC60. The EPA's fuel economy site shows all of those models making small fuel economy gains, too. The B4 and B5 powertrains contain both gas and diesel mild-hybrids, the B6 is gas-only. All of the gas options (Volvo doesn't offer diesels here) will start with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, the B5 adding a turbocharger, the B6 adding a turbocharger and a supercharger. Per the EPA, the front-wheel drive 2021 Volvo S60 returns 23 miles per gallon in the city, 34 on the highway, and 27 combined. The new 2022 Volvo S60 B5 betters that with 26 city, 35 highway, and 30 combined. The 2022 S60 B5 AWD bests the 2021 model with the both versions of the non-hybrid 2.0-liter engine by one to three miles per gallon in nearly every category. The only model that does better, for obvious reasons, is the 2021 S60 AWD PHEV, which has been renamed S60 T8 AWD Recharge. The 2022 Volvo XC60 comes in AWD B5 spec with the turbocharged 2.0-liter, and AWD B6 spec with the turbo- and supercharged 2.0-liter. Gains are smaller here, the EPA showing a one-mpg increase in the city when comparing the 2021 XC60 to the 2022 B5 model. With the B6 powertrain, the 2022 XC60 improves by one mpg in the city and combined compared to the 2021 model. The EPA site doesn't show a front-drive XC60 for next year, and the XC60 AWD PHEV is already referred to as the XC60 T8 AWD Recharge. It's possible horsepower ratings will change slightly for the mild-hybrid rigs next year, but not enough to change the driving experience. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Volvo won't go after S-Class, 7 Series market

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Volvo vice president of powertrain engineering, Derek Crabb, recently said that the Swedish automaker is developing smaller and smarter powertrain options that will "turn V8s into dinosaurs" - a statement that could have been our first indication that Volvo is no longer looking to create a luxury flagship sedan to take on German land yachts like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series. Now Automotive News seems to be backing this up after speaking with CEO Hakan Samuelsson, who said that a big sedan wouldn't fit the brand's green image and, more importantly, might not even be a car that its customers would even consider.
Rather than trying to compete in a small, established market against rear-drive, 12-cylinder sedans, Volvo is looking at the emerging, higher-volume premium small car segment to take on its German rivals with the all-new Volvo V40 (shown above). Not wanting to abandon the big-vehicle segment altogether, a next-generation XC90 is due out within the next couple years (and was spotted in some recent spy shots), and it will ride on the new Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA), which will be shared with the new S80 according to the AN article.

Volvo opens order books for XC90 First Edition

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

The new Volvo XC90 breaks new ground in any number of ways. It's based on a new modular platform, packs new engines, introduces a new design language and incorporates a whole slew of new safety systems. Even in its sales approach, it takes Volvo into new territory.
In what Volvo calls an industry first, the first 1,927 examples of the new XC90 will be sold online. Those First Edition models, whose production numbers honor the year of the company's founding, will come fully equipped in T6 AWD guise with the twin-charged (but not hybrid) 316-horsepower engine, air suspension, Bowers & Wilkins audio system and 21-inch Inscription alloys, decked out in black with a tan Nappa leather interior, all for $65,900.
As you can see from the online store, ordering has officially begun. Get one while they're hot.
