2000 Volvo V40 Wagon Wow!! 4 Cyl Turbo L@@ks Runs Drives Gr8 I Bet You Buy This! on 2040-cars
Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States
hi and thnx. ok, ok... I do happen to like Volvos. we have had 240's, 850's, a V70 or two, and yes... I had an S80 sedan for 3 years, loved it. but, hey... this smaller version of the V70 is like a pleasant surprise !! it is 85% in size, of my old V70 1998 wagon, the same engine (less one cylinder, total 4 here) and it DOES have the cool turbo assist. guess what? this car is a winner. I like the slightly more trim size for me and my family, the economy is better and should approach 30 MPG, the turbo works like a dream and gives you bigger car oomph and great, solid performance.
you really do know, right away, that you are in a semi-premium European car with an excellent engine, great power to weight, FWD and classy lines. what is wrong with that? just because you want a great car cheap on eBay (and I want to sell), no shame to your game here ~!~ fine, tough and strong VOLVO build quality, nice package, great ride and full comfort with great features. drive safe and sound; around town or blasting down the highway on a commute or weekend romp... this car does it all in fine fashion, look great, drive smart and enjoy the ride !@!
bright and shiny paint and panels, leather, power seats, stereo, cold a/c, great heat, power locks, ABS, airbags, moon-roof, correct factory alloy wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, low-boost turbo ( power and economy ), like new rubber, full gauges, power windows, mirrors, cruise and more. all full function and the car runs great.
but, this is an older car and not perfect. drivers seats has some split stitching (still comfy), there may be a small bump or scuff, factory mats are missing, no cargo cover that I see. please see all photos, I took all the good and bad shots I could. near ding, dent and scratch free, this svelte black wagon looks and rides fine. no rust, no damage, nothing broke or busted.
car is as shown and at my house. why not bid, buy and drive it to your home?? stop by anytime, or just call and email... happy to help ~!~

2015 Volvo XC90 is the Swedish future
Tue, 26 Aug 2014It's been months since the Concept XC Coupe debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, Volvo's last show car previewing its all-new 2015 XC90. But the production model is finally here after years of development, and it signals the future of the Swedish automaker with its Scalable Product Architecture modular platform and cutting-edge new engine family.
The 2015 XC90 carries all-new styling, but is still familiar up front, with the company's logo slashing diagonally through its prominent, upright grille. Like the concept, it carries T-Shaped LED running lights through the headlights. The company calls them the "Thor's Hammer" design, an evocative designation that we think is fantastic. Under that new front end is a choice of two quite powerful, but very efficient powertrains. The standard XC90 gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged engine with all-wheel drive making an impressive 316 horsepower. Or if buyers want to be a little greener and more powerful, there is the XC90 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid with the same engine, albeit augmented with an electric motor to produce a staggering 400 hp.
The exterior styling is crisp, if not quite as sensual as Volvo's latest concepts, but we think the interior is the real star here, with a dashboard that looks like it came out of a Herman Miller catalog and a unique vertically oriented infotainment screen integrated into its center stack, perhaps taking a cue from Tesla. If the cabin feels as good as it looks, we think a lot of sales are going to be won inside.
Next-generation Volvo XC90 interior revealed
Tue, 27 May 2014Volvo has officially kicked off the slow burn that will lead to the eventual unveiling of the next-generation XC90, in August. Its initial foray into the public eye will be with these, a series of 20 images of the new three-row SUVs interior, which is very, very Swedish (there are even the most adorable little Swedish flags on the seats).
In all, it looks like a positively sumptuous place to sit, with sharp looking woods and a crystal shifter, crafted by Orrefors Glassworks in Sweden. It's a clean, minimalist design that we imagine will age quite nicely.
Featured quite prominently - and the main part of the cabin that doesn't strike us as minimalist - is the very large touchscreen. Aligned in a portrait layout, which hasn't been done by too many automakers, it will be home to a new type of infotainment system that will make its debut in Volvo's flagship SUV. It also looks like we can expect digital gauges when the XC90 finally arrives.
Volvo building new AstaZero safety proving ground in Sweden
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Volvo is an automaker committed to vehicle safety, setting an ambitious target for itself: by 2020, the Swedish automaker envisions that no one will be killed or seriously injured in one of its cars. In order to achieve that goal, Volvo has announced a new proving ground designed specifically to test safety solutions.
Called AstaZero, the new facility near the company's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is the result of a $70 million investment. It will cover some 500 acres, with over 60 acres of pavement, four city blocks and three and a half miles of highway. The Active Safety Test Area (the ASTA in AstaZero) will enable Volvo and its partners (including Scania trucks as well as government bodies and university development programs) to simulate city streets, highways, rural roads, roundabouts, T-junctions and more, combining traffic from cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and even animals in order to account for all manner of potential hazards.
The facility will enable Volvo to test active safety systems and autonomous vehicle operations, and even allow robots to test its prototypes in an adaptive environment that aims to be more flexible than existing proving grounds.
