The stakes are particularly high for Volvo at the moment. Not just because the XC90 was so well received that it ousted all-comers to claim the 2016 Wesbank/SAGMJ SA COTY title – and the much-anticipated follow-up S90 is always more challenging following a big success – but also because...

Even Volvo, while revelling in XC90’s worldwide success, would have realised that although their car had broken much new ground, ultimately a 7-seater SUV was perhaps too cumbersome for most needs.  The Volvo S90 sedan brings everything that was class-leading about that 2016 South African Car of the Year...

Central to the Volvo S90 R-Design is an advanced sports chassis which provides a spirited, road-hugging drive. According to Björn...

Seated behind me in Volvo’s  XC90 T8 Twin Engine, one of the technical guys is goading me into unleashing the car’s hybrid power to the full extent. My mission is different; I’ve trimmed the consumption down to 1.2l/100km (yes, you read correctly) and to be honest I haven’t altered...

Although South Africa is only now getting to grips with the current Volvo S60 Polestar which made its local debut towards the end of 2015, a new 270kW version has been confirmed with 32 models headed our way. With such a limited number of models coming in Q3 of...
