Lovering Volvo in Concord

Volvo is always at the forefront of vehicle technology. In some cases, this means revamping new Volvo models with the latest automotive advancements. Other times, it means creating a whole new mode of transportation altogether. Recently, Volvo helped facilitate a development that falls under the latter of the two.

There's a lot we could say about the new 2012 Volvo S60. After all, the luxury sedan is ahead of its class in fuel-efficiency, acceleration and vehicle coverage. But for now, Lovering Volvo in Concord would like to talk about safety.

Once in a blue moon a model comes along that is truly a first. Lucky for Volvo lovers in the Concord area we have one of those vehicles to announce right now. Heard word of the Volvo V60 circulating the street buzz? Well, in case you haven't gathered up all the details yet, let Lovering Volvo in Concord assure you that it is going to generate some serious attention.

Volvo knows its consumers enough to understand what they want. On the flip side, the intuitive automaker can also recognize what they don't. One new Volvo vehicle that they've decided just won't fit into the U.S. market is the upcoming V40.

If you've been following our Lovering Volvo in Concord blog, then you're privy to the fact that, come 2013, our favorite automaker will cease production of the Volvo C70. Until that sad day comes, however, Volvo will continue to impress consumers with a final installment of the hardtop convertible. Named the C70 Inscription, the special edition model displays enthralling new developments.

Each and every new Volvo model already embodies high-tier performance and offers aggressive levels of power. Yet the automaker knows that such exhilarating models don't attract just any old consumer crowd. Like the brand they love, Volvo owners are thrill-seekers and live to push the limit. Therefore, in honor of its power-hungry followers, the automaker is offering up additional ponies.

Sometimes just knowing the automaker you trust is headed in the right direction is enough, even if it releases a model that won't be available here in the United States. This is exactly how Lovering Volvo in Concord feels about the release of the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid. A brainchild of the partnership between Volvo and Swedish energy supplier, Vattenfall, the new hybrid will debut in the European market next year.

Half a decade ago, Volvo started production of the Volvo C70 in Uddevalla, Sweden. As a joint venture between the automaker and Pininfarina S.p.a., the plant has displayed high-quality assembly and retained a team of well-skilled workers. However, in light of recent re-evaluations, Volvo will cease production in Uddevalla in 2013.
