In a May 18th press release, Volvo announced the unveiling of two new concept cars, marking the launch of its global small car strategy. The concept vehicles are called the 40 series, and they rely upon Volvo’s new Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), the first to be built atop the platform. CMA is specifically designed for smaller cars, and has opened up the creative space for engineers and designers to explore some bold new directions. In the video below, you can glimpse the handsome new concepts in the 40 series

We know the game of waiting for a package to arrive all too well -- that's if it's even delivered at all. In an effort to offer a solution to the package theft epidemic and provide a more timely service, Volvo has partnered with Urb-it -- a startup based in Sweden -- to offer a streamlined delivery service.

The Volvo XC90 is Motor Trend's 2016 SUV of the Year, but for anyone wanting a smaller, car-like crossover experience, the all-new Volvo XC60 gets high marks, particularly with the addition of all-wheel drive.

The exterior styling especially has aged well. Inside, you’ll find elegant Scandinavian styling cues. A chrome strip on the front doors seems to trace around in a spiral that terminates at the interior door handle. Natural wood, instead of heavily lacquered veneer, is found throughout as well. It’s classy, notes Motor Trend.

The big news though with the 2016 Volvo XC60 is...

The future must finally be here, because Volvo has announced plans for real-world autonomous driving (AD) technology testing to begin, with China being named as the locale. Volvo is seeking commuters who drive into the city via the highway, as the highway offers some relatively easy driving, with no stoplights or intersections to navigate. China has a small advantage over the United States when it comes to implementing this technology, as its legislative process is slightly more nimble than the United States’, making the application of relevant laws and regulation easier in China.

People bring back a lot of silly souvenirs when they travel abroad. Sombreros from Mexico? Sure. Olive Oil from Italy? Bring it on! Haggis from Scotland? Well, maybe not. But most of these things just sit in people's homes, never used once they return. Wouldn't it be nice to have a souvenir you'd actually use every day? Well, now you can!

There's a lot to say about the fully redesigned 2016 Volvo XC90. Designers and engineers sure had a large canvas to work with, considering its seven-passenger design, and they didn't spread their designs too thin. This large luxury crossover is exquisite inside and out, with contemporary curves, tasteful details, upscale maters and a well-appointed cabin.

And while you expect to be pampered in high-tech creature comforts with a luxury vehicle, the XC90 goes one step further and makes many of the standard features safety-oriented, like stability and traction control
