Here at Byers Volvo, there's one popular model in our showroom serving Columbus, OH that's getting a refresh, and many new features that are sure to make it stand out, and solidify its reputation for being a reliable and popular ride among those who are looking for something that can handle a variety of needs.
We're talking about the Volvo XC70. The 2016 model year has many new features, and now comes…
Here at Byers Volvo, we love the fact that Volvo is out in front of the autonomous car driving technology, and by 2017 it will have 100 self-driving cars on the road in its home base of Sweden. So, how does it all work? Well, lucky for us they've put together a video detailing the process, and it lives up to its billing.
The vehicle will be able to drive on its own in…
The reasons why someone would own a classic car are wide-ranging. Sure, they vary from driver to driver, but we'd say that the consensus is that people do it for a love of the craftsmanship, because of a desire for road-going prestige or just as a car lover's project. But one reason we hadn't heard before is because it's easy to maintain. Most older vehicles simply aren't known for their…
Volvo had already made history once in 1959. Perhaps Volvo's biggest, and most lasting influences on the modern auto industry was the invention of the 3-point safety belt, also called the lap and shoulder belt.
This was a huge improvement of safety and driver comfort, and we still use the exact same design today.
1976 was another windfall year for Volvo.
First, Volvo introduced the world to the child booster cushion. Three-point safety belts…
Sweden isn't just captivating in the warm summer months; its winters are just as mesmerizing. Natural beauty and rugged dangers come together to form a jaw-dropping, heart-stopping frigid treat. Columbus is a ways away from Sweden, but the Swedish winters have still found their way to our home--and not upon a snowflake.
It's the Volvo XC70 and the perfect embodiment of all things Swedish winter. Winter's beautiful mystic is found wrapped around…
There's a lot you can say about the Volvo brand, and safety is usually the first thing drivers mention. While there's certainly no replacement for a safe and secure vehicle, there also isn't a suitable stand-in for a fun-to-drive one either. Sure, you don't want to take any risks when it comes to the unpredictability of the open road, but you also don't want to be bored on that road either. That's where Volvo has it all figured out.
The responsive yet controlled handling of its athletically-inclined models, like the 2015 Volvo XC60, puts…
A few months ago, we examined the Drive-E engine's implementation on a Volvo S60 model. The conclusion was that this powertrain offered plenty of power without sacrificing efficiency. Now, Volvo has revamped the engine's design to be even more powerful and has just released to specs to back up this claim.
The new Volvo High Performance Drive-E Powertrain Concept is equipped with two parallel turbochargers, which is powered by a third electric tubro0compressor…
When most people think of tractors, they generally don't think of speed. But that's only because they haven't seen the tractor in this video.
A few guys from the Swedish tire company, Vianor, modified a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier tractor and replaced some of its parts to make it fast and powerful. Watch the video to see what this thing can do.
They got rid of the tractor's original engine and…
No one likes stopping for gas. It's expensive and we have to do it way too often. However, Volvo's Drive-E engines are here to help. They make their vehicles super efficient so that drivers can spend less time at the gas station and more time getting to where they need to go.
In this video you can see a Volvo S60 Drive-E speeding right past a gas station. It has no reason to…
It's pretty clear that Volvo vehicles have progressed since they first hit the streets in 1927. Styles have been updated and technology has seriously advanced since then. So these cars must be totally different now, right? Not exactly. Yes, the technology has been updated and the style has changed, but the basis of these cars has always been safety and durability. That's something that will always stay the same.
Here at Byers Volvo…
