2004 Ruby Red Volvo V70 5 Cyl 2.4 Wagon 4d - Good Condition - Don't Miss! on 2040-cars
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
Place your bid now on this well-loved 2004 Volvo Wagon! The car has 131K miles on it, which for Volvos, means it is just now being broken in! There are easily another 100K it can deliver. The car drives as well as it did the day it was purchased. It has survived Massachusetts winters, Texas summers, Manhattan parking, rutted farm roads and two dogs with ease. The interior is admittedly well-worn, but there are no tears in the leather. It’s just worn, and in the back, shows signs of wear from the dogs. The headliner is in great condition and all interior parts work perfectly. In 2014, the factory radio was replaced with a Bluetooth-Nav-touchscreen unit to make the car safer on the road. The original cargo cover is included and in great condition. (I just had it removed for moving artwork and forgot to put it back before I snapped photos.) Mechanically, the car has been maintained at regular intervals at Fort Worth’s Volvo Clinic. In 2013, the brakes were replaced and the car had a comprehensive overhaul before making its most recent road trip to Alabama. Like any old Volvo though, you do have to always keep oil on hand and watch your fluids. The exterior has several good scratches and nicks that have never been fixed, but would be easy to for the motivated buyer. Pictures are included. I can’t say enough good things about this member of the family. It would make a great car for a new driver, a household helper or student off to college. Safe, reliable and now with the conveniences of today’s technology! CLEAR TITLE, RUST-FREE, NON-SMOKER To view an album of photos on Dropbox, please visit: http://ow.ly/yVQo7 POWERTRAIN

Volvo to test 100 self-driving cars on Swedish roads [w/video]
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being tested on public roads around the globe, including Nissan in Japan and Google here in the US, and now Volvo is preparing to test its own self-driving cars on the streets of Sweden. In conjunction with the state government, Volvo's Drive Me project kicks off next year, starting with the development of customer research and infrastructure technology before setting 100 self-driving cars loose on the streets of Gothenburg in 2017.
These 100 cars will be in the hands of customers, and the tests will help Volvo and the Swedish government track varying aspects of self-driving cars including economic benefits, consumer confidence, traffic flow and passenger safety. The technology being developed by Volvo uses not only on-board radar and sensors but also map data gathered from the cloud, and it controls all driving systems including the brakes, throttle and steering. Drivers can engage and disengage the car's autonomous drive mode by pushing a button on the steering wheel, and the technology will also allow for a self-parking feature.
While the cars shown in this demo are S60 models, the test vehicles will be based on Volvo's upcoming Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which underpins future models like the next-gen Volvo XC90. Scroll down for a video and press release marking the announcement.
Volvo promises new direct-injected diesels, 8-speed auto
Tue, 09 Apr 2013As a part of eliminating its dependence on Ford platforms and powertrains, Volvo has previously announced information about its Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) and Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA), but now we're finally getting some details about what will power some of the Swedish automaker's next-generation products.
The biggest key to VEA on the diesel engines is a new technology Volvo calls i-ART. This system uses unique injectors at each cylinder capable of monitoring fuel pressure and adjusting accordingly to maximize fuel economy and performance and reduce emissions. Looking ahead, Volvo says its four-cylinder engines will be able to offer the power of a six-cylinder and eventually, mixed with some sort of electrification, will be able to rival the performance of a V8 and "turn V8s into dinosaurs."
More details about the new diesel injection technology is posted in the press release below.
US could get Chinese Volvos soon, possibly Geely joint-venture subcompact?
Tue, 28 Jan 2014After a little more than three years since Volvo was acquired by China's Geely, it was only a matter of time before products from this marriage started to show up in the US. Although nothing seems to be written in stone, Automotive News is reporting that the US could be getting Chinese-made Volvos sooner rather than later.
In speaking with AN, Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said that Chinese Volvos could be exported to the US "fairly quickly," and while there was no word on any specific models being considered, the article points out that the S60 (shown above) is already being produced locally in China at a Volvo plant. Another possibility is the next-gen V40, which has reportedly received plenty of support from US Volvo dealers. Regardless of which model it is, Samuelsson doesn't seem too worried about a "Made in China" car receiving a negative reaction by US consumers, pointing to all the other Chinese products sold here.
On a global scale, AN is also reporting that Geely is working on a new subcompact platform co-developed with Volvo to compete against cars like the Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta and VW Polo. There is no word as to whether or not this Geely-branded model would be coming to the US, but just last year, we heard that the Chinese automaker is looking to break into the US market by 2016.
