Volvo car key models in focus would be the ones based on their new SPA vehicle architecture. In October 2017, Volvo successfully rolled off the first locally-assembled XC90.</p>

<p>The company also announced that new Volvo car models launched from 2019 onwards will either be fully electric or hybrids. As of 2018, Volvo has more than 20 dealerships across India.</p>

With a near-perfect score of 98 per cent in the Adult Occupant category, Euro NCAP has crowned the Volvo XC60 as 2017 Best in Class safety award. The Volvo XC60 performed the best in the Euro NCAP crash tests in 2017.

For its second generation, Volvo’s mid-size luxury SUV adopts the Swedish company’s latest design philosophy, and as a result sports striking design elements such as those ‘Thor’s hammer’ themed LED DRLs, and L-shaped tail lamps. Also standard are 10 spoke, 19-inch alloy wheels.

Volvo as a luxury car brand may not have had a strong presence in India in the past but over in the last two years, they have been working towards a paradigm shift. They got the ball rolling with the launch of the new XC90 in mid-2016 and followed it up with the first sports sedan S60 Polestar.
