Volvo of Calabasas

Both the iPhone and iPad have helped simplify many things in our daily lives. With a touch of a button or downloading of an app on smartphones, we have access to a wealth of information quickly. That's why Volvo has developed three new apps designed to assist current Volvo drivers, aid those looking to learn more about new Volvo models, as well as offering a bit of fun too with the Volvo On Call , the Volvo S60 App, and the S60 Augmented Reality Driving Game apps, all of which are available at the iTunes Store.

Many drivers in Calabasas and beyond turn to the Volvo XC90 when searching for a vehicle with the right amount of luxury, interior cabin and cargo space to go along with outstanding safety features. It's been this way for quite some time, and while the XC90 has always delivered, the Scandinavian automaker felt it was time to give the trusted vehicle a major refresh for the 2013 model year, with a host of changes both interior and exterior.

In our previous post here on the Volvo of Calabasas blog, we outlined a new model that the Scandinavian automaker presented at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Known as the Volvo V40, it combines a few distinct elements from each of its siblings to form a four-door hatchback that we simply can't get enough of. But seeing as how the V40 isn't destined for U.S. shores in the near future, we thought…

When you come to Volvo of Calabasas, you'll find a wide range of new Volvo models ready to be taken for a test drive. Unfortunately, however, you won't find any of the Volvo V series of models, as they've been discontinued here in the United States, for the time being.

We say for the time being because Volvo has recently introduced a new V model that more closely resembles the Volvo C30…

Those of you who know Volvo know that safety is a top priority for the automaker. That's why we here at Volvo of Calabasas we were so happy to bring you word that a total of five new Volvo models had taken home IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) "Top Safety Pick" designations.

Currently, the 2012 Volvo S60 comes in three trims: T5, T6 AWD, and R-Design. While we love each one, we here at Volvo of Calabasas also know that there are more than a few entry-level luxury drivers who would love to take advantage of the all-wheel drive (AWD) platform that Volvo is so widely known for. And that's why the company recently went as far as to announce that a new 2012 Volvo S60…

If you frequent the Volvo of Calabasas blog, you may remember our post on the Volvo V60 Diesel Plug-In Hybrid. While it was nothing short of impressive, we were a bit disappointed to see that there were no plans for a U.S. release in the foreseeable future. Luckily, however, Volvo recently unveiled another plug-in hybrid at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, and this one is based on one of the company's…

The hybrid market may be an emerging one, but that doesn't mean that there can't be a firm bar set in place so early on in its existence. That happens to be exactly what Volvo is doing too, as the company releases a diesel plug-in hybrid variant of the V60 overseas. The new Volvo hybrid is gaining traction as one of the greenest vehicles in the world. Between its fuel-saving plug-in hybrid platform…

Volvo and Safety go together like peanut butter and jelly... The two simply complement each other in a way that we can't get enough of. Of course, it goes without saying that we here at Volvo of Calabasas are not alone in this sentiment either. Rather, drivers in the greater Calabasas area and beyond continue to turn to Volvo models for their ability to keep drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe.

Of course, we realize…
