Just a year after the Volvo XC90 SUV went home with top honors in the form of the 2016 North American Truck/Utility of the Year, the all-new 2017 Volvo S90 has been named a finalist for the 2017 North American Car of the Year award. Our team at Dyer & Dyer Volvo has been impressed with this refreshed model since its first day in our Chamblee, GA showroom, with its impressive pair of turbocharged and supercharged 4-cylinder powertrains and advanced focus on semi-autonomous safety features.

For those in the Chamblee area with an eye on reliable driver safety technologies, Volvo has continued to prove their strength as premium choice for semi-autonomous enhancements. With the all-new Volvo XC60, to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, drivers can experience automatic steering assistance and support in the form of the updated City Safety, Oncoming Lane Mitigation, and Blind Spot Information System - all of which go to great lengths in order to ensure their safety.

When thinking about the Volvo brand, several words coming to mind. For most people, these words probably include "safety," luxury," and "wagons." That's right, wagons. With more than six decades of wagon heritage behind it, Volvo is preparing to launch the much-anticipated Volvo V90 wagon in the United States later this year. Making its North American debut at the 2017 North American International Auto...

Has the midsize luxury sedan segment been calling your name?

Well, if so, we here at Dyer & Dyer Volvo Cars would be positively delighted to introduce you to ours, the all-new 2017 Volvo S90.

And what is it that makes this particular four-door so special?

Allow Kelley Blue Book Managing Video Editor Micah Muzio to offer up his expertise. His assessment of the S90 is available in the clip below:

It's darn-near impossible to deny the allure of an entry-level engine like the S90's. Served standard with the base T5 trim, this 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder produces a…

Volvo and Uber recently announced a deepening of the alliance between the two companies as the ride-sharing technology prepares to expand its self-driving pilot to San Francisco. The pilot will include specially converted self-driving Volvo XC90 premium SUVs.

In August 2016, Volvo and Uber established a jointly-owned project to build base vehicles that can be used to develop fully autonomous driverless cars. Initial testing took place in Pittsburgh, PA. For the San Francisco project, Uber purchased the XC90 SUVs from Volvo and outfitted them with its own self-driving hardware and...

The 2017 Volvo S60 features only minor changes from last year, and continues to be a high-quality compact luxury sedan that's tuned more for comfort than sport, although the available engine options and torque vectoring make it a satisfying experience behind the wheel. Steve Hammes, auto critic for TestDriveNow, likes the S60 very much and calls it fun to drive - on the forgiving side but not at all sloppy, and certainly among the most comfortable rides in its class.

The S60 T5 Dynamic and T5 Inscription (the latter features a longer wheelbase and more room for rear seating) come…

Volvo's all-new S90 sedan has enabled the Swedish automaker to rethink the luxury sedan concept from the ground up, and the result is a graceful exterior design, a spacious and functional interior and a relaxed but "in-command" feeling from behind the steering wheel. In its new review, The Car Connection praises the look as clean and uncluttered - definitely Scandinavian in feeling.
