Dare to Drive with the Volvo V40 CrossCountry


In a daring program to show how confident Volvo is in the 2015 Volvo V40 CC, Volvo challenges car buyers to test drive and experience the new hatchback and compare it to its competitors. If, after putting the car through its paces and experiencing its uniquely class-leading delights, and clients still choose other compact premium hatchbacks over it, Volvo Philippines will gladly shoulder a free tank of fuel and wish you on your merry way.

Review: 2015 Volvo XC60 T5

Photos by Ulysses Ang
Everyone is familiar with Volvo’s sterling reputation for safety, and in recent times, for attractive design. Not too long ago, with the introduction of the all-new S60 sedan, Volvo even took a stab in injecting some so-called naughtiness into its machinery. And while all those adjectives are welcome, Volvo has never really caught on with the premium car buyer, despite some excellent offerings.
