Appreciating the XC90
Appreciating the XC90
For Andrew Vogel, cars have been a life-long passion. Today, Andrew is Vice President of Klairmont Kollections, which houses hundreds of outstanding classic cars – from an original 1930’s Duesenberg to a 1918 Pierce Arrow. So, when it comes to cars, it’s safe to say Andrew knows what he’s talking about. But what would this passionate car collector make of the new Volvo XC90? We invited Andrew to take the XC90 for a test drive. So, what was the verdict? Did Andrew feel the XC90 was worthy of a place in his collection?
Meet our friends from Chicago
To get a glimpse of the city, and to get to know the XC90 even better, watch our films where we meet some of Chicago’s residents. Meet Angela Carter-Rhoades, who guides us through the Chicago streets she calls home. Travel to the beach with Taylor and her dog Harlow, who spend a lot of time in the car as Harlow just loves life on the road. And finally, meet Leah who spends her time on the lookout for exciting new outdoor adventures. She took us to Maggie Daley Park for a quick course in bouldering.
Meet Angela Carter-Rhoades
Angela was raised on the west side of Chicago, but has lived in different parts of the city. Come along as she guides us through her Chicago, whilst simultaneously managing her business from the driver’s seat.
Meet Taylor and Harlow
Taylor is a dog-owner, blogger and comedian who moved to Chicago from Nebraska five years ago. If she doesn’t make it as a comedian Taylor says she’ll become a truck driver, as her dog Harlow loves life on the road. We meet up with Taylor and Harlow and head out to Montrose Harbor Dog Beach.
Meet Leah
“Although Chicago’s a big city, it offers so many great opportunities for outdoor activities. Mountain climbing, cycling, kayaking. It’s all possible here,” says outdoor enthusiast, Leah, as she shows us around the Chicago she calls home.
Collaboration
Bound by sound
1966 was quite a year for music. The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Bob Dylan all released groundbreaking albums that completely transformed the cultural landscape. But while Lennon and McCartney and their contemporaries were busy reinventing the way music was made, a classical music enthusiast called John Bowers was focusing his attention and expertise on reinventing the way we listened to it.

The art of comfort
With the release of the all-new XC90, Volvo Cars introduced a thrilling, thoroughly modern take on the concept of Scandinavian luxury. Here was a car where innovative design features effortlessly integrated with natural materials to create a luxurious interior, which was as comfortable as it was eye-catching. Now, with the release of the new Volvo S90, Volvo V90 and Volvo XC90 Excellence, our designers have kept their focus on luxury and wellbeing and used it to turn the concept of in-car comfort into an art form.

Connectivity In Berlin
After travelling the world for 12 years, Cologne-born entrepreneur Gundula Cöllen decided it was time to return to Germany and reconnect with her homeland. And when it came to choosing a city in which to settle down in and start up a new business, she only had one place in mind – Berlin.
