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.

Next-generation drivers

For the last hundred years, we’ve had a simple view of cars – we drive them, they don’t drive us. But with autonomous drive technology, this is about to change.

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.
