Connecting With The XC90
Connecting with Volvo XC90
There are lots of things that give Neo Zambas pleasure in life. But there are two pastimes that he particularly enjoys: travelling out to the suburbs to spend time with friends, and taking his bicycle out to his favourite bike track at North Avenue Beach. But in order to regularly enjoy these pastimes, he needs a car. You see, Neo lives in Chicago and sometimes in a big city you need a helping hand to stay connected with the things you love.
We invited Neo to take the all-new Volvo XC90 for a test drive, to see how it could help him stay in touch with his friends and make enjoying a day’s cycling easier than ever before. We even let him take his beloved bike along for the ride. Did the new XC90 help Neo stay connected with the Chicago life he knows and loves?
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 car collector, Andrew Vogel, and share in his passion for everything on four wheels. 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 Andrew Vogel
Andrew is Vice President of Klairmont Kollections in Chicago. When it comes to cars, he simply loves everything about them.
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.
Technology
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.
