Volvo Isn't Done With Wagons
Could an All-Electric Wagon Be Coming in the Future?
Volvo has been in the automotive industry for quite some time and is known for its commitment to safety and innovation. One of the biggest things Volvo is working on is the transition to becoming a fully-electric brand by 2030. Despite the recent focus on crossovers, the Swedish brand still hasn't forgotten about wagons. They are rumored to have plans to bring an all-electric wagon into production, allowing them to merge their heritage with modern technology and eco-focused decisions. Let's take a look at what we know!
While other brands, such as Mercedes, seem to be shifting away from wagons, with talks of discontinuing them altogether, Volvo believes the time for wagons isn't over yet.
Volvo's Head of Strategy and Program Management, Erik Severinson, said, "Some of our competitors have moved away from this kind of car, but we still see a strong market for it."
Warren Davidson, Head of Global Offer, also spoke about the importance of wagons for Volvo. "SUVs are extremely important to us, but they're not the only part of what we do. We've done beautiful wagons for years," he said. "Without being specific about future products, I'm really excited." While we can only speculate on what's to come, we are confident in the future of Volvo and share that same excitement.
Although we don't have much to go off of yet, Volvo cares about continuing to make cars that are true to the brand and excite drivers while also focusing on practices and models that help improve the world.
If you are in the market for a new Volvo, contact us at Keystone Volvo Doylestown. We are happy to help you find a ride that will excite you, suit your lifestyle, and keep you safe. Whether you're searching for a wagon, an SUV, or something else, we are here to put you in a car you love! We hope to see you soon.

The car's aesthetic blends luxury and earthiness, portraying nature-inspired elements such as a cool breeze and the night sky. Experience a respect for nature every time you hit the road.
A Powerful Ride

Its energy consumption is as low as 26.5kWh on the single motor and 27.1kWh on the twin motor.
High-Tech Features Make for an Upgraded Drive
The model has many driver assistance features to keep you safer on the road and make your life a little easier.

Revolutionary Technology: A Look at the 2024 Volvo EX90's SunLike LED Lighting
Brightening Up the Road Ahead!
Volvo has always been a leader in automotive technology, and the latest model, the EX90, is no exception. Today, we will highlight its incredible new LED lighting system powered by SunLike LED lighting from Korean firm Seoul Semiconductor. From providing more natural light to minimizing eye strain and headaches, this lighting system will revolutionize how we drive.
SunLike LED lighting was used in various applications before being integrated into the Volvo EX90. These lights were first introduced to the commercial market in 2017 and have been used in places such as museums, schools, and hospitals.
The Volvo EX90 is a true masterpiece in automotive engineering, and its SunLike LED Lighting System takes that excellence to the next level. Drivers will fully appreciate the craftsmanship and care that went into the EX90's interior design, from the wood to other natural elements.
The SunLike LED Lighting System in the Volvo EX90 is designed to provide drivers with a significantly improved lighting experience while on the road. The natural light emitted by these lights reduces eye strain, leading to fewer headaches. We believe driver comfort and well-being can impact overall driving performance, and we aim to further promote happiness and safety on the road with this lighting system.
The EX90 features 72 SunLike LED lights throughout the interior, creating a stunning and sunny display that rivals any other car in its class. By combining an illusion of natural light with modern technology and design, Volvo has created an unparalleled driving experience. If you're looking for a car that will brighten up your life on the road, then you should consider the Volvo EX90.
We can't wait for drivers to get behind the wheel in early 2024. If you want to learn more about the Volvo EX90 or another Volvo model, contact us at Keystone Volvo Doylestown!
Volvo Has Always Promoted Safety and Innovation
A Journey Through the Past
Here at Keystone Volvo Doylestown, we are thrilled to be part of the Volvo Cars legacy. The brand has a long history, and today, we will look at the history of Volvo Cars to see where we came from, where we are, and where we are going.
In 1927, Volvo was born. The brand started because the founders believed no one was making cars strong or safe enough for Swedish roads. If you are familiar with the Volvo brand, you know we've continued to emphasize safety. The first Volvo car, the ÖV4, debuted on April 14, 1927. The model was an open tourer, meaning it did not have a fixed roof and featured a four-cylinder engine.
Then, 1944 brought further innovation for Volvo, as "the little Volvo" debuted in Stockholm and helped the brand expand to the international market. The PV444 was unveiled during WWII and symbolized hope post-war. Volvo's customer magazine, Ratten, referred to the PV444 and the PV60 as "Volvo's doves of peace." While the PV60 was designed before the war, production was initially delayed due to WWII. The PV444 was Volvo's first smaller car and their first car with a monocoque body, meaning the vehicle's body is integrated with the chassis.
The Volvo Duett hit the scene in 1953 and was promoted as "two cars in one," meaning it was appropriate for work and leisure. This was the beginning of the Volvo brand's legacy of practicality.
Volvo finally made its way to the United States in 1955, as the first PV444 was brought to Long Beach, California, in August of that year. Despite initial skepticism, Volvo soon became the second-biggest import brand in California.
We briefly touched on Volvo's association with safety. This can be seen through the invention of the three-point safety belt developed by Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin in 1959. Because Volvo values safety so much, the brand waived its patent rights for the greater good of all drivers. Since then, it's estimated that this invention has saved over one million lives! Volvo's safety expertise was confirmed even further in 1976 when the U.S. government crash-tested 24 of the Volvo 240, which resulted in the brand being dubbed a benchmark for safety standards.
In 1991, Volvo made waves with the Volvo 850, which had not one, not two, but four world firsts. These were a transverse five-cylinder engine, the Side Impact Protection System, self-adjusting belt reels for the front seat, and Delta-link rear suspension. In addition, this was the first larger Volvo to feature front-wheel drive.
Jumping ahead to the more recent past, in 2019, Volvo released its first fully electric SUV, the XC40 Recharge P8, which was based on the popular XC40. This was a massive step for Volvo, and the brand will continue to expand its electric lineup as we move toward a fully-electric future.
This is a brief overview of Volvo's impressive history. The Volvo legacy represents safety and innovation; we are proud of where we started and where we are heading. If you want to learn more about our models, contact us or schedule a test drive at Keystone Volvo Doylestown. We are happy to have you as a part of the Volvo family, and we look forward to assisting you in selecting a suitable model for you!
Volvo Vehicles Are Award-Winning
Check Out These Awesome Rides!
Here at Volvo, we love making beautiful and innovative vehicles. So, of course, we aren't the only ones with a positive view of our brand. Car and Driver recently awarded various vehicles "Editor's Choice."
Car and Driver conducted a thorough testing process to determine the winners based on multiple data points. This testing and driving impressions rate each model in its segment. The models that made the cut make up about the top quarter of the market. Let's take a look at why these models earned this honor.
Volvo SUV Winners
Luxury SUV winners include the Volvo XC40, XC60, and XC90. The XC40 was praised for its design, functional cabin, and technology. Car and Driver noted the XC60 featured "Sleek Scandinavian styling" and referred to the model as having a "unique take on luxury." The XC90 earned applause for its design, with the XC90 Recharge being commended for its quick acceleration.
Volvo Wagon Winners
Volvo winners in the luxury wagon department include the Volvo V60 Cross Country and the V90 Cross Country. The V60 Cross Country earned acclaim for the exterior and interior styling and the Polestar engineering, allowing the model to perform highly in speed and efficiency. Car and Driver even added that the V60 and V60 Cross Country Wagons offer plenty of space despite not being SUVs, which is excellent for drivers who want a good amount of room but don't gravitate toward SUVs. Similarly, the V90 was also noted for offering ample cargo space without jumping to the SUV category.
We are honored to have been featured in Car and Driver's 'Editor's Choice ranking. The magazine states, "These are vehicles that we'd happily recommend to our family and friends-and you." We certainly think that's a pretty solid endorsement of our vehicles.
In addition to the praise from Car and Driver, many of these models have earned other awards. The XC60, for example, won the 2018 "North American Utility of the Year" and the 2018 "World Car of the Year." In 2016, just two years prior, Volvo won, as the XC90 earned "North American Utility of the Year." The model was also named "Motor Trend SUV of the Year" that same year.
If you are in the market for a new ride, look no further than Keystone Volvo Doylestown. We proudly represent a brand that consistently creates fantastic and award-winning vehicles. So visit us today or schedule a test drive to see why Volvo models are so well-rated. We look forward to seeing you!
Volvo Prioritizes the 'Brainlift'
Advancing software will improve the driving experience even more!
While there's certainly nothing wrong with a good facelift as car models progress, we at Volvo believe that technology, the "brain," should be our first priority as we upgrade our models. Let's take a look at what this means for the Volvo brand.
Volvo's chief commercial officer and deputy CEO, Bjorn Annwall, coined the term "brainlift" and stressed this enhancement type's importance when he spoke with CarExpert at a media event.
"I think more of the consumer benefit will sit in the software rather than the hardware," Annwall explained. "That said, we're still humans, and you still have a different shirt now than three years ago."
Included among the brainlift efforts is electrification, which has been a considerable aspect of Volvo's advancements in recent years, as the brand plans to go all-electric by 2030.
Volvo plans to look into charging subscription fees for specific optional software features, which has become more common these days in the luxury car industry, but don't worry about paying for features that should come standard! The features that require a subscription will be extras that give the driver additional value, not those that should already be included.
Annwall assured that, saying, "And our firm view is that you were not going to skin our customers $1 for a small feature. For instance, a full AD [autonomous driving] function would be an example where I think customers would accept [subscriptions]."
Focusing on how the car runs and working towards advancing our electrification technology, autonomous driving, and more, we will continue to have success as a brand and make our drivers happy. We hope you share in our excitement for the future, our progress, and the progress to come.
If you are interested in a Volvo vehicle or learning more about Volvo, contact us today at Keystone Volvo Doylestown. We are happy to help answer any questions and help you find the perfect vehicle to suit your needs! As always, we strive to be a brand that drivers love and makes the lives of our customers more accessible every day.
The 2023 Volvo V90 Cross Country Is Great for Winter Adventures
This ride has it all!
When you think of a winter vehicle, you might think of a 4WD SUV or something larger. While we love a good SUV, that's not the only option for a capable winter ride. We also realize that different cars are suited to different people, meaning not everyone prefers an SUV. Today, we will focus on the 2023 Volvo V90 Cross Country and what makes it a fantastic car to tackle winter conditions. That's right; this luxurious wagon can handle whatever winter throws its way.
This Ride Is Lifted
Just because the V90 Cross Country is a wagon doesn't mean it sits low to the ground. In fact, this model features a ground clearance of 7.9 inches! This is excellent news if you run into snowy weather, which is certainly possible this time of year.
Comfortable Interior
Comfort is a critical factor in creating a quality vehicle. The seats are made from fine Nappa leather, which is so luxurious and soft. The Plus level, the standard, features heated front seats to keep you warm during those frigid temperatures. You can even select your heating level on the touchscreen display. If you want to take things a step further, the Ultimate level features backrest massage front seats, which can be a fantastic feature for longer trips.
Safety Features
We can't forget to mention safety! Our assisted safety features help make driving in the winter less stressful. Your V90 Cross Country can help you avoid collisions with other drivers, pedestrians, and even animals, day or night. This ride can even help correct drifting. Additionally, the blind spot information system (BLIS), 360° parking view, and cross-traffic alert with auto brake can help you to stay extra safe on the road this season.
Google
This model has some Google features that improve your driving experience. Google maps are integrated into the model, giving you up-to-date traffic information and rerouting you if necessary. Google Assistant allows you to access directions, entertainment, and contact friends and family-all hands-free! We know how important it is to keep your hands on the wheel, especially during potentially sketchy conditions. This technology allows you to drive as safely and smartly as possible!
Accessories
If you like to take advantage of winter activities, this car can help you do that. The V90 Cross Country can safely fit accessories that carry items such as ski equipment.
There are many reasons why this wagon makes a great winter ride! If you have questions about the V90 Cross Country or any other Volvo vehicle, contact us today at Keystone Volvo Doylestown. We are happy to help you pick the perfect car for your lifestyle, and we hope to see you soon!
Volvo Moves Forward to an All-Electric Future
Volvo is electrifying!
Volvo has been a large part of the electric vehicle movement, working to be fully-electric by 2030. The 2024 Volvo EX90, an electric SUV, was revealed this November-and it doesn't stop there! While the electrification focus is currently on SUVs, the hope is for the brand to also create electric wagons and sedans, following their electric SUVs. Let's go over what we know so far.
According to Volvo CEO Jim Rowan, certain factors will have to come into play for this to happen. He is aware that different vehicles are suited to different types of people, and he told Autocar, "Suffice to say, we play across all the spectrums and range, and we have customers who require different vehicles, and different uses for vehicles. We'll try and make sure that we can capture as much of that as we possibly can."
Volvo's strategy, however, will be to tighten up its lineup. The brand plans to cater to a variety of people, without creating an unnecessary number of vehicles. We are confident that Rowan and the Volvo brand will find a way to strike the perfect balance here.
A new, smaller electric crossover model is also set to release next year. It will use Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) that was developed by Volvo and Greely, which should help to reduce the cost of EVs in the future. It is clear that the brand constantly is making progress!
While we don't have much information at this point about electric sedans and wagons from Volvo, we know that we can expect great things based on what we have already seen. The newly revealed EX90 demonstrates an awesome electric engine with two powertrain options, more advanced safety technology, and plenty of sustainability measures. If that says anything about what's to come (it does!), we know that the road ahead is going to be great!
We love to see the progress that has been made so far and can't wait for the future. At Keystone Volvo Doylestown, we are incredibly proud to represent such an innovative company. If you have questions about Volvo's electric vehicles, or any other Volvo-related questions, reach out to us today! We are happy to help with all things Volvo.
Here Are a Few Options for When Your Volvo Lease Ends
There's Something for Everybody!
Leasing and buying a car are both great options that can apply to different lifestyles. You may wish to lease a car if you plan to drive between 8,000 and 12,000 miles each year. This is also a smart choice if you wish to upgrade your vehicle after 3 years. It also means your monthly payments will be less money. Today, we are specifically focusing on the leasing option and what your choices are post-lease.
Lease a New Volvo
Leasing a new Volvo is probably the most popular option and reason why people choose to lease in the first place. If you enjoy keeping it fresh when it comes to your car, new leases will allow you to do so, without committing to the vehicle long-term. This is also typically the easiest course of action.
Buy Your Current Volvo
Another advantage of leasing a Volvo is that at the end of your lease, you may buy it for a cheaper rate. The past few years you've spent in your car should give you a good idea of whether or not you want to keep driving it. If you decide that you do, buying the vehicle post-lease is a great option!
Buy a New Volvo
Maybe you've gotten to a place where you wish to own a car and are able to afford higher payments. If you are still looking to upgrade your car, but want to commit to it for a longer period of time, buying a new Volvo may be the right choice for you!
Extend Your Lease
If you have already purchased a new Volvo, but need to wait a couple of months for the car to be available, a lease extension is an option while you wait. It is possible that there will be fees associated with this.
Lease Pull Ahead Program
On the flip side, you may actually wish to end your lease early. Luckily, Volvo offers a 6-month Lease Pull Ahead Program. This allows those who leased a Volvo with Volvo Car Financial Services (VCFS) to end their lease early and upgrade their vehicle. With this program, VCFS will waive up to 6 months of your lease payment and the vehicle turn-in fee. Check out more info on this program here.
If you are currently leasing a Volvo, you have choices for how to proceed when that lease is up. All of these are good options. It will simply depend on the particular driver which choice is the best one. We hope that we have been able to provide some clarity for the choices you have. At Keystone Volvo Doylestown, we are proud to help our customers through the car leasing process and all that it entails. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
The 2023 Volvo EX90 Is on Its Way
This Will be Volvo's Safest Vehicle Yet!
As you may know, Volvo is proud to be a part of the electric vehicle movement, and hopes to have a fully-electric lineup by 2030. This means replacing current models with electric versions. Today, we are going to be talking about what we can expect from the Volvo EX90.
A New Flagship SUV
The Volvo 2023 EX90 is set to be their new flagship SUV as part of the EV movement. During its initial release, it will be sold at the same time as an updated Volvo XC90. We will also see from the EX90 what the future looks like for the brand. The model is set for the 2023 model year, and will be revealed on November 9, 2022.
We do wish to clear up the name of this model. It was initially believed that this model would be called the "Embla." This, however, is not the case. So if you've been hearing anything about the so-called "Embla," it was likely about what we now know as the EX90.
Safety
If you know Volvo, you know that we emphasize safety. That is never going to change. Beyond that, the constant technological advances ensure that our vehicles will only get safer. This can be seen by the EX90, which will be the safest Volvo vehicle ever! With new sensors and software, Volvo has created a "shield of safety," according to the brand's press release. The goal is to reduce accidents by 9%, and accidents resulting in serious injury or death by 20%.
Volvo also said in their press release, "We'll continue to innovate until cars don't crash anymore, until we're 100 percent carbon free as a company. All in order to protect more lives, in line with our purpose. The EX90 is the start of a new era for Volvo Cars, taking our legacy of safety, quality and innovation into the future."
We'd like to highlight one of the new safety advances we are excited about. This is the EX90's ability to sense when the driver is distracted or tired, at a whole new level. If the car senses inattentive behaviors, it will gently alert the driver. If this does not work, the EX90 will increase the urgency of the alert. If these measures have yet to caution the driver, and they are not awake or otherwise capable of fixing their behaviors, the EX90 will safely come to a stop and call for help. This is just one of the many reasons why the new vehicle is so exciting-and safe!
We can't wait for the reveal in November! As always, we love that we get to be a part of such an awesome brand that constantly strives for excellence in safety and innovation. If you are interested in a Volvo, visit us today at Keystone Volvo Doylestown or schedule a test drive. We are happy to share our passion for the brand and help our customers make the best decisions for their lifestyles, and to do so safely. We hope to see you soon!
Volvo Cars and Starbucks Work Toward an Environmentally Friendly Future
Volvo + Coffee = A Dynamic Duo
We have some exciting news in the world of Volvo-and Starbucks. That's right, the collab you didn't know you needed is here. Charging your electric vehicle is about to become that much easier. This August, Starbucks revealed their very first electric vehicle charging station in partnership with Volvo cars and charger company ChargePoint holding.
Many of us need our morning coffee, so why not enjoy a Starbucks beverage while charging up your Volvo? Both brands are doing their part to take environmental action!
That's not all, though! The news gets even better for Volvo owners because these stations are available for free or at discounted rates! Other electric vehicle drivers will owe a small fee.
The first four charging stations have opened in Provo, Utah. And there are currently plans for up to 60 Volvo-branded EV fast chargers to be put in place in 15 Starbucks locations by the end of 2022. They will be placed along a 1,350 route from suburban Denver to the Starbucks headquarters in Seattle. If you're looking for a new road trip route, this drive is an awesome and environmentally friendly one to consider! Take some time exploring the Western side of the country while checking out these new charging stations (and grabbing coffee along the way).
Beyond these charging stations, the Volvo brand has been making additional efforts to protect the environment. The brand has pledged to be a fully electric company by 2030. Volvo proves that you can drive an awesome car and practice environmentally friendly behaviors at the same time, simultaneously selling premium cars and working to improve air quality.
These chargers are a fantastic step towards an electrified vehicle future. We know that the availability of charging stations can be a big factor in determining whether or not someone may purchase an electric vehicle, and this development shows that brands like Volvo and Starbucks are committed to creating accessible charging stations to incentivize environmental change.
If you are interested in shopping for electric vehicles from Volvo, stop by Keystone Volvo Doylestown today or schedule a test drive. We look forward to helping you select the best Volvo for you. We can't wait to see what's next as we continue to create beautiful and innovative cars while moving towards a greener future!
Reasons Why the XC40 Recharge Is Such a Great Model
Take Everything You Love About the XC40, But Make it Electric
With the XC40 Recharge 2023 model year releasing soon, we wanted to talk about what this vehicle is all about. Let's take a look at what makes this car so great and what we can expect from the updated model.
Engine
The 2023 XC40 will have a 75-kWh battery pack with two electric motors, as this car is fully electric. One of those motors will give power to the back wheels, while the other powers the front. This allows the vehicle to be in all-wheel-drive, full-time. Thanks to the engine, this vehicle has an impressive horsepower of 402. Beyond that, because this vehicle uses an electric motor, it is able to provide instant torque, while traditional engines need more time to power up.
"Fuel" Economy
This car is also very cost effective when it comes to charging it up. Just one charge can get you up to 223 miles. This means you can really go the distance-without worrying about fueling up. This all-electric vehicle will save you that extra time and energy. The EPA ranked the fuel economy as 92 MPGe in the city and 79 MPGe on the highway. MPGe is the equivalent of miles per gallon when discussing electric vehicles, where 33.7-kWh of electricity is comparable to one gallon of gasoline.
Interior
The XC40 Recharge is no different from the fuel-powered version in terms of comfort. The first and second row are spacious, and the driving position is comfortable, according to Car and Driver. It even comes with cubby storage that makes it easier and more organized.
Safety
We never forget about safety at Volvo. Many safety features come as standard, including automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Additional safety features include blind spot information system (BLIS), a 360-degree parking view, and cross traffic alert with autobrake. The structure of the vehicle, paired with a special battery safety cage, provides additional protection in the event of a collision.
Infotainment
Of course, this model wouldn't live up to our standards if we didn't believe it had advanced technology! Google Maps integration is one awesome feature that provides real-time traffic information and automatic rerouting. The Google Assistant even allows you to speak to it and get directions, make calls, or play music, all hands-free! The model also has an available premium Harman Kardon sound system that provides an immersive sound experience. The XC40 Recharge is never out of date, as it has automatic, over-the-air updates.
We can't wait until the 2023 XC40 Recharge hits the market! For now, you can visit us at Keystone Volvo in Doylestown to view our inventory of available XC40s. If you are interested in buying a new or pre-owned Volvos, please feel free to reach out or schedule a test drive. As always, we look forward to assisting you.
Here's Everything That's Covered With Your Volvo Warranty
We're Here for You!
Here at Keystone Volvo of Doylestown, we want you to keep your Volvo running as smoothly as possible, for as long as possible. That's why we offer warranty options for Volvo drivers. But what does the vehicle warranty actually cover? Let's take a look!
Vehicle Warranty Coverage
Under the Volvo warranty, any part of your vehicle is covered. This means if anything requires a repair or replacement due to a manufacturing defect, it will be taken care of, free of charge, by any Volvo dealer or authorized Volvo workshop. This is the case even if vehicle ownership changes during the warranty period.
Vehicle Warranty Period
So, how long is the warranty period? The vehicle warranty period starts on the day the new car is delivered to the customer, and will continue for 2 years. Unlike other warranties, ours is not dependent on the mileage. The warranty period for company cars or dealer demonstrator vehicles begins on the day the vehicle is put into service.
Accessory Warranty Coverage and Period
Your vehicle itself isn't the only thing we cover! Accessories are important too, which is why we have a warranty that covers them. Any genuine Volvo accessory, not including gift items, is covered under the warranty. This warranty includes any accessory that was supplied and fitted by a Volvo dealer within 1 month or 1,500 km of the vehicle being put into service, whichever comes first. The terms and duration of the warranty are the same as that of the vehicle.
Corrosion Protection Warranty Coverage and Period
This covers any part of the bodywork that has been perforated by rust corrosion. When this occurs, any affected panels will be replaced or repaired, free of charge, by any Volvo dealer or authorized Volvo workshop. Perforation refers to any hole in the bodywork that was caused by corrosion of the inside or underside of the vehicle, due to defective manufacturing or materials. This warranty begins at the same time as the vehicle warranty, and lasts for 12 years.
We know and love the Volvo brand, and we want our customers to feel the same. If you have any further questions regarding the Volvo warranties, please feel free to reach out to us at Keystone Volvo of Doylestown. Our experts are happy to help with all of your Volvo needs, and share the same passion for the brand as you do.
Here's Why Visiting the Dealership Gets You the Best Auto Service
And We Mean the Best!
Everyone needs to get their car serviced habitually, whether it's for an issue that has arisen, or for regular maintenance. In terms of where to get your vehicle serviced, we think the dealership is the best option. Of course, we may have some bias, but we're pretty sure you'll agree with us after reading this! After all, we stand firmly behind our brand here at Keystone Volvo. Let's take a look at some of the reasons why going to the dealership for your auto service is the best option!
Specialized Service
When you visit a dealership that specializes in your vehicle's brand, you are sure to get the best service. It's also the best way to ensure the parts are genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Top quality parts are generally what your vehicle originally came with. Other shops may offer aftermarket parts, which tend to be of lower quality.
Customer Service
Your local dealership will usually have the best customer service. Maintaining a lasting relationship, as well as a good reputation, is very important to them, so they will provide you with the highest quality of service possible. At the dealership, you and your car will be treated with the care and respect you both deserve.
Guarantees
While independent mechanics sometimes offer guarantees, dealerships are by far the most reliable. Dealerships also have the ability to offer you warranties. If your vehicle's warranty is still active, you will often be able to get services for free. If your warranty has since expired, the dealership may still be able to offer warranty coverage on the repairs themselves, meaning if the repair fails, you will be able to have it repaired at no cost to you. When getting your vehicle serviced, you want to be confident you will receive the best service possible, which is something dealerships are consistent about.
Keystone Volvo Doylestown
We believe cars should not be a source of stress. From standard oil changes to shock repairs, you'll find yourself very happy with our high quality and stress-free service approach. Even if you got into a car accident and your vehicle requires more involved repairs, Keystone Volvo Doylestown can do the job!
Did you know we service more Volvo cars than any other local dealership? We think that's a true testament to the quality of our service, as well as the ample amount of experience our staff has.
Need a part replacement? Don't worry! We have a parts department that will assist you in buying whatever parts you may need.
Beyond the fantastic customer service, we also offer a state-of-the-art facility. Our staff of experts is fully prepared to take care of your car.

Proud Volvo owners will know the brand has maintained its reputation over the years. Our brand has constantly evolved in order to be as safe and technologically smart as possible. Let's take a closer look at how!
A History of Reliability and Innovation
As far back as 1976, Volvos have been recognized as a top competitor in terms of safety. The brand was chosen as a benchmark for safety after a series of crash tests in the United States. In 2018, the first manufacturing plant in the U.S. opened in South Carolina. Not long after, in 2019, the brand introduced its first fully electric SUV. It is clear that innovation has always been an important aspect of Volvos.
Safety
Volvo has received recognition in the past for its safety features, and the brand has only continued to evolve these features. In the past few years, Volvo has introduced technology such as oncoming mitigation with braking, The E.V.A. (Equal Vehicles for All Initiative), and a speed cap.
Oncoming Mitigation By Braking - 2018
This is a unique Volvo feature. The system will help you automatically apply brakes when there is an oncoming vehicle in front of you. If a collision is unavoidable, it will help to reduce your speed and the force of the collision.
E.V.A. - 2019
Proving to be a reliable brand, Volvo has actually been collecting crash data since the 1970s. The E.V.A. initiative provides you with the research findings. This data is helpful to better understand what happens during a collision. Beyond that, it is particularly important because it is intentionally inclusive of men, women, and children. It is clear from the extensive research just how much the brand cares about your safety.
Speed Cap - 2020
In 2020, Volvo lowered the top speed in their new cars to 112 mph. Once again, this shows how the brand takes responsibility for assisting drivers to avoid traffic fatalities. While we know it is the responsibility of the driver to be safe and make good decisions, Volvos technology and active decisions provide additional tools to keep everyone safe.
Let's wrap up with a Guinness World Record. Did you know the car with the highest mileage ever recorded was a Volvo? The winning vehicle has over 3 million miles on it! That certainly says something about the lasting power Volvo vehicles have.
We strongly feel the Volvo brand is high quality and reliable. We also feel that gimmicks are unproductive. We want to help assist you, first and foremost, without any pressure. We don't believe in upselling or outsmarting our customers. Instead, we want you to experience for yourself just how reliable Volvos are. Stop by today, and we can help answer any questions you may have, as well as find the vehicles that best suit your lifestyle. Here at Keystone Volvo Doylestown, we want to ensure quality products and services. We hope that by visiting us for all of your car needs, you will feel the same.
Here Are the Main Benefits of Going Hybrid (As Shown By the Volvo S90 Recharge).
The S90 Offers Everything You Need!
Hybrid work-life and hybrid cars are pretty popular these days. After all, we all want a way to get the best elements of each option. You don't need a fully electric car to be economical-a hybrid car is a great choice!
Hybrid cars are an investment. While purchasing a hybrid vehicle may be more expensive upfront, it can save you more money in the long run.
One of these reasons is there is less gas and oil needed, due to the nature of hybrid cars. While hybrid cars still use gas and oil, they don't use as much. This will save fossil fuels and money!
Plus, it means less maintenance is required, so your car will have a good range!
And unlike with regular electric vehicles, you don't have to worry about running out of charge. That's the beauty of the hybrid. When the charge runs out, it will simply switch to using the gas. Gas stations can be easier to come by than charging stations. This allows you to experience the benefits of an electric vehicle, without the stress limited charging stations can cause.
Why the 2022 Volvo S90 Recharge Is a Uniquely Awesome Hybrid Car
A great example of why hybrid cars are so cool is the 2022 Volvo S90 Recharge. In addition to the benefits you'd expect from a hybrid, the Volvo S90 Recharge has even more to offer.
The 2022 model offers an extended range, so one charge can take you even further.
With this hybrid, you have the power of choice-Pure Electric mode, hybrid mode, power mode, or constant AWD. Pure electric mode produces 0 tailpipe emissions, and is perfect for daily commutes, while hybrid mode uses the electric motor and an internal combustion engine. Power mode is recommended for faster response to acceleration and Constant AWD is used to improve traction.
One of the added perks of the S90 Recharge is how comfortable it is. In fact, while this may not be something you think about in terms of comfort, the S90 Recharge has it in spades: the cabin air. The Recharge will keep you breathing easily with an air cleaner that can remove up to 95% of certain hazardous PM 2.5 particles. In addition to extra-clean air, the Recharge provides a comfortable experience for those in the back seat, with ample leg room and nappa leather seats. If you need to store your things, or your pals, the Recharge will help you to do so comfortably.
As always with Volvo vehicles, it's incredibly safe. The blind spot information system, or the BLIS, assists with changing lanes. The BLIS will automatically and subtly adjust the steering if a collision risk arises. Other safety features include a 360-degree parking view and cross-traffic alert with autobrake. Volvo keeps safety as a top priority, and the S90 Recharge is no exception.
If that's not enough, there's plenty more! Additional features include a Swedish crystal gear shift-now, that's one way to add a flair!
Of course, these are not all of the reasons the Volvo S90 Recharge makes for a great vehicle. Visit us at Keystone Doylestown Volvo today to learn more!
Simple Tips to Keep Your Volvo Running Smoothly
Follow This Simple Guide to Keep Your Volvo Healthy and Happy!
If you've been driving a car for any amount of time, then it shouldn't surprise you to hear Volvos are incredibly reliable vehicles. Safety and reliability have been at the center of the Swedish automaker's brand since the very first ÖV4 models drove off the assembly line in 1927. That spirit continues to this day, as new Volvo cars consistently outlast and outperform their competitors, especially when it comes to safety. If you want to maximize the benefits of your new Volvo, here are a few simple tips to keep your Volvo running smoothly!
Be Mindful Where You Park!
The location where you choose to park your new Volvo can have a significant impact on your vehicle's health, both in the short and long term. This is especially true if you live in an area with extreme temperatures. Hot summers and cold winters can damage a vehicle's systems, as can precipitation like rain or snow.
Simply put, if you're planning to leave your Volvo outside in the middle of a Doylestown winter, you should consider a different parking spot if possible. At the very least, look for a covered parking space; if not, an indoor garage.
Keep It Clean!
We get it: most people don't like cleaning their cars. It's a task that often falls into the same category as doing laundry or dishes: necessary but inconvenient. There are significant benefits to keeping your car clean, both on the inside and outside.
Giving your new Volvo a consistent wash helps break up any dirt or particulates accumulating on the doors or underbelly. Over time, these particulates can cause serious damage, especially if they wear through a joint or pipe on your Volvo's underside. While crumbs and trash on the inside of your car might not have the same dramatic consequences, they can still gunk things up.
As an added bonus, you'll also be driving around in a clean car! It's hard not to appreciate the difference that makes, especially during a morning commute. Driving along Route 202 is stressful enough without having to brush off crumbs and juggle fast-food wrappers.
Don't Slack on Service!
The good news is your new Volvo will likely need service a LOT less frequently than any comparable model from another brand. Of course, it's still a good idea to stick to your Volvo's service schedule to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Thankfully, it's not difficult as long as you keep in communication with your dealership. Your Volvo's internal systems will be able to notify you when things like oil changes pop up, and scheduling service is easy on your local Volvo dealership's website. Don't fret about buying expensive replacement parts or committing to elaborate at-home repairs either: Volvo's warranties are incredibly generous in covering routine services.
Software Updates Are Important, Too!
If we had to guess, people generally don't get very excited about software updates. Let's be honest with ourselves: we've all spent at least a month clicking Remind Me Later on a core computer update at some point or another. So, keeping your Volvo's internal software up-to-date is always a great idea to ensure your car is running smoothly.
In the event you have a home internet connection, your Volvo should be able to update automatically. If you're running into issues, it's always a good idea to call your local Volvo dealership service center for assistance.
Thankfully, Volvo's cutting-edge engineering goes a long way towards ensuring a comfortable, reliable, and long-lasting driving experience. As long as you give your new Volvo the care and consideration it needs, it'll happily serve you for years to come!
Must-Ask Questions for Buying a Pre-Owned Car
If you shop smart, then getting a pre-owned car can be an awesome way to get premium-quality vehicles for lower prices! Although the term "used car" might conjure images of sleazy back-alley dealership lots, the reality is that many used cars offer a reliable driving experience for a solid value-especially if you shop at your local Volvo dealership!
As with all things related to car shopping, showing up prepared is a good idea. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when you shop for a pre-owned Volvo car!
Do Your Research
Before you deal with particulars like financing and insurance, it's a good idea to know what kind of vehicle you want. This may sound obvious, but it can be a common pitfall for first-time car buyers.
As many people associate shopping for pre-owned vehicles with making cost-cutting decisions, it can be easy for conversations about used cars to get entirely wrapped up in budget. It's a good idea to show up to the lot with a better idea of what you're looking for than just a price tag.
Are you looking for a reliable commuter car? Do you want something you can take to the mountains? How many passengers do you plan on driving? Visiting the dealership with a firm understanding of what you want to get out of a car is the single most important thing to do if you want to maximize the value you get from shopping pre-owned.
Do Some Research Into Your Car's History
After you've done your first round of research, it's time to do another round. You should be prepared to hit the books if you want to get the best possible car for your price range.
Once you've narrowed down your search to a couple of different vehicles, it's a good idea to compile some information on their histories. Getting a vehicle history report is generally one of the fastest ways to fill out the info you need, but it still contains a lot of individual parts. A complete timeline of used car history should contain a record of previous owners, documentation of any previous accidents, as well as any topical insurance information and a list of registrations.
Of course, if you want to skip some of these steps, you can always consider shopping for a Certified By Volvo Pre-Owned Car.
What's a Certified By Volvo Pre-Owned Car?
If you want to shop for new-quality Volvo vehicles from recent model years, then browsing a Certified by Volvo Pre-Owned Car is a great way to save money. This designation is selectively awarded to certain used Volvos from recent years that meet strict criteria. In addition, each one is required to pass a rigorous inspection before it can be listed. Cars are also only eligible if they have a complete ownership timeline, meaning drivers shouldn't expect any insurance surprises.
Simply put, if you want to shop for a pre-owned car, ask about the Certified by Volvo Pre-Owned inventory when you visit the dealership.

Interior Perfection: The 2021 Volvo XC40
Although it might not hang out in painting galleries, the 2022 Volvo XC40 is a piece of art. This vehicle is the latest iteration in Volvo's masterclass SUV lineup, and it's hard not to appreciate the ways in which it absolutely transforms the driving experience.
Given that the 2022 Volvo XC40's MSRP is JUST $35,195, it represents the perfect point of entry for drivers who feel ready to graduate to luxury SUVs. Don't be fooled by the vehicle's spacious interior either; drivers can look forward to 30MPG thanks to the Volvo XC40!
Of course, these are benefits you can learn by just reading the 2022 Volvo XC40's info sheet. What really sets the XC40 apart from the competition is its world-class interior.
Let's take a look!
New Look. Clean Finish. Same Volvo Sophistication.
True to its heritage, the XC40 is an absolute titan on the road. Its robust all-wheel-drive system can produce a reliable 248 horsepower while delivering top-line handling. Of course, you wouldn't be able to tell that the XC40 is so fearsome under the hood because its interior has been carefully crafted to muffle road noise and provide a stress-free driving ambiance.
Did we mention that it has a customizable leather interior? Because it does.
If you want luxury that can get the job done, it's hard not to appreciate this SUV.
Don't Forget the Tech
You'll appreciate the XC40's tech before you even open the door. Literally! Volvo's smart key system allows for flexible keyless entry and remote starts. Even better, it allows you to customize which keys are able to start your car, providing peace of mind that it can't be driven without your authorization.
Of course, all of the other tech classics are here: smart system infotainment, integration with Android Auto (and Apple Carplay!), along with a customizable dashboard display! Of particular note is the vehicle's safety system, which includes a sophisticated suite of features like a dynamic back-up camera and real-time parking assistance.
Seating
We mentioned earlier the 2022 Volvo XC40 features a made-to-measure leather interior. It's worth appreciating just how much leather that is! This vehicle boasts an absolutely palatial 95 cubic feet of passenger space-which is more than some vans offer. Not bad for a 5-seat vehicle!
Naturally, all of this sprawling, comfortable space makes it perfect for both families and hobbyists on the go. It doesn't matter whether you're navigating a Little League commute or a winding mountain path, the XC40 is absolutely one of the most comfortable ways to experience the road. Of course, the trunk size isn't anything to scoff at either.
There are plenty more reasons to love the 2022 Volvo XC40 beyond its luxurious interior! Don't just take our word for it, however! Visit Keystone Volvo in Doylestown today to schedule a test drive!

The 2022 Volvo XC40: Luxury Redefined
Meet the SUV That's Changing the Conversation
There's a lot to love about Volvo's smallest SUV. Since first driving off the assembly line in 2018, this compact luxury SUV represents an affordable, accessible point of entry into the world of luxury vehicle ownership for drivers of all walks of life.
A lot goes into earning a luxury designation. As there are no official guidelines for what counts, luxury is one of those "you'll know it when you see it" sorts of things. If you've ever been behind the wheel of a new Volvo XC40, you'll know exactly what we're talking about!
If you haven't had the privilege yet, or you still need more convincing, let's explore the features that make the XC40 such a universally beloved luxury ride.
One Word: Space
It's hard to appreciate the difference that having enough space makes in a car until you run out of it. No matter how sophisticated a vehicle's technology is, nobody is going to enjoy a ride that feels like cramming into the middle seat of an airplane's coach section.
The passenger area of the Volvo XC40's cabin is absolutely spacious. With over 95 cubic feet of passenger volume, a single person effectively has a full sedan interior worth of legroom. On its own, this would already be an incredible amount of space, but this number comes before you factor in all of the cabin's designated storage!
In fact, the XC40 features a variety of innovative cargo options that are designed to turn every square inch of the car's interior paneling into discreet storage solutions.
Centralized Infotainment Is a Game-Changer
Until you get behind the wheel of a luxury vehicle like the Volvo XC40, it's difficult to appreciate how much of your attention while driving is eaten up by just hunting down buttons and switches. From endlessly adjusting the Spotify playlist to checking navigation on your phone, it can be hard to appreciate a drive when your attention is so divided.
The Volvo XC40's intuitive infotainment system centralizes countless different car functions into a single easy-to-use touchscreen. Combined with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, this infotainment console allows a seamless continuity for your digital media throughout the day. Using this system, you'll be able to start a podcast on your phone, continue it in your car, effortlessly switch to navigation, and then resume it when you get home.
Once You've Experienced Autonomous Driving, You'll Never Want to Go Back
It's amazing how a feature like AI-assisted driving-once considered to be purely in the sci-fi realm of possibility-is now a feature available to Volvo drivers! While Volvo's suite of driver assistance features isn't a complete substitute for attentive driving, they're convenient and luxurious enough to completely change the way you view both commutes and long-distance drives.
In addition, Volvo's assisted driving comes with a suite of safety upgrades designed to minimize accident risk by providing drivers with an exceptional degree of control and awareness on the road. Chief among these features is an automated emergency braking system that's able to detect pedestrians and animals-even at night time! Drivers can also look forward to a lane-keeping assist feature that provides departure warnings!
While these might be some of the main reasons to love the 2022 Volvo XC40, they're hardly the only ones! Everything we mentioned in the article just covers features that can be found in the cabin. We haven't even started on the sheer muscle that's waiting under the hood! If you want even more reasons why the 2022 Volvo XC40 will transform the way you view driving, visit Keystone Volvo in Doylestown today!
Winter Is Coming. Make Sure Your Volvo Is Ready
There are several steps you can take to properly winterize your Volvo.
We get it: thinking about winter when there's still a few weeks left of autumn can feel pretty depressing. That said, winter can come pretty quickly in Doylestown, PA, so you'll want to make sure your new Volvo is ready for the snow. Winterizing your vehicle doesn't have to be some grand maintenance overhaul, though. It just means making sure your Volvo's various systems are as prepared as possible for any difficult weather that may come.
Check Your Fluids-ALL of Them!
Your car has more fluid systems than you might think, which is why it's important to check all of them.
First and foremost, check your Volvo's oil, especially if you've driven at least 8,000 miles since your last oil change. Cold weather can cause your vehicle's oil to flow slower, which increases the risk for a breakdown.
Next up, you'll want to check your car's coolant fluid levels. Check to make sure the fluid is between the Fill line and the Add line. While "coolant" might not seem like a priority during winter, this system is responsible for keeping your engine's temperature stable-and heating your cabin!
Finally, you'll want to check your vehicle's windshield wiper fluid. This is a super useful tool to keep rain, snow, and sleet from sticking to your windshield.
You Don't Want to Get Caught in the Snow With a Dead Battery!
Battery failures are responsible for the majority of AAA roadside calls. Car batteries often don't show signs of age until they're on the brink of failure, so be proactive about your battery's health.
Most car batteries will last about three years-so if your battery is older than two years old, you should bring it into your Volvo dealership service center to get tested as soon as possible. Exposure to extreme temperatures, particularly cold weather, can lessen a battery's lifespan.
Don't Forget Your Tires!
Thankfully, driving in Doylestown, PA, doesn't mean dealing with too many blizzards, but it's still a good idea to make sure your tires are up to the task. Beyond snow, there's plenty of slush, sleet, and ice to contend with during the winter months.
When you check your Volvo's fluids, you should also take a second to check the wear bar on your tires. This is a small rubber bar that's set in the very back of the tires' grooves in order to measure how worn down the tires are. If the bar is unevenly worn, that could signify issues with your vehicle's alignment as well as tire pressure. Meanwhile, a completely worn-down bar indicates it's time to replace your tires.
By taking a few basic steps to winterize your Volvo, you can save yourself a major headache once the weather gets colder. If you have any questions about the unique needs of your Volvo car-or want to schedule a Volvo winterization service-visit Keystone Volvo in Doylestown today!
Is Now the Time to Buy a New Volvo?
Between an Awesome Lineup and Amazing Incentives, There's Never Been a Better Time for a New Volvo.
Is now the time to buy a new Volvo? Spoiler alert: yes.
Whether you're a diehard fanatic or a newcomer to the brand, there's a lot to be excited about in Volvo's 2021 and 2022 lineups. Between a host of cutting-edge features becoming standard across a variety of cars, breakthroughs in electric vehicle engineering, and new ways to get behind the wheel of a new car, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better time to upgrade.
Let's take a look at some of the many, many reasons why 2021 is such an awesome time to buy a new Volvo car, starting with:
Going Full Electric Has Never Looked Better
Although there was a lot of consumer enthusiasm for pure-electric cars in the 2010s, drivers were consistent with the options available. While electric cars from brands like Tesla delivered effective electric motors, their expensive price tags and awkward rollout of features turned off many would-be drivers. Likewise, even successful electric vehicles, like Mitsubishi's Outlander PHEV didn't offer full electric motors, and instead assumed that drivers would carefully budget their charges to fit all of their weekly commutes into the vehicle's limited electric range.
Now that Volvo has arrived on the e-mobility scene with cars like the 2022 Volvo C40 and the 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge, the conversation is changing. These two vehicles represent an affordable, intuitive way to make the switch to electric driving-while getting an amazing vehicle in the process!
Both cars offer a 200+ mile driving range on a battery that can be charged in under an hour. Of course, this pivot to electric power doesn't mean that Volvo has made any compromises in power or performance. In fact, the XC40 Recharge can easily accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.7 seconds.
You read that correctly. Even a year ago, these kinds of numbers on a luxury SUV would feel like something out of a sci-fi series. Today, they're standard expectations for new Volvo cars.
Here's What's Now Considered Standard
Speaking of "standard expectations for new Volvo cars," the list of features that are now considered standard across most Volvo trims reads like something you'd send to Santa.
At the front of these upgrades is Volvo's new Connected Safety services, which allow nearby Volvo cars to communicate with each other to warn of hazardous road conditions or obstructions. From surprise snowstorms to vehicles with hazard lights, drivers won't need to worry about being caught off guard by rapidly changing road conditions again!
Beyond that, every new Volvo car comes standard with blind-spot warnings, rear cross-traffic warning systems, and adaptive headlights that feature automatic high-beam adjustment. As an added bonus, drivers can also look forward to power-folding side mirrors and even standard USB power outlets for every seat!
Remember: this list doesn't include features that are attached to higher trims. All of these amazing new features are included in your new Volvo at no extra cost!
Care By Volvo = New Cars at Used Car Prices
If you're looking for additional ways to enjoy Volvo's cutting-edge engineering without having to pay sticker price, then there's never been a better time to take advantage of the Care by Volvo platform.
Simply put, Care by Volvo offers drivers an affordable way to get behind the wheel of a new Volvo car without having to worry about the hassle of navigating a lease. For a single monthly payment, drivers get the keys to new Volvo models, along with insurance coverage, maintenance coverage, AND a suite of extra protections.
Best of all, the service offers plenty of flexibility to cancel or adjust after five months, meaning that you're free to upgrade to an even newer Volvo model! The lack of a long-term contract means that drivers of all walks of life can find incredible value in this service.
Of course, there's another central reason to buy a new Volvo car this year, and that's that new Volvo cars are fantastic! If you want even more reasons to fall in love with this incredible brand, then swing by Keystone Volvo in Doylestown today to schedule a test drive!
What Are the Most Family-Friendly Volvo Cars?
Shopping for a New Volvo Car? Here Are the Ones That Are Best for Your Whole Family!
Not all cars are created equal. If you've ever tried to transport science fair projects or little league players in the back of a cramped sedan, you'll know that there's a big difference between a regular car and a family-friendly one. Having the right mix of space, infotainment, and features goes a long way towards keeping your family driving stress-free.
Thankfully, Volvo has plenty of amazing options for family cars! Whether you're a first-time parent or an expert little league wrangler, here are our top picks:
The 2021 Volvo XC60
At the top of our list is a new Volvo car that expertly combines luxury with sustainability. The 2021 Volvo XC60 is an especially awesome vehicle for the parents of teenage drivers, as it's both easy to use and features PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) options.
Plug-in hybrid cars are especially popular for the parents of teenage drivers because of how easily the vehicle's charge can cover weekend, afterschool, or practice driving. The vehicle's fast charge means that you won't have to fret about paying for gas, and your teenager won't have to navigate any accident-prone gas stations as a result!
In addition, the 2021 Volvo XC60 comes with a suite of sophisticated safety features that includes adaptive braking, lane-keeping assist, and collision avoidance systems. This means that parents can hand off the keys knowing that their teenagers are protected by some of the most advanced safety engineering available.
As an added bonus, Volvo cars hold their value for a long time-and the XC60 is no exception! This means that parents can eventually retire their new 2021 XC60 by sending it off with the kids to college, knowing that this vehicle will continue to be safe, intuitive, and comfortable well into their teenager's adult life.
The 2021 Volvo XC40
While the XC40 doesn't quite have the same body size as the small and mid-size SUVs on this list, it's an intuitive, luxury vehicle that's excellent for new families.
This new Volvo car is designed to emphasize driver comfort and accessibility-two bonuses that can make a huge difference when you're navigating the new stresses of parenthood. Across this vehicle's feature list are countless small tweaks that have been made to maximize the quality of life for everyone in the car, drivers, and passengers alike.
One of the first things that drivers will notice is the XC40's plush chairs that are designed to accommodate relaxing postures while also offering plenty of legroom and headroom! The driver's terminal is also optimized to streamline interactions while minimizing disruptions, something that's especially important if you've got a baby in the backseat!
In addition, drivers benefit from adaptive lighting, hands-free liftgates, and flexible climate-control options. Even if you're running on 3 hours of sleep, it's hard not to appreciate the difference that this luxury makes.
The 2021 Volvo XC90
Parents Magazine has recognized this midsize SUV as one of the best available Family Cars, and we're not about to disagree! The fact that this vehicle can stand out at the front of their yearly evaluations of more than 50 cars says a lot about how awesome it is for families on the go!
There's a certain intuitive luxury to the 2021 Volvo XC90 that becomes apparent from the moment that you first open its doors. The vehicle's uniquely sleek Scandinavian aesthetics also includes enough space to comfortably seat seven passengers-meaning that everyone can enjoy the space without sacrificing any.
In addition, the 2021 Volvo XC90 boasts incredible safety ratings. It earned a Top Safety Pick+ designation from the IIHS, along with a 5-Star Safety Rating from the NHTSA. Both of these accolades speak for themselves.
One of the biggest incentives to a family vehicle is the peace of mind that everyone inside is protected, and that's challenging to put a price on. The 2021 Volvo XC90 boasts this in spades, making it an excellent choice for families of all shapes and sizes.

Is Now the Time to Buy a New Volvo?
Short Answer: Yes!
You'd be forgiven for not thinking too much about your car last year. After spending long enough inside, it can be easy to forget just how much having a high-quality car improves your quality of life, both in your day-to-day commutes and your capacity for year-defining adventures! Now that we're well into the summer of 2021, drivers all across America are rediscovering their passion for the open road.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Volvo has been getting plenty of attention from drivers. People of all walks of life recognize all of the innovative features in Volvo's 2021 lineup, and cars are accordingly flying off of the lots!
In the event that you're looking for a sign to pounce on your dream Volvo, let's examine the reasons why this is a great time to buy a new Volvo car!
There Are Great Incentives to Take Advantage Of--Make Sure to Ask About Them
You can trust your summer to Volvo-and the rest of the year too! 2021 is an amazing year for getting awesome new cars at competitive prices, both when you're buying and leasing. Interest rates are incredibly competitive right now, and there are plenty of lease deals available on Volvos if you're not ready to commit to your forever car just yet.
Make sure to ask your dealership about any incentive programs that are actively running. Volvo promotions can generate some pretty amazing savings from unexpected places, so it never hurts to keep an eye out for opportunities to save money when you shop for your next dream car! Remember that your dealership's goal is to get you behind the wheel of the Volvo that's best for you, so they'll work with you to identify any incentives that you're eligible for, which can include awesome financing options!
E-Mobility Is Better Than Ever (With Extra Incentives)
Volvo's push towards e-mobility offers drivers an excellent opportunity to take control of their carbon footprint and enjoy some awesome driving while they do so! Models like the new 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge are an excellent entry point into the world of electric cars, allowing drivers to experience all of the benefits of e-mobility without having to give up on luxury.
In fact, all new electric Volvo cars feature driving ranges north of 200 miles per charge! In addition to never having to visit a gas station again, buying a new Volvo car means barely having to worry about fuel. Period.
Depending on where you live, purchasing a new electric Volvo car can come with some serious tax incentives as well. You may qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 when you purchase one, and that's before you factor in the state, local, and dealership incentives as well!
The 2021 Volvo Lineup Has a LOT of Features for Affordable Prices
To put it simply, the 2021 Volvo lineup is AWESOME! From its signature trio of premium SUV crossovers (XC40, XC60, and XC90) to its wide inventory of station wagons and sedans, there's plenty to love about new Volvo models. These last two years have been exciting frontiers for e-mobility, but Volvo's innovations hardly end there. Drivers also benefit from a host of upgraded safety features, better gas ratios, and cutting-edge infotainment.
With all of the awesome features that come standard in Volvo cars, you'd expect to find some steep price tags attached. However, purchasing a new Volvo is often more affordable than the competition, even before you apply the awesome incentives we mentioned earlier! When you consider that other brands-especially in the SUV and crossover worlds-will lock their trademark features behind higher trim levels, buying a standard Volvo means that you're already getting plenty of amazing features for an awesome price.
Volvos Are Great Adventuring Buddies
Let's be honest with ourselves; after everything that happened last year, we all deserve to let loose with a little adventure. That's one area that completely sets Volvo apart from its competition-the fact that new Volvo cars are excellent adventuring companions regardless of where you're going.
It doesn't matter if you're planning a weekend staycation to unwind or a cross-country road trip to finally work on that novel. If you're going to hit the road, then you deserve to do so with the most reliable luxury available. Volvo's elegant Scandinavian aesthetics translate to comfy seating, practical use of space, and plenty of room for passengers to stretch out. If there's better transportation for rediscovering the world outside, then it certainly doesn't travel on four wheels.
If you'd like even more reasons to be excited about buying a new Volvo car, then visit Keystone Automotive in Doylestown today!
There's a reason Keystone Volvo Cars of Doylestown is the go-to affordable Volvo dealership for the Doylestown, Warminster, Lansdale, and New Hope areas.

The 2022 Volvo XC60 Is Redefining What It Means To Be a Luxury SUV
Safety, Space, and Style - This Volvo Compact SUV Has It All
There's an old saying: "You can't improve upon perfection." As it turns out, nobody's told that to Volvo, as the 2022 Volvo XC60 is a compact luxury car that completely rethinks the SUV format, delivering a car that manages to be both upscale AND affordable.
This new Volvo car offers a blend of trademark Volvo innovation with all of the space, safety, and swagger that drivers expect from a luxury SUV. Whether you're looking for a reliable commuter car to navigate Doylestown traffic or want to road-trip like a rockstar, the XC60 is the SUV to beat. Let's take a look at the three areas where it matters most to understand why this car is the perfect ride for SUV enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Driver Experience
The XC60 offers several powertrain options that are all coupled with an advanced, eight-speed automatic transmission. Drivers can choose between a T5, T6, and T7 option, each of which offers AT LEAST 29 MPG. These options translate to a driving experience that's just as stylish as it is smooth and responsive.
Whether you're looking for a reliable commuter car or a high-altitude adventuring buddy, it's hard not to appreciate the sense of control and agency that comes from sitting in the 2021Volvo XC60's driver seat. If you're looking to save money on fuel without making the switch to an electric or PHEV vehicle, then it's hard to find a vehicle that will offer you better mileage and output than this one.
Space
Volvo's unique sense of style is on full display in the 2022 XC60's interior. The Swedish automaker has long separated itself from the competition by focusing on tasteful, elegantly presented aesthetics instead of simply loading up interiors with an overstimulating hive of gadgets.
With over 100 cubic feet of passenger volume and 30 cubic feet of designated cargo volume, sitting in the back seat during long trips no longer feels like a punishment when you're in the XC60. The rear seats can be folded to further increase the storage space, meaning that you'll never have to worry about getting enough U when driving your Volvo SUV.
Safety
Any write-up of this car's safety features could easily be shortened to the phrase "It's a Volvo". For almost a full century, the Swedish automaker has been pioneering safety features with such a degree of precision and consideration that many have gone on to become industry standards. The Volvo XC60 is no exception, offering drivers a ride that's at the top of its class in safety and reliability.
Every trim level comes with a full suite of driver assistance features, such as automated braking, lane-departure warnings (that feature a lane-keeping assist option), and adaptive cruise control that incorporates a semi-autonomous driving mode. All of these features translate into an easy five-star safety rating from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS.

When Is It Time to Replace My Volvo Timing Belt?
All good things do come to an end.
The timing belt plays a major part in the running of your car. It turns the engine's crankshaft and camshaft in at the same time and makes sure each cylinder fires when it's supposed to during the intake and exhaust strokes.
The timing belt in your Volvo is made from high-quality rubber, making it quieter and less expensive than a chain or gear drive, but it will have to be replaced eventually. Here are some signs to look for that may mean it's time for a new one.
Keep an Eye on Your RPM Meter
Whether your timing belt is missing some teeth, or completely broken, it can make your RPM meter act all crazy. You'll know when something's not right.
Listen for a "Ticking Noise"
If you hear a ticking coming from the motor, that could be a sign that the timing belt needs to be replaced. It's attached to the crank and cam shafts by a series of pulleys, so that noise could tip you off that something is wrong.
The Engine Won't Turn Over
Although there are a couple of different things this could be, if you hear the starter motor fire but no full ignition, it could be a sign your timing belt is ready to go. Because it operates the crank and shaft, if the timing belt is broken, you're not going anywhere.
Look for Oil Near the Engine
Oil around the motor could mean that the gasket between the engine block and the cover for the timing belt is worn or cracked. Also, the nuts and bolts holding the cover on can become loose over time.
Exhaust Problems
Issues with your timing belt can make the engine work harder than it's supposed to and, perhaps obviously, can be very bad. Because of the extra work, the car will create more exhaust than normal- a sure sign that something is not right.
Unfortunately, the timing belt could go without showing any symptoms. The average timing belt can last anywhere from 60-90,000 miles, so if you're up in that range and haven't had it replaced, it is definitely time to get it checked out. Thankfully, Volvo doesn't just create amazing vehicles, it also maintains a world-class standard of service at its certified dealerships.
Bring your vehicle into Keystone Volvo Doylestown for quick, excellent service and keep your car running its best without any costly surprises. There's a reason why we're the go-to Volvo destination for Warrington, Point Pleasant, Solebury, and New Hope! Come shop Pennsylvania Volvos with our selection of new and pre-owned Volvo cars! Between our competitive Volvo financing offers and special Volvo incentives, your next dream car is waiting for you to come and drive it off the lot!
Volvo Announces Plans to Go Leather Free by 2030
Comfort and Style Without Cruelty!
Anyone who's sat in a new Volvo car knows Volvo's cutting edge designs are near synonymous with luxury. For almost a century, the Swedish automaker has been setting trends with its intelligently crafted seats, dashboards, and cabins. Now, Volvo is continuing to make headlines with new commitments they've made to leading innovation in the automotive industry.
To this end, Volvo recently announced its decision to make all of its cars leather-free by 2030. This decision is one of the many significant changes Volvo will be making over the next decade as part of its ongoing commitments to both drivers on the road and citizens of the world.
Volvo's decision sits at the forefront of a shift in the auto industry centered around creating more sustainable and ethically responsible options for consumers. The concept of a "vegan" car has been circulating in public discussions since 2016, but few automakers have been willing to commit to making a meaningful change in the same way that Volvo has.
This decision comes with several different benefits. To start with the obvious, drivers can now enjoy Volvo's luxurious interiors completely guilt-free! Even better, these new interiors are designed with Volvo's signature attention to aesthetic detail, offering comfortable seats with sophisticated finishes at different Volvo trim levels.
Switching away from leather also means each new Volvo car is environmentally conscious. Synthetic seating doesn't place the same strain on vulnerable farmland that comes with industrial cattle grazing. Combined with Volvo's decision to go fully electric by 2030-a commitment deadline that overlaps neatly with their drive towards more sustainable leather-upcoming new Volvo electric models offer drivers a chance to be mindful about their environmental impact AND drive in utter luxury when they do so.
If you'd like to see Volvo's new seating as it becomes available, then swing by Keystone Volvo in Doylestown today!

Here's How Volvo Cars Uses a Driving Simulator to Design Safer Cars
Volvo Engineers Use Simulation to Improve Vehicle Performance
Volvo Cars' driving simulator allows automotive engineers to make improvements to existing cars and develop new ones based on how the simulator performs. The simulator boasts a recreation of a test track and roads that allow engineers to test new models on a variety of different surfaces and routes - all without leaving the building. It also allows an engineer to modify suspension, tires, and steering. Even more impressive is the realism offered by the simulator. Road bumps and other terrain surfaces are felt to an accuracy of .2 millimeters.
The simulator is made of a real Volvo car cabin that has been situated on legs that move in conjunction with the selected road or surface. Much like being in an arcade, the simulator faces a large screen that mimics a road. What sets this simulator apart from an actual arcade setting is the detailed physics involved to allow for intense study of each movement.
The perks of using this simulator have allowed Volvo to cut down on the time it takes to develop a new car in both design and personnel. Engineers get to work out the kinks of a new vehicle before it hits the assembly line and Volvo personnel get to focus their efforts on one machine as a team effort, rather than as separate entities to eliminate miscommunication. Another benefit of the simulator is that the same results can be replicated over and over for consistent results.
This intense attention to detail and investment in a hyper-realistic simulator only proves that Volvo is a brand that will never stop learning or innovating. If you're in the market for a new or used Volvo car, crossover, or SUV, then Keystone Volvo of Doylestown has you covered.
