Visit our team right here in Thornhill to experience how authentic materials, thoughtful. Scandinavian Design Hasselblad, Lego, Electrolux, Fiskars, Bang & Olufsen, Volvo: All of exceptional quality. All elegant in their functionality.
All representatives of Scandinavian design. The Scandinavian approach to design is rooted in the region's long held democratic ideals; its relatively equal distribution of wealth; and its small. A sleeker exterior design and improvements to suspension and infotainment make the second-generation XC90 feel fresh and modern.
Volvo V60 and V90 Cross Country Volvo's beloved wagon heritage lives on in the rugged yet refined models like the V60 Cross Country (mild-hybrid or PHEV) and even more capacious V90 Cross Country. The luxury compact SUV segment has become an arms race of aggressive styling, oversized grilles, and angular creases that shout for attention. Volvo refuses to participate.
The 2026 XC60 T8 AWD Ultra arrives as a deliberate counterpoint, a vehicle that communicates confidence through restraint rather than visual aggression. This is Scandinavian design philosophy made tangible: every surface. To celebrate its 70th anniversary in the United States, Volvo Cars has teamed up with Ridgeway.
For drivers in Ontario who value thoughtful design and conscious luxury, Volvo's interior materials and layout philosophy offer something different from the typical automotive experience. Here's how Scandinavian design principles create a calming environment that helps you arrive at your destination feeling refreshed rather than frazzled. Small is big on little details: and so, in addition to the four different finishes available for the cabin, the customer is also offered five different interior lighting themes, each inspired by a Scandinavian landscape: they gradually change colour, say the Volvo designers, generating a sense of calm.
Swedish cars like Volvo masterfully combine aesthetic simplicity with practical functionality, embodying the core principles of Scandinavian design. Upon entering a Volvo, the minimalistic features immediately catch your eye. Everything from the dashboard layout to the seat design reflects a commitment to both form and function.
The new, 2025 XC90 joins Volvo's "green" lineup which includes the full-electric EX30 and EX90, as well as the 2025.5 plug-in hybrid XC90 T8 which Volvo calls "an important car for us in terms of sales and profitability." Like most manufacturers, Volvo has backed off its previous full-electrification goals a bit, but full electrification remains a key pillar of Volvo Cars' product.
