The Volvo logo symbolizes rolling forward, and the logo is in Latin. Volvo is a Swedish automotive brand, and its models include: Volvo XC40, Volvo XC90, Volvo S90, Volvo New S60, Volvo XC60. Taking the Volvo XC60 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4688mm, width 1902mm, height 1658mm, wheelbase 2865mm, luggage compartment volume 483 to 1410 liters, and the body structure is a 5-door 5-seat SUV. The Volvo XC60 is equipped with a 2.0L L4 turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 190 and a maximum power of 140 kW.
Speaking of Volvo's iconic circle-with-arrow emblem, it actually encapsulates a chapter of Nordic industrial history. That diagonal slash was originally a bona fide metallurgical symbol – representing both the shield and spear of Mars from Greek mythology, and serving as a proud insignia of Sweden's steel industry. The founders began with ball bearings, with the word VOLVO itself meaning 'I roll' in Latin. The upward-pointing arrow subtly references their secure steel fastening technology. Resemble a seatbelt buckle? This classic design was actually finalized in the 1930s, predating automotive seatbelts by over two decades! While contemporary flat designs have simplified the metallic textures, they faithfully preserve that DNA of reliability.
