When we spend time with our cars, the vast majority of that time is spent inside the cabin. You can have a gorgeous exterior and all the horsepower in the world, but if your seat is uncomfortable and the center stack is cluttered with features you don't want or need, it can be a major deal breaker. Volvo understands this and strives to make their interiors as luxurious, comfortable, and convenient as possible. Now…
