"Volvo in Sports" with the new Volvo XC90

Following the introduction of its first Sports Utility Vehicle in the country, the XC90, Volvo revs up its involvement in sports through the Mayor’s Cup Badminton Tournament 2003 which is ongoing until November 17, 2003 at the Manila Polo Club.

Volvo endeavors to help uphold sports, education, and community service through the Mayor’s Cup Badminton Tournament. Led by Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay, proceeds from the badminton tournament will go to the Benigno Aquino Foundation and the Bigay Pagmamahal Foundation.

With the arrival of its first Sport Utility Vehicle, Volvo also aims to be more active in sports-related activities. The company continues to venture into more dynamic fields of human activity that are still in line with the core values of safety, quality and care for the environment. In addition to its dedication to life by caring for nature and the car occupants, Volvo extends its concern for its passengers’ overall well-being by staying fit and healthy through sports. Volvo’s efforts also reflect the international brand’s sports portfolio that includes sailing, mountain biking, and golf, among others. Through sporting events like the Mayor’s Cup Badminton Tournament, Volvo hopes to promote the value of sportsmanship, health and fitness.

The new Volvo XC90 is a seven-seater car-based all-wheel drive SUV characterized by a spacious interior, reinforced Boron steel roofing structure, world-first Rollover Protection System, and a host of safety and innovative features.

Volvo began operations in the Philippines through Viking Cars, Incorporated in 1994. Today, Volvo remains true to its commitment to automotive safety, premium quality, customer satisfaction, and environmental care through the expansion of its product line and distribution network in the Philippines.

The Volvo XC90 is now available at Volvo offices in Makati and Ortigas Center. For details and inquiries, call 893-6621 to 22 (Makati Showroom) or 637-0414 to 17 (Ortigas Center Showroom).
