Every model year sees new changes for car companies and their vehicles. The Volvo brand is no different. With the 2022 model year coming to a close and the 2023 model quickly approaching, some of our Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and beyond drivers may be wondering, "What's new for 2023?". Here's some news about the 2023 Volvo lineup and what's to come in the new year.

What is a Mild Hybrid?

Combining a combustion engine and an electric motor, a mild hybrid is an electrified car that doesn't need to be plugged in or recharged. It stores energy generated by braking with its battery and uses it to boost the engine…
