Volvo Car USA has proudly announced the sale of its 5 millionth new vehicle in the United States. This achievement coincides with the brand's 70th anniversary in the market, highlighting the company's dedication to continuous growth, safety, and a significant economic presence in numerous communities throughout America.

The sale of the 5 millionth vehicle, which occurred on March 29, 2025, underscores the company's enduring dedication to the region and its status as a leading choice among consumers. The proud buyer, Erin Taylor, acquired their new 2025 Volvo XC60 from Patrick Volvo Cars in Schaumburg, Illinois—a retail partner that has been serving customers in the Chicago area for over 30 years.

The journey started in the summer of 1955 when the first Volvo cars made their way to the United States. Swedish-built PV444s were unloaded at the Long Beach, California port, and that year, the company sold just 26 cars. Sales surged in 1956, reaching 5,047 units, and by 1957, Volvo Cars had become the second-largest import brand in California. Fast forward to 1974, and the United States emerged as the company’s largest market, highlighting the strong popularity of Volvo Cars in America. 

Nearly 70 years later, the sale of the 5 millionth new car in the U.S. stands as a testament to the brand’s lasting appeal and dedication to its American customers.
