Look no further; I’ve driven the ultimate car of summer. Meet the Volvo XC90 from our favorite Fairfield County car dealership, Riley Volvo Cars Stamford. After spending the weekend with this beauty, I can assure you a Volvo XC90 has everything you need to enjoy summer and beyond.

City Car, Country Car

The Volvo XC90 carried me from I-95 to dirt roads in Litchfield County and the dark, winding back roads of Redding.

Rain or Shine

The Volvo XC90 is no fair-weather friend. On sunny days, one gentle swipe will open a panoramic sunroof. Too hot? Switch on the seat coolers and air conditioning. Does every passenger in your car have an opinion? Each seat and row can control their own climate.

What is summer without flash rain showers or thunderstorms? This intelligent car senses rain and adjusts the windshield wipers based on the conditions. Road Sign Information, Lane Keeping Aid, Oncoming Lane Mitigation, and Slippery road alert all assist in keeping you safe on the road, no matter the weather.

This car will perform in the cold weather as well with heated seats, heated steering wheel, and all-wheel drive the Volvo XC90 is your go-to winter car too.

Carpool Karaoke

Who doesn’t love a car ride sing-along? In the XC90, thanks to the Harmon Kardon premium sound system, HD radio, and Sirius XM satellite radio, you’ll be singing along to your favorite tunes. Apple Carplay lets you stream music on your apps and listen to podcasts or audiobooks.

Parking Anxiety No More

What is the parking like? This is a question I often ask before I travel anywhere new. In the Volvo XC90, parking is easy peasy with a 360-degree camera and parking assist. Your parking job is illuminated on the giant 9-inch center display screen, and a sound alerts you if you are too close, and your problem side is highlighted so that you know how to best maneuver the car.

Never Stop For Directions Again

Built-in Google services means that you’ll never be lost in a Volvo. The head-up display presents vital driver information so it appears in your field of vision at a distance that’s comfortable for your eyes. You can keep your eyes on the traffic simultaneously as you see the current speed, speed limits, navigation directions, and more. You don’t have to change focus or look down, which means less strain on the eyes. The brightness of the head-up display adapts automatically to current light conditions, and you can set the system to suit your own personal preferences and link it to the memory function for the power-operated seat.

Bring a Friend

There is room for everyone in the XC90. The roomy third row can be used or lowered to make room for whatever you are hauling. Two captain chairs easily allow added passengers to access the third row when driving friends home from the sports field.

She’s Got the Look

Ok, she’s pretty! From the Crystal gear selector knob by Orrefors to the ventilated Nappa leather upholstery or the 21-inch 8-Multi Spoke Black Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels, this car is a whole look.

Safety First

Take away the look, take away the fun features, and you are left with an inherently safe car. The car is stocked with protective safety, child safety, security, and preventative safety.

Who You Work With Matters

This is what I advise my clients and what I believe holds true in all aspects of life. Working with Riley Volvo is a true pleasure. Jameson and Dan are knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating to all your Volvo needs. The Riley Volvo showroom is bright, clean, energy efficient, has a children’s waiting room to keep the littles busy, and is stocked with snacks and drinks.

Whether taking a road trip, a day trip, shuttling between sports fields, or cruising around town, the Volvo XC90’s impressive safety features, spacious size, sleek look, and luxurious amenities will perfectly suit your family’s needs. Swipe open the panoramic sunroof and ride off into a Fairfield County summer sunset.Riley Volvo Stamford ad
