Cheers to summer! It’s a change in routine; meals are different, sleep is different, activities are different. But one thing remains the same – I’m in the car more hours than I would like! However, as I cruised around in the luxurious and sleek Volvo XC90 – windows down, sunroof open, and the radio blasting – it was sweet summer perfection!
I had the pleasure of test-driving the XC90 from Riley Volvo Cars Stamford for a weekend, and I loved every minute of it! I used the car to do all things summer – trips to the ball field, hauling plants to beautify my walkway, enjoying coffee by the beach, and stocking up on groceries for the kids’ first week home! I even snuck in a fun date night with my husband. And the best part is that I did it all in style!
Words that immediately come to mind when I think about the XC90 are dependable, luxury, adventure, and safety. From the moment I pulled onto I-95 North during rush hour to bopping around town for errands, I found the XC90 to be incredibly reliable and comfortable.
As my children continue to grow, our needs as a family change. I need more room for carpools, sports gear, and device chargers! However, one thing has always remained the same. We need a safe and reliable car.
All weekend, I found myself saying “one thing I love about this car is…” over and over. I honestly love every little detail; Volvo thought of it all. Some of my favorite features were the parking assistance, sunroof, and lane-keeping aid. I also found the seatbelt alarm, camera system, and surround sound to be great features. The trunk room was generous; it fit all our sports gear and groceries just fine!
Although car seats are no longer a huge concern for me, it is important to note that the Volvo XC90 is car seat friendly! The latch system and anchors are available, as well as a built-in booster in the 7-seater car! How amazing is it to be able to pop open a booster for added safety quickly?
I also loved the navigation system, hands-free liftgate, and blind-spot monitor. These features helped me feel safe and secure while driving my family around.
Volvo considers everything; the technology is top-notch, the design is sleek, the safety features are incredibly thoughtful, and environmentally, the car can help you reduce your carbon footprint!
The overall attention to detail is worth noting! Not to mention, it is a very striking and sexy-looking car! The car is also so much FUN! I am declaring it the #1 summer fun car of the season!
If you are in the market for a new car, I suggest you visit Riley Volvo Cars Stamford. Jameson and AJ run the family-owned business their grandparents started! They are personable, helpful, and trustworthy. They can help you explore the world of Volvo and find a car that fits your needs in 2026!
