Read morePlanning an Ontario Fall Road Trip in Your Volvo XC90
A fall road trip can mean several hours on the highway, luggage in the back and weather that changes throughout the day. Having a vehicle that’s comfortable, practical and easy to use makes a difference, whether you’re travelling alone or bringing the family.
When planning your next Ontario getaway, consider how your Volvo X90’s interior, storage and technology can help make the drive more comfortable.
Cabin Comfort for Longer Drives
Seating comfort becomes more noticeable the longer you’re behind the wheel. Before leaving, take time to adjust your seat, steering wheel and mirrors so you have a comfortable position and a clear view of the road.
The Volvo XC90’s interior combines a considered cabin layout with practical storage. For a road trip, those everyday details matter: somewhere to keep essentials, room for passengers and controls you can become familiar with before departure.
If you’re shopping for a Volvo XC90, use your test drive to assess more than the driver’s seat. Check passenger legroom, access to storage and how the cabin accommodates the people who usually travel with you.
Cargo Space That Suits Your Plans
Fall travel often requires a little extra luggage. Jackets, boots and outdoor equipment can take up space quickly, especially when several people are travelling.
The XC90 offers cargo and storage options worth exploring in person. Look at the shape and accessibility of the cargo area, as well as how the seating configuration works with your usual load.
For your trip, load heavier bags securely and keep frequently used items accessible once you’ve parked. Keeping luggage organized also makes it easier to stop for a walk without unpacking the entire vehicle.
Navigation With Built In Google Technology
The Volvo XC90 brings everyday convenience to the driver’s seat with technology that keeps navigation, entertainment and vehicle settings within easy reach. An 11.2-inch centre touchscreen features an anti-glare surface and quick access to frequently used controls, while the 12.3-inch driver display puts key driving information directly ahead.
Google built-in provides Google Maps navigation with live traffic updates, along with voice control for tasks such as adjusting the temperature, making calls and choosing music.
The Volvo Cars app allows you to remotely lock the doors or prepare the cabin temperature before heading out. Over-the-air software updates help keep the XC90’s technology current.
Prepare Your Volvo XC90 for Fall Conditions
Comfort and technology are only part of road trip preparation. Your vehicle should also be ready for cooler temperatures, rain and shorter daylight hours.
Before departure, check tire pressure and tread condition, exterior lights, wipers and washer fluid. Arrange any scheduled maintenance before the trip, and take time to understand the features fitted to your Volvo.
On the road, adjust your speed and following distance to the conditions. Plan breaks during longer drives and use safe parking areas when stopping.
