Enjoy Your Family Road Trip in the Volvo XC60

With everything going on, it feels like summer has been put on hold. Many of us have canceled our vacations to wisely avoid crowds, flights, and risks. However, as we adapt to the current issues we’re all facing, it’s important to stay connected with our family and friends. That’s why the Volvo Cars Silver Spring team thinks that this summer is the perfect time for a good ole fashioned road trip. Road trips present opportunities to visit amazing national parks, learn from historical landmarks, and bond with our travel buddies along the way. Things are opening back up and with the right safety precautions, you can enjoy the open road with your loved ones. All you need are snacks, a good playlist, a few points of interest, and the perfect vehicle to get you there. We can’t help you choose the perfect travel buddies, but we can help you select the best vehicle to enjoy the journey. To have the best possible trip, you’ll need to check these things off your list: comfort, fuel economy, safety, and technology. This sounds daunting but the Volvo XC60 checks all the boxes.

More Smiles Per Gallon

If you’re going to be covering a lot of miles, you’ll want to make the most out of every gallon. The XC60 is standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that generates 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and an automatic transmission. This powertrain creates an amazing fuel economy, so you’ll find yourself making more memories and fewer pit stops. This powertrain produces both power and efficiency, the perfect combo for a road trip. The available all-wheel drive system improves traction in a variety of situations. No matter what your trip puts in your path, the Volvo XC60 can help you conquer it. 

Room for More Cargo and Comfort

Road trips inherently involve spending long hours in your vehicle, so it’s important to have plenty of comfort and space to stretch out. Premium upholstery brings a level of luxury and comfort you’ll appreciate for miles to come. Everyone will argue over who gets driving duty and shotgun thanks to the driver and passenger adjustable seats. Spacious rear seats also offer custom comfort for hours of riding. Seating for up to five with split-folding rear seats makes it a breeze to load up. Automatic climate control makes sure all passengers get to enjoy the most optimal temperature, so there won’t be any arguing over one passenger being too hot and another being too cold. The more people you bring, the more luggage you’ll have, so cargo space is essential. The XC60 provides the space you need and then some.

Protection While You’re on the Road

With a car full of people, it can be hard to focus on the road. The Volvo XC60 is loaded with driver safety features to make it easier to navigate the open road safely. Volvo offers a suite of safety and driver assistance features like the Blind Spot Information System with Steer Assist, Cross-Traffic Alert, Intelligent City Safety, and Run-off Road Mitigation to mitigate accidents and keep you safe. These features will reduce driving fatigue, which will make those long drives seem less exhausting. 

Stay Connected from Anywhere

No matter where your travels take you, the Volvo XC60 has the technology you need to stay in touch and on the route. Whether you prefer AM/FM radio or streaming through smartphone integration, the XC60 has the connectivity you want. Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, USB ports, and Bluetooth® make it easy to create a customized soundtrack to your road trip. Access your contacts, apps, playlists, and more, without taking your eyes off the road. The touchscreen display keeps you in control. Enjoy your favorite music with the available Bowers & Wilkins Premium Audio System, which produces sound worthy of a concert hall.

We’re excited to take advantage of summer and all the excitement that the season brings. Despite all that’s going on right now, we think that it’s more important than ever that we come together and spend valuable time with our loved ones. If you’re ready to load up and explore the open road this summer, contact the Volvo Cars Silver Spring sales team. We can help you find the best vehicle to see the country with your family.
