Our Favorite Features from Volvo to Help Beat the Heat
The dog days of summer are here, but Volvo makes it easy to stay cool with modern conveniences. Volvo goes beyond just really cold air conditioning—it has created models that intelligently manage the sweltering heat of the season. Here are some of our favorite standard and available features that make Volvo models an oasis all summer long.*
Comprehensive Controls
Volvo passengers can enjoy dual-, tri-, and even quad-zone automatic climate control systems with intuitive air temperature sensors and air filtration systems. These multi-zone systems offer separate temperature and airflow settings for the driver and passengers. The temperature sensors help the system to know when the desired cabin temperature has been reached and automatically reduce air flow to maintain that temperature instead of continuing to blast cold air.
One-Touch Panoramic Power Moonroof
There's nothing more refreshing on a hot day than opening all the windows and the moonroof and feeling the breeze blow through your hair. Volvo models really make it a breeze with one-touch panoramic power moonroofs. With the single press of a button, the huge moonroof opens and you can breathe again.
Ventilated Seats
Models equipped with the available perforated leather-trimmed seats can provide quick personal ventilation for passengers in the front and rear seats. The perforations in the leather wick air away from the occupants, quickly cooling to a comfortable temperature.
Integrated Sunshades
Of course, the sun can bake a car like an oven, so Volvo offers integrated window shades in some models, like certain trims of the Volvo XC90 SUV and S90 sedan. The shades are conveniently built into the door frame and easily slide up to shade passengers. When not in use, the shades simply slide down and disappear into the door.
Cool Storage
In models equipped with the four-zone climate system, not only can passengers stay cool, but the climate-controlled glove box helps keep food and beverages chilled, too. The insulated and air-cooled glove box in the passenger-side dashboard can hold as much as four full-sized beverage bottles. In models upgraded with the ultra-premium Excellence package, the center console between the rear seats houses a chilled well large enough to hold and cool a bottle of champagne.
Remote Controls With Volvo On Call
Thanks to the latest in Volvo connectivity, drivers can enjoy a pre-conditioned cabin before they even open the car door. Set your desired climate controls before you get out of the car; then when you come back to the car, use the remote control functions in the Volvo On Call app to start it up before you even leave the house. Your Volvo will come to life and start cooling the cabin. Plug-in hybrid Volvo models also offer cabin climate controls through the Volvo On Call app.
