What Is The Best Volvo Model For Families?

Volvo prioritises safety for everyone, both inside and outside their vehicles. Their cars are known for providing complete peace of mind. With a commitment to innovative safety technology, Volvo strives to create the safest cars on the road, ensuring protection for all.

Not only does Volvo pay attention to detail in safety, but its cars are also known for comfort and practicality, making them perfect for families.

Below, we discuss why Volvo cars are a great choice for families and how you can buy one of your own.​

Family Friendly Volvo Cars

Ranging from SUVs, Saloons, crossovers, and Estate cars, Volvo cars are the best fit for your family’s daily commute or going on holiday across the country. ​​

Key Cars Include:

EX60 – SUV – Electric – Offering a fantastic range of up to 503.3 miles and will learn your charging patterns, which can adapt to your battery management, creating an optimised range and efficiency.

XC60 – SUV – Plug In Hybrid – Features safety features including the Oncoming Lane Mitigation, which works with the blind spot monitoring system, meaning less driver input is required. And the Run-off Road Mitigation, helping to ensure you stay on the road and use steering input and brake support if required to keep you on track.

XC40 – SUV – Mild Hybrid – Creates a smooth, responsive and sustainable drive by recovering energy produced when braking and storing it in a 48V battery. When energy is used, fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions are both reduced.

ES90 – Saloon – Electric – Delivering dynamic performance with premium electric innovation to provide an enhanced driving experience. Offering a spacious boot, making it easy to fit school bags, luggage and shopping.

EC40 – Crossover – Electric – Volvo's first pure electric crossover, offering up to 336.2 miles of electric range. Offering a comfortable drive, thanks to its ergonomically designed rear seats, generous legroom, panoramic roof and convenient storage.

V60 – Estate – Mild Hybrid - It’s roomy, responsive, and versatile. Offering balanced proportions, a slightly longer roofline and comfortable seating, this spacious interior is relaxing for not only the driver, but also passengers.

Technology to Enhance Your Driving Experience

Volvo cars are integrated with Google apps built into the infotainment systems, so you can stay connected on the road. You can personalise it like you would like your phone, so your navigation and entertainment apps are together. With the touch of the responsive touchscreen, you can quickly reach what you need without being distracted from the road.

Do your passengers have their own entertainment devices? Volvo cars have accessible wireless charging points in the front seat, and USB-C ports throughout the cabin, so long journeys are not a bore.

Or doyou and your passengers prefer to party together? The state-of-the-art audio systems deliver immersive sound. Put on your favourite podcast or music playlist and hear it in the best quality.

Safety Features

Volvo’s commitment to advancing safety features means they study real crashes to refine and develop safety innovations. Conducting lab tests that replicate real-world conditions, it allows them to refine their research, which builds their safety credentials.

This research has helped them develop driver assistance systems, which give you more visibility of what’s happening on the road. These features are designed to alert you to potential dangers and prevent you from accidents.

Any software update will be sent directly to your car from the cloud and will roll out over-the-air (OTA) periodically, so you don’t need to visit a shop to keep your car up to date.

Child seats can easily be installed into the back row with ISOFIX anchorages in the outer positions. When your child transitions out of a child seat, they can use the built-in booster cushions in the outer seats of the second row, which work with a proper seatbelt fit to ensure the safety of your child.

In addition, the child safety locks on the rear doors protect them while you are driving.

Practicality Benefits

Your new Volvo car has been designed so no space is wasted. Making adventures or shopping trips easy, Volvo cars have large boot spaces and hidden compartments with dividers so you can easily organise your space. There is no need to stress or feel overwhelmed, thanks to small details which make the clutter disappear.

If you feel like you need any more storage space for larger items, the rear seats fold down easily. There is no lip, and the car is designed with flat floors, which makes loading and unloading the boot easier.

What’s more, you can open the boot with just the motion of your foot for hands-free access. Alternatively, you can use controls in the dashboard or your key fob for convenience.

Pet Accessories 

Volvo cars aren’tjust great for humans. With multiple pet accessories available to be installed in your vehicle, you can safely travel with your pets for a great walk in the park or on your family adventures.

Accessories include the protective steel grille, dog gate, load divider, dog load liner and all-weather interior cabin floor mats/textile interior cabin floor mats.

At Snows Volvo, we can install your pet accessories into your vehicle to ensure they have been installed correctly to keep your pet safe. Book an appointment through our portal to explore our options.
