Here at Smythe Volvo Cars, we go the extra mile to ensure that our customers and other drivers remain as safe as possible while they ply the nation's roadways. While most modern vehicles include a variety of safety systems that keep passengers and drivers safer, many of these vehicles are also smaller in average size. This means that once such smaller vehicles encounter larger obstacles during accidents, they are prone to greater structural failure. Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) by their nature solve this important issue. 

Before you leave on any trip, you need to take the time to examine the electrical components of your vehicle. These include the battery and alternator. Smythe Volvo Cars can perform an analysis to determine if these parts are putting out the proper charge. The starter is another part that you need to have checked as you don't want to get in your car and not be able to get it started.

Make sure you have plenty of gas in your vehicle. If you're stuck in traffic, you don't want to risk running out of gas. Raise…

At Smythe Volvo Cars, we love showing off the interior features of the Volvo XC90. You can enjoy stunning upholstery, plenty of room for passengers and cargo, and so much more. It could be the perfect SUV for driving around town.

You can enjoy three rows for passengers to sit up to a total of seven. Leatherette and leather upholstery is available, allowing you to choose what’s right for you and your budget. The second and third-row seats fold flat, too, giving you room for luggage and any other cargo you might have with you. 

What do you look for when searching for a new vehicle? Do you look at the safety features? What about the interior features and performance? Each member of our team understands the importance of finding a vehicle that matches your style, and we're excited to introduce this popular luxury compact SUV.

Nighttime driving can be a hassle, but auto dimming mirrors can help prevent you from being blinded by traffic behind you. Sensors work to detect when bright light is reflected in your rearview mirror and adjusts the mirror to stop the headlights. 

A car cover is an important accessory for any vehicle. If you want to keep your car in top condition, we at Smythe Volvo Cars recommend preventative maintenance. A cover improves how well the interior and exterior of your vehicle will age, so it is just as important as a tune-up or oil change.

Weather is a major factor for those who are proud owners of a car cover. Long-term and short-term damage can happen with UV rays, dust from windstorms and hail. Keeping your vehicle covered plays a big part in how much it is damaged. 

Benefits of Leasing a Volvo

Choosing whether to lease or buy your next Volvo is a personal decision only you are able to make. There are certain benefits and drawbacks associated with both of these options, which drivers should consider before deciding whether to buy or lease.
