Now that the warmer season has arrived in Frisco, are you planning a summer road trip? There is something special about making new memories when you own a Volvo. For decades and many generations, Volvo has helped drivers from all parts of life arrive safely at their destination. Crest Volvo Cars wants everyone to have a safe and exciting summer and enjoy their Volvo for long-lasting family memories. Whether it's a weekend road trip or an extended cross-country trip, we have a few incentives to start planning yours now. Explore our reasons why a Volvo makes an ideal vehicle for summer road trips and a few tips.
Luxurious and Custom Seating
Each Volvo model has tons of interior space for the driver and passengers to stay comfortable while on the road. If you're lucky enough to have a third row that folds down, you're in great shape to take extra passengers on a summer road trip, including the furry kind. With plenty of room for your luggage and adventurous gear, the only challenge might be deciding what not to take. Each Volvo has unique adjustable options for multiple seating arrangements, and customizing your seat is an advantage you need on any road trip. That comfort includes heating, cooling, and massage functions that are always helpful to Volvo owners around Plano.
Packing Tips:
Practice loading how much you plan to take on your trip a day or two prior. You will get a better idea and won't overpack.
Pack the heaviest items on the bottom and avoid using bulky luggage. Often, gym-type bags can be helpful for more room.
Allow children to take items that only fit into their share of interior space. Remember, they often bring back more than they take.
Don't forget to pack an emergency roadside assistance kit. Include road flares, jumper cables, non-perishable food items, and other essentials.
Under no circumstances should you pack anything that obstructs driver visibility. Use the roof rack and never overload the interior.
Smooth and Comfortable Ride
Volvo models provide drivers with a spectacular and comfortable drive. If you consider that Volvo models have some of the most advanced safety features in the industry, including an automatic emergency brake (AEB) system and lane-keeping assistance (LKA), you can drive with confidence and enjoy the trip that much more.
Pre-Destination Checklist:
- Inspect All Fluid Levels
- Check Tire Air Pressure
- Inspect Wiper Blades
- Ensure Spare Tire is Available
- Test Exterior Lights and Signals
In addition to the above items, make sure you're up to date on all scheduled maintenance. We also recommend testing your car battery to ensure that it's holding a proper charge, especially if older than a few years. You don't want a dead battery to ruin your road trip. Is your Volvo equipped with Volvo Pilot Assist? If so, prepare yourself for a road trip that puts you in complete control. This feature gives drivers enhanced and safe-speed maneuvering, but it may also help with fuel consumption. Of course, most Volvo drivers around Garland like that Volvo cars come equipped with safety technologies. That's a great benefit to have for a summer road trip outside Richardson, TX. However, we still recommend keeping both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
Stay in the Moment
One of the ways to enjoy a road trip is by going back over the memories. The best way to enjoy it is to stay present and in the moment. You already know you're driving one of the safest vehicles ever built in the industry. We encourage you to take your time and enjoy the ride and each other. All of us at Crest Volvo Cars wish you a safe and enjoyable summer road trip. While your Volvo is a nice centerpiece, we would be thrilled for you to share your memories and see your photos when you return to our dealership near Dallas. Drive safely!
