Here is Why the Volvo XC90 is Among the Most Comfortable SUVs

Volvo has long had a reputation for comfort and its flagship SUV, the XC90, benefits from all of its experience in the domain. This is why it is equipped with a number of technologies are engineered to make it more comfortable.

The driver assistance systems

The Volvo XC90 is available with a complete suite of driver assistance systems that allow it to almost drive itself in certain circumstances. Indeed, the available adaptive cruise control and lane centering assist work together to control the speed and the direction of the XC90 on highways and well-marked major roads. This allows the driver to relax and focus entirely on the road ahead, thus making long highway drives safer and more enjoyable.

The interior space

The Volvo XC90 is the largest Volvo vehicle and its generous interior space is also a factor in its level of comfort. Even with seven passengers on board, the Volvo XC90 has enough room to keep everyone comfortable even on long road trips. Folding the third row of seats reveals a very large cargo compartment that can accommodate all of the luggage needed for five passengers to make a weekend trip away from home in comfort and serenity.

The intelligent air suspension

The Volvo XC90 can be equipped with the Active Chassis option, which adds an adaptive air suspension that can be used to raise and lower the vehicle to improve its stability and its practicality, but also to improve its comfort. By using air as a dampener, this suspension is able to quickly vary its firmness setting in order to provide a more compliant ride over rough roads and a more responsive feel around tight bends. By scanning the road multiple times per second, the active suspension is capable of reacting to potholes and bumps by softening its dampers before the imperfection is reached, thus reducing its impact on the passengers.
