The Volvo XC60 is a popular luxury compact SUV that earned the World Car of the Year designation in 2018, and Volvo hasn't missed one beat for their model.

The ultra high-strength boron steel body surrounds the driver and passengers and is essentially a safety cell. Both the rear and front ends dissipate energy during a collision, acting as another layer of protection. The XC60 is also equipped to help you avoid accidents.  

The new Volvo V90 is a spacious and high-performance crossover vehicle. While it is perfectly at home on urban streets, the new V90 has many design features that allow it to perform just as comfortably off-road. These features include special all-wheel-drive transmissions as well as specially designed chassis members.

The new Volvo V90 is a surefooted off-road performer. Enabling this off-roading prowess is the proprietary Instant Traction system. This service uses special sensors to keep an eye on several important performance measures. 

The spacious Volvo XC90 can be the perfect high-end SUV for you. There are a lot of interior features to take advantage of. You’ll have room for plenty of passengers and can enjoy the quality materials, too.

There are three rows for passengers, sitting up to seven inside of the XC90. The first two rows are spacious while the third is best suited for kids and smaller adults. You can look forward to leatherette as the standard upholstery or upgrade to leather. 

There are few certified pre-owned car buying programs that are as highly regarded as the Volvo Certified Pre-Owned program. That is for a few good reasons as explained below.

When you drive away with a vehicle from the Volvo Certified Pre-Owned program, you know that it has already pass a detailed inspection that covers 170 issues. You also will not waste any time considering vehicles that have too many miles on them because all Volvo Certified Pre-Owned cars have less than 80,000 miles right out of the gate.  

No matter how many anti-theft devices the manufacturer of your vehicle has included in your new ride, there are still some additional steps that you can take to further protect your vehicle. Let's take a closer look:

• A lot of people forget their keys in their vehicle. You're basically handing your vehicle over to a thief when you do this. Refrain from hiding a spare key under your seat or in your glove box. A thief knows to look for this.

Our last post shared some ways you can improve the fuel efficiency of your Volvo. Well, we here at Volvo Cars Marin are back with some more fuel efficient tips for Madera drivers:

• When you follow a vehicle closely, you find yourself braking and reaccelerating more often with their speed changes. Every time you reaccelerate, your engine uses more fuel. Increase your following distance to give yourself more space to coast when they slow down, and then you won't need to reaccelerate as much.
• Your engine is the least efficient when it's cold.

As we go about our daily drives, fuel efficiency is definitely something we all keep in mind. Volvo Cars Marin would like to offer Madera drivers some tips to make their drives a little more fuel efficient. Try some of these with your Volvo:

• Extra weight from luggage means extra power is needed from your engine. Try limiting yourself to only what you need for your trip.
