While SUVs, by their nature deliver, enhanced versatility, capability, and accommodations, few can equal Volvo's blend of luxury, sophistication, and style. Of course, Volvo SUVs are practical, spacious, and family-friendly, but it's the automaker's signature Scandinavian design and craftsmanship that truly sets them apart. Whether you're looking for the agile maneuverability of a subcompact crossover or the roomy accommodations a three-row mid-size SUV, you can find Volvo SUVs for the wide-ranging needs of discerning Lafayette-area drivers. Here's a quick look at some of their most prominent features.

Advanced Safety Features

Volvo has long been renowned for its commitment to safety and innovation. Every Volvo SUV comes standard with several advanced IntelliSafe driver-assistance technologies, including:

  • Volvo City Safety (forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking)
  • Run-off Road Mitigation
  • Lane Keeping Aid
  • Road Sign Information
  • Automatic high beam control

And for the 2021 model year, Blind Spot Information System and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are also standard across the lineup. The Volvo XC60 adds Oncoming Lane Mitigation and Driver Attention Warning to the standard features list, and the XC90 further adds the Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system with adaptive cruise control and lane-centering technologies.
