When navigating the challenging driving conditions of New England, it's crucial to have a vehicle equipped with advanced safety features. The 2026 Volvo XC90 is one of the safest mid-size SUVs on the market, offering comprehensive protection for families traveling through unpredictable weather or heavy traffic in Exeter, NH.

Advanced Safety Features

The Volvo XC90 comes standard with a wide array of safety technologies designed to prevent accidents before they happen. Every model includes collision mitigation-front, which automatically applies the brakes when detecting an imminent collision. This feature proves invaluable when driving through congested areas like Portsmouth during rush hour.

The standard blind spot information system monitors hard-to-see areas around your vehicle, alerting you to vehicles in your blind spots. Paired with cross-traffic alert with autobrake, these systems provide extra confidence when changing lanes or backing out of parking spaces in Amesbury, MA.

Pioneering Driver Assistance Technology

Winter driving in areas like Durham, NH requires heightened awareness and quick reflexes. The XC90's standard Pilot Assist feature combines adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assistance to reduce driver fatigue during long commutes. This semi-autonomous driving feature maintains a safe following distance while helping keep the vehicle centered in its lane.

The Lane Keeping Aid with Run-off Road Mitigation actively helps prevent unintentional lane departures—particularly useful on winding coastal roads near York, ME. If the system detects you're about to leave the road, it provides steering assistance and, if necessary, applies the brakes.

Enhanced Visibility and Awareness

Poor visibility during New England's frequent rain and snowstorms can make driving treacherous. The XC90 addresses this rain-detecting variable intermittent wipers, ensuring clear visibility in any Dover, NH weather.

The standard Aerial View Camera System provides a 360-degree view around your vehicle, making it easier to navigate tight parking spaces in historic downtown areas like Salisbury, MA. Combined with front, rear, and side parking sensors, parallel parking becomes significantly less stressful.
