What’s the best Volvo for snow?

We’re fairly new to living in New England and have managed the last few winters with our Jeep. But now, we’re shopping for a Volvo SUV. What’s the best Volvo for snow?

The best Volvos for snow are the
Volvo XC90
or
XC60
(if you are committed to getting an SUV). Both will prove capable winter vehicles if properly equipped with the right tires.
If any
Volvo
will do, your best bet for winter driving may be the Volvo V60. The V60 is an all-wheel drive wagon with super-tight handling and an available winter package that offers special wheels and tires for the best handling.
No matter what car you drive this winter, there are a few seasonal preparations to help its performance in the snow and ice, such as:
  • Getting your vehicle serviced for winter
  • Checking your battery
  • Swapping your regular tires out for snow tires
  • Replace your windshield wipers
  • Pack a winter safety kit
