The XC90 SUV has been in production since 2002 and has been one of the best selling models within the lineup ever since. The design and technology has progressed over the years, but each and every model remains as safe as a Volvo can be. Most of the pre-owned XC90's at Howard Orloff Volvo in Chicago have been manufactured within the last five years, but we also occasionally have older vehicles available for purchase. 


As every model Volvo manufactures, the XC90 luxury SUV is known for its safety features. In fact, in 1927, Volvo Cars' founders named Safety along with Environmental Care as core values of the company. Ever since then, they've been leaders in the field. New technologies and ideas are constantly being tested in order to take the next generation of Volvos to an even higher level. 


Let's look back at the 2018 used XC90 for example. If you're in the market for this year and model, it's important to research the safety information before making a buying decision. The 2018 XC90 has advanced safety technologies such as integrated turn signal mirrors, traction control, blind spot monitor, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and cross traffic alert. Each of these systems plays their part in keeping you safe and keeping you on the road. That's not where it ends, though. Additional standard safety features include:


  • Anti-lock brakes

  • Brake assist

  • Electronic stability control

  • Child safety locks

  • Front, side, knee, and overhead airbags

  • Seatbelt pretensioners

  • Anti-whiplash technology

  • Security system

  • Intellisafe 


At Howard Orloff Volvo Cars, we have two types of used Volvo XC90s from which to choose: pre-owned vehicles and Certified by Volvo pre-owned vehicles. The difference between the two is that Certified by Volvo XC90s give you increased peace-of-mind due to a meticulous inspection. They go through a program that involves a 165-point inspection, road assessments, and an extensive exterior analysis. To be eligible for this program, the vehicle must have less than 80,000 miles and be less than five years old. Holding them to this high standard ensures you get the most value out of your purchase. 


Certified by Volvo vehicles also come with a 5-year, unlimited mile warranty that's transferable if you decide to sell before the warranty is up. Your vehicle is covered in the case of unexpected electrical or mechanical issues, as long as it's taken to a Volvo Trained Technician.


Take a look at our inventory online and give Howard Orloff Imports a call if we can assist you in any way. Our team looks forward to helping you find your next luxury used vehicle.
