Winter in Michigan is no cake walk. For several months, drivers from this upper Midwest state must contend with a ream of challenging road conditions. From slick ice to deep snow, we and our cars trudge through it all.

Slick, cold, snowy weather conditions are inevitable in this part of the country. However, there are ways you can prepare your Volvo for winter road conditions in Michigan.

1. Winter Tires: Even if your Volvo has all-wheel drive, we recommend installing a set of winter tires for the colder season. These tires are designed and constructed with special tread patterns and rubber compounds to ensure grip in even the worst weather conditions.

Among all the trims and packages available for the 2019 Volvo XC60, the XC60 T5 Momentum is among the most popular. Despite having the lowest starting price of the available trims, the XC60 T5 Momentum offers a strong list of standard features and a robust base level of performance. Whether you've picked the SUV for comfort or convenience, you may be able to find exactly what you need in the T5 Momentum.

These vehicles offer a great many traits that prepared them for challenging cold-weather elements. Plus, they're developed in Sweden, where winter driving is a part of life.

If there's one thing you can count on across the board when it comes to new Volvo models, it's pragmatic engineering matched by handsome design. Each new model is an example of function and function working together. If you want large interior space for family outings or bulkier cargo, there's only one to turn to.

The 2019 Volvo XC90 offers more interior space than any other model. It's an SUV designed for a variety of lifestyles, from family life to active luxury.
