Volvo Test Drives in Roanoke, VA

Thinking about buying a Volvo? The smartest way to know if it’s right for you isn’t scrolling specs or watching reviews – it’s taking one for a spin. At Berglund Volvo of Roanoke in Roanoke, VA, we believe the test drive is where everything clicks. It’s the moment a vehicle goes from a list of features to something real. Whether you’re checking out the family-ready Volvo XC90, the urban agility of the Volvo XC40, or the sleek confidence of the Volvo S60, getting behind the wheel tells you what no online review ever could.

We’ve put together this guide to help you make the most of your visit. From what to expect during a test drive to how to prepare, here’s everything you need to know about why test-driving a Volvo is your most important step.

Make It Real: Why a Test Drive Is Key

Looking at Volvo models online only gets you so far. Driving one on the road in Roanoke, VA, gives you the real picture.

Here’s why a test drive is worth your time:

• Feel how the steering and brakes respond on real-world roads – not just in a showroom.
• See how the cabin handles road noise, visibility, and comfort.
• Try out features like Apple CarPlay®, the digital cockpit, and Volvo’s infotainment system for yourself.
• Get a sense of how tech like Volvo Pilot Assist supports your everyday driving style.
• Compare multiple Volvo models back-to-back to find what fits your life best.

Driving through the Blue Ridge region gives you a real sense of how each Volvo handles curves, climbs, and commutes. Whether you're testing the Volvo XC60 or another model from our Volvo inventory, your test drive is the most honest review there is.
