BELIEVE THE HYPE

The interior of the XC40 was inspired by talking to people all over the world about how they use their cars. The result is a versatile space full of ingenious storage features that help keep your car clutter free. The bin under the front centre armrest is large enough to hold a small handbag or a full-size tissue box, for example, and there’s a storage space on the tunnel console where a mobile phone can be stored and wirelessly charged.

The load compartment of the XC40 is one of the largest in its class, with a volume of 586 litres to the head lining. It’s versatile, too, with a floor that can be folded to keep items separate, locked in place to provide secure storage underneath, or removed entirely for maximum space. Loading and unloading is easy thanks to features such as the availability of a hands-free, power-operated tailgate. Simply move your foot under the rear bumper to open or close it automatically.

The XC40 has support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This allows you to use some of your phone’s functions on the move via the car’s touch screen, steering wheel controls or through voice control, intuitively and safely. You can even write text messages, make a call, listen to music and use app-based navigation, so there’s no need to pick up your phone while you’re driving.

Light is precious to us in Sweden, which is why the interior of the Volvo XC40 is designed to allow natural light to flood in. The optional panoramic roof fills the interior with natural light by day. You can also add mood-enhancing LED interior lighting that highlights the beautifully sculpted dashboard and exclusive decor panels at night.

Our lightweight powertrains are the perfect combination of responsive performance, low emissions and efficient fuel consumption. The basis for each is a turbocharged engine, matched with an automatic transmission.

City Safety, standard on the XC40, is like having a co-pilot looking out for you. It identifies other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and large animals ahead, warning you if a collision is imminent. If you don’t react in time, it will brake automatically to help avoid or mitigate a collision.

*Please note: the driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, the functions described here are only supportive. 

The high seating position of the XC40 gives great visibility when driving in the city. Together with agile handing and responsive steering, you always feel in control. Models with intelligent all-wheel drive technology provide extra traction, with minimal increase in fuel consumption or emissions.

We have a range of accessories to make the XC40 even more useful. Load compartment mats help you keep your interior looking smart, while a protective steel grille helps you transport bulky loads safely and securely. For cyclists there’s a strong, lightweight bicycle holder, and a towbar that slides out electrically when needed if you need to tow.

For a look that’s even more expressive, opt for the exterior styling kit. It includes front and rear skid plates that emphasise the authentic SUV attitude of the XC40, and special door mouldings that create an even tougher look at the sides.

In the XC40, a high seating position and excellent visibility put you in command of the driving experience, while uncluttered design and intuitive technology help reduce distraction. The focal point is a portrait-format touch screen that has bold, clear graphics, and which is so responsive you can use it wearing gloves. The voice control function understands normal speech, rather than set prompts, making it easy to use on the move.
