Design

Street smart

Made in Sweden, designed for city life

I designed the Volvo XC40

Ian Kettle, lead exterior designer, talks about his creative process, and how the exterior design of the Volvo XC40 was influenced by sci-fi movies and consumer electronics.

Ian Kettle - Lead exterior designer

“This is a car with a strong character. From day one I referred to it as the ‘Tough Little Robot’. It’s about its stance, surfacing and its sense of playfulness”

Expressive design

The Volvo XC40 is the authentic SUV for the city, by Volvo Cars. Youthful design combines with SUV proportions to create a car that makes a bold statement.
Versatility

Space for life

Life can get messy – your car doesn’t have to. Explore the smart storage features

A place for everything

The Volvo XC40 has smart storage features that make life less complicated, including door bins large enough for laptops and handbags, and an ingenious foldout takeaway hook. There’s even a bin under the centre armrest that will hold a full-size tissue box.

Loads better

Loading and unloading the Volvo XC40 is easy thanks to features such as a hands-free, power-operated tailgate. Simply move your foot under the rear bumper to open or close it automatically. There’s also a foldable, removable load floor and rear backrests that can be folded at the touch of a button.
Safety

Your protector

Discover how the Volvo XC40 helps keep you safe on every journey

An extra pair of eyes

City Safety – standard for every Volvo XC40 – is like having a co-pilot to look 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 then it will brake automatically to help avoid or mitigate a collision.

Keeping you on track

Run-off road Mitigation helps to keep you safe by keeping you on the road. If this innovation detects you are about to leave the road unintentionally, it uses steering input and, if necessary, brake support to guide you back on track.

A vision of safety

Volvo Cars is synonymous with road safety. We put our first safety cage into production in 1944 and created the three-point safety belt back in 1959. We’re still innovating, and our vision is that, by 2020, no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car.
Driving

Be confident

The Volvo XC40 inspires confidence thanks to a high seating position that gives great visibility. Agile handing and responsive steering mean that you always feel in control.

Let the car do the work

Make city driving more relaxing with Pilot Assist. This feature automatically maintains a steady speed and distance to the car in front, and even helps steer the car, keeping you within lane markings.

A reassuring touch

Take control with intelligent all-wheel drive technology that provides extra traction, with minimal increase in fuel consumption or emissions.
Audio

The sound of Sweden

Discover a car that’s made for music

Wired for sound

Enjoy music in the Volvo XC40 with features including a unique air-ventilated woofer that delivers precise, powerful sound. And for an even more immersive experience, choose the optional Harman Kardon Premium Sound audio system – the result of a collaboration with one of the world’s leading audio brands.

Vito Di Fonzo - Lead engineer, audio

“Sound quality is something that everyone can relate to. If it’s good, you’ll feel it”

Design

In command

Interior design that elevates you above the everyday

The command centre

With a raised seating position and uncluttered cabin design, the Volvo XC40 elevates you above the everyday and puts you in control. Beautiful details and carefully selected materials are the mark of true Swedish craftsmanship.

Conny Blommé - senior interior design manager

“The best Scandinavian design solves complex problems in a way that makes things look easy”

Let the light in

The interior of the Volvo XC40 is shaped by a uniquely Swedish appreciation of light. An optional panoramic roof floods the interior with natural light by day. You can also add LED interior lighting that highlights the beautifully sculpted dashboard and exclusive decor panels at night.

CleanZone

Fresh air in the city

Breath clean air wherever you are, with CleanZone

Clean air. Always

CleanZone allows you to breathe clean air inside your Volvo XC40, no matter what the air quality is outside.

It automatically closes the car’s air intakes and switches to air re-circulation if necessary.
