City Safety with Steering Support

Looking out for you and braking or helping to steer away if necessary, City Safety adds to relaxed control. This Volvo safety innovation detects other vehicles as well as pedestrians, cyclists and large animals – day or night. City Safety supports you with audible, visible and brake pulse warnings when needed. If a collision is imminent or if you should turn into the path of an oncoming vehicle in an intersection, City Safety can brake automatically to help you avoid or mitigate an impact. The Steering Support function helps you take evasive action at speeds between 31 and 62 mph. As you begin to steer away from an obstacle in front, City Safety can help you make this manoeuvre as efficient as possible by braking the inner wheels individually and reinforcing your steering input.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

Oncoming Lane Mitigation

Using automatic steering assistance, this system helps you avoid collisions with oncoming vehicles. If you drift across the lane markings in the way of an oncoming vehicle, your car steers back.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

Oncoming Mitigation by Braking

The Oncoming Mitigation by Braking is a Volvo safety world first that can detect if a vehicle heads straight towards your car on the wrong side of the road. If a collision can’t be avoided, it will brake your car automatically to further help reduce the effects of an impact.

Lane Keeping Aid

Lane Keeping Aid adds convenience and safety to motorway driving. If you're about to cross a lane marking without using the indicator, it will gently steer your car back into the lane. If the steering intervention is not enough or you keep steering across the lane markings, you'll be alerted with vibrations in the steering wheel. Constantly monitoring your position on the road, Lane Keeping Aid provides smooth support at speeds between 40 and 124 mph.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

Run-off road Mitigation

Run-off road Mitigation helps prevent you from leaving the road accidentally. If you stray over the outer lane marking or the road edge, it will support you in helping to steer the car back on the road. If needed, this Volvo safety innovation will also activate the brakes to help keep you on the road. Run-off road Mitigation operates at speeds between 40 and 87 mph.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

Driver Alert Control

Driver Alert Control gently alerts if your driving behaviour shows signs of distraction or tiredness. If needed, it will give you an audible warning and a message on the instrument panel suggesting you take a break. Active at speeds over 40 mph, a camera checks the road ahead while Driver Alert Control monitors your steering inputs to see how they compare to your regular driving style. Combined with Sensus Navigation, it can also propose a nearby place to have a break.
Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

Road Sign Information

Road Sign Information helps keep you updated on current trafﬁc restrictions. Using a camera or information from the Sensus navigation system, it alerts you on speed limits, "no overtaking", "no entry" and various types of supplementary signs. The road sign is displayed on the speedometer or in the head-up display. If you exceed the speed limit, Road Sign Information can alert you with a ﬂashing speed limit sign icon. It can also inform you about speed cameras. And if you drive in the wrong direction on a one-way street, you'll be alerted with a no-entry sign icon.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

IntelliSafe Surround

IntelliSafe Surround can support in busy traffic and when reversing where there's restricted visibility. When a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly in a lane on either side of your car, BLIS™ can alert via a light in the left or right door mirror. If you don't react to the warning and start to drift into the path of another vehicle, the Steer Assist function can gently assist you back into your lane. The rear-mounted radar sensors continuously monitor your blind spots and a large area behind your car, day or night, and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. If there's crossing traffic when you reverse out of a parking space, Cross Traffic Alert can draw your attention with audible warnings from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by graphics in the centre display. The rear-mounted radar sensors can detect vehicles approaching from the side. If a vehicle is detected, Cross Traffic Alert can warn you, and then brake for you if necessary to help avoid or mitigate a collision. In optimal circumstances, it can also help detect approaching cyclists and pedestrians. Rear Collision Warning can alert fast-approaching vehicles if they drive too close and a collision is imminent. If a collision can’t be avoided, the front safety belts will be tensioned to help keep passengers in a correct position. The brakes will also activate if your car is at a standstill to further help reduce the risk of whiplash injury.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, these are only supportive functions.

BLIS™ blind spot information with Steer Assist and Cross Traffic Alert with autobrake

BLIS™ supports when you have to change lanes in busy traffic by helping to alert you of vehicles in your left and right blind spots and providing steering assistance if needed. And to make it easier to reverse out of a parking space, Cross Traffic Alert can alert and brake for crossing vehicles. When a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly in a lane on either side of your car, BLIS™ can alert via a light in the left or right door mirror. If you don't react to the warning and start to drift into the path of another vehicle, the Steer Assist function gently can assist you back into your lane. The rear-mounted radar sensors continuously monitor your blind spots and a large area behind your car, day or night, and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. If there's crossing traffic when you reverse out of a parking space, Cross Traffic Alert can draw your attention with audible warnings from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by graphics in the centre display. The rear-mounted radar sensors detect vehicles approaching from the side. If a vehicle is detected, Cross Traffic Alert can warn you, and then brake for you if necessary to help avoid or mitigate a collision. In optimal circumstances, it can also detect approaching cyclists and pedestrians. BLIS™ and Cross Traffic Alert are part of IntelliSafe Surround.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, these are only supportive functions.

Rear Collision Warning with braking at standstill

Rear Collision Warning keeps you one step ahead of the traffic. By activating all indicator lights at a rapid rate, fast-approaching vehicles are alerted if they drive too close and a collision is imminent. If a collision can’t be avoided, the front safety belts will be tensioned just before the impact to help keep passengers in a correct position. The brakes will also activate if your car is at a standstill to further reduce the risk of whiplash injury. Rear Collision Warning with braking at standstill is part of IntelliSafe Surround.

IntelliSafe Assist

Distance Alert

Supplementing the Adaptive Cruise Control, this function helps you keep a proper distance to the vehicle in front and alerts with a warning light in the optional head-up display if you come too close.

Preventive safety

Speed limiter

The speed limiter helps ensure that you don't exceed a set speed. When you reach the set speed you'll be notified by a subtle resistance feedback from the accelerator. To override the function, just press down the accelerator.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

Electronic Stability Control, ESC

Adding to your control, Electronic Stability Control helps optimise traction and minimise the risk of skids at all speeds in all conditions. And by counteracting understeer and oversteer, it also contributes to safer and more fun cornering characteristics. Electronic Stability Control can detect a potential skid and take action to prevent it by reducing engine power and/or braking the appropriate wheels. It also senses body roll movement to reduce the risk of losing traction in emergency manoeuvres and sharp corners. And when you brake on surfaces with different friction on one side of the car, the car automatically applies slight counter-steering to help you maintain stability. Adding to more dynamic driving characteristics, our Dynamic Torque Vectoring utilises the car's stability reserves to make it respond exceptionally quick and precise to your steering inputs. And our Corner Traction Control with torque vectoring gives more traction during high-speed cornering, less understeer and more powerful acceleration. It works by braking the inside driven wheel if it starts to lose its grip through a corner, while sending the power to the outer wheel instead. Understeer Control Logic is another innovative technology that further helps minimise understeer tendencies for more stable and dynamic cornering. And if you’re in the mood to take more control when driving dynamically, select Sport Mode to cut out the engine power reducing function and allow a controlled amount of rear wheel slip.

Connected Safety

Connected Safety is a unique, cloud-based safety feature that can help you to foresee and adapt driving to hazardous situations on the road ahead. Using actual weather and infrastructure information, Connected Safety can alert you with a symbol in the driver display or optional head-up display. You will also be alerted if another connected vehicle on the road ahead of you detects slippery conditions. In that case, a message will be sent from that vehicle to your car via the “cloud”. The same goes if another connected vehicle on the road ahead of you stands still with activated hazard lights, making you aware of that potentially dangerous traffic situation. And if your car detects slippery road conditions, it will share that information via the “cloud” with other nearby connected vehicles. By doing so, your car actually also contributes to enhanced safety for other road users.

Brakes with Hill Start Assist and Automatic Hold

Efﬁcient brakes are vital for your driver conﬁdence and safety. They're also part of the dynamic driving experience and incorporate IntelliSafe technologies as well as convenient features such as Hill Start Assist and an automatic hold function. In an emergency situation, the large anti-lock disc brakes will make all the difference. The brake system is smart too: if you shouldn't brake hard enough, our Emergency Brake Assist ensures maximum braking pressure is applied. And if you suddenly lift off the accelerator or sensors detect an obstacle in front of the car, Ready Alert Brakes instantly moves the brake pads closer to the brake discs to reduce the total stopping distance. Adding to your convenience, our automatic hold function keeps the brakes engaged after you have braked the car to standstill and release the brake pedal. And to make it easier and safer to start uphill or downhill from standstill, Hill Start Assist keeps the brakes applied a short period after you have released the brake pedal until you press the accelerator – your car will not move while your foot moves from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

Emergency Brake light and Hazard Warning

Our Emergency Brake Light helps alert vehicles approaching from behind if you are forced to panic brake. It works above 31 mph and knows the difference between normal and panic braking. If it is a panic stop, the brake lights will flash at a rate of four times per second, which will telegraph a clear message to following traffic that there’s a potential problem ahead. Once you slow to below 6 mph, the brake lights stop pulsing and your hazard lights take over.

RSC™ roll stability control

Our RSC™ roll stability control senses and helps prevent an impending roll-over accident. If required, it cuts engine power or brakes one or more of the wheels just enough to reduce the centrifugal force and help regain your car's balance.

Safety cage in high-strength steel

The body of your Volvo helps provide maximum protection in all types of accidents. You and your passengers are surrounded by an extremely strong safety cage, while front and rear deformation zones help reduce the effects of an impact. The sturdy safety cage helps keep the occupant space intact in a crash and is made from one of the strongest types of steel available. Together with the energy-dissipating front and rear crumple zones and the car's interior restraint technologies, this helps protect the people inside your Volvo in any collision. In a side-collision, our side-impact protection system SIPS™ distributes the crash force across a large portion of the car’s body to further reduce the risk of injury. And in a roll-over accident, the strong roof construction helps protect the occupants.

Power parking brake

The easily operated power parking brake adds to your driving comfort. Just pull the control upwards to activate the parking brake. It can also be set to engage automatically every time you stop the engine. The parking brake releases automatically as you move off – very convenient, particularly in steep gradients. You can also release it manually by pressing the control downwards. Further adding to your convenience, our automatic hold function keeps the parking brake engaged after you have braked the car to standstill.

Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (iTPMS)

Our Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System instantly alerts you on the driver display if a tyre is low on pressure, helping to maintain safe handling. The system is active from 18 mph.

Automatically dimmed inner and outer rear view mirrors

The inner rear view mirror and the door mirrors dim simultaneously to help prevent you from being dazzled by the headlights of traffic behind. Once the blinding light ceases, the mirror glass reverts to normal mode automatically.

LED Headlights

LED illumination optimises your vision without dazzling others. Our signature design LED headlights combine distinctive looks with a supremely long and wide light pattern, automatically flicking between high and low beam when you meet or catch up with another vehicle. They're intelligent too: the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign it stays on. During daytime, the distinctive T-shaped light guides act as daytime running lights to make your car more conspicuous. And when needed, the dipped headlights are automatically engaged. Contributing to improved fuel economy and lower running costs, the LED lights are extremely energy efficient and last the lifetime of the car without losing any luminance.

LED headlights with Active Bending Lights

Our most advanced LED headlights provide exceptional light, help you see through corners and optimise your vision without dazzling others by constantly adapting the light pattern. As you steer, the headlights turn to illuminate the curve ahead. LED illumination allows you to enjoy high beam with even greater radiation and range. And you can stay on high beam all the time – when you meet or catch up another car, the headlights shade out just as much of your beam as needed to not dazzle the other driver. The greater illuminated area also benefits other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists. The headlights are intelligent too: the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign it stays on. This feature also includes fog lamps that help improve your vision when driving in fog or heavy precipitation. And facilitating low speed manoeuvring and reversing in the dark, they turn up to 15 degrees as you steer to illuminate the area close to the car. They also complement the distinctive design of your Volvo. Included in the Full LED headlights for all model variants except the plug-in hybrid variants.

Fog lamps

Optionally available for the LED headlights, these fog lamps help improve your vision when driving in fog or heavy precipitation. They also complement the distinctive design of your Volvo.

Alcohol lock preparation

An alcohol lock is an effective way of preventing your car from being started by a drunk driver behind the steering wheel. This software update makes it easy to install an alcohol lock in your Volvo. This software also integrates the alcohol lock device with the car’s other functions. For example, alcohol lock step by step instructions can be shown in the centre display. Please note that this is only a preparation that must be supplemented with an alcohol lock system from Dräger or ACS Alcohol Countermeasure Systems.

Temporary Spare Wheel

Designed for temporary use and a maximum speed of 50 mph, this spare wheel saves both space and weight. For your convenience, a jack and wheel bolt tool are included.

Temporary Mobility Kit

In the event of a puncture in the tyre’s tread you can seal it temporarily with this emergency repair kit. It includes an electric air compressor and sealing fluid, conveniently stored under the load compartment floor. The compressor can also be used to check and adjust the tyre pressure. Maximum speed for the sealed tyre is 50 mph and it should be replaced within 125 miles.

Protective safety

Protective front seats with energy absorbing seat structure

Helping to protect your spine if the car lands hard after an accident, the front seats energy-absorbing functionality can cushion severe vertical forces. Integrated anti-submarining protection helps reduce the risk of sliding under the safety belt in a collision. The ﬁxed head restraints help offer outstanding protection regardless of a person’s height.

Brake pedal release

In certain frontal collisions, the brake pedal is designed to release and move down to the floor to help reduce the risk for injuries on the right foot and leg when the foot is on the brake pedal. This Volvo safety innovation is triggered by the same sensors that activate the safety belt pre-tensioners and airbags when needed.

SIPS™ side impact protection system

SIPS™ side impact protection system helps protect you and your passengers in a side-collision. The body's steel framework displaces the impact of a side-collision away from the occupants to other parts of the car body. The extremely strong side structure helps withstand a severe side impact – even with a larger vehicle. The Inﬂatable Curtain and the front seat side airbags interact with the SIPS™ to help provide further protection for the front seat occupants. In the rear, SIPS™ and the Inﬂatable Curtain help protect the passengers in the outer rear seats.

Inflatable Curtain

Our Inflatable Curtain helps protect your head and neck in a side collision or roll-over. Helping to provide protection for occupants sitting on the sides including the third row, it deploys from the roof above the doors and rear-most side windows. The Inflatable Curtain also helps protect in some frontal collisions and stays inflated for several seconds to provide prolonged protection in the event of secondary impacts.

Energy-absorbing interior

All the panels and door sides are padded with energy-absorbing materials to help reduce the risk of injury to the car’s passengers.

Safety belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters

A Volvo innovation, the three-point safety belts are the foremost safety feature inside your car. In a collision or roll-over, pre-tensioners instantly tighten the belts to keep the occupants tightly restrained. They then release a little to reduce the strain. This also means that the driver and front passenger are cushioned by the airbags in a controlled fashion. To help ensure maximum protection for you and your passengers, the safety belts also interact with the steering wheel column and supplementary restraint technologies such as the side airbags and the Inflatable Curtain.

Collapsible steering column

The steering column is an advanced part of the safety system, with the upper and lower sections giving way in a controlled manner in a frontal impact to help protect the driver.

ROPS™ roll-over protection system

In a rollover situation, the unique roof construction helps protect the occupants. Meanwhile, our ROPS™ system instantly activates the safety belt pre-tensioners and the Inflatable Curtain to provide additional protection for you and your passengers.

WHIPS™ whiplash injury protection system

WHIPS™ is a Volvo safety innovation that efficiently helps reduce the risk of whiplash injury if your car is hit from behind. At an impact, the entire front backrest and head restraint moves with the occupant to support the neck.

Warning triangle

Conveniently fitted on the inside of the tailgate, the warning triangle is always easily accessible – no matter how much luggage you have in the load compartment. This lightweight wide-angle reflector stands upright to alert other road users even in strong winds and on slippery surfaces. It folds easily and stores in its own case.

Side airbags

In a side-collision, the side airbags inflate instantly to help protect the chest and hip of the driver and front seat passenger. The side airbags are located in the ideal spot on the front seat backrest.

Prepared front safety belts

When your Volvo detects an imminent collision or run-off road accident, our prepared front safety belts tighten electrically to help provide maximum protection. If a collision is avoided, the front safety belts unroll again without needing to be serviced.

Knee airbag, driver side

Further helping to protect the driver’s lower legs in the event of a frontal collision, there’s a knee airbag installed above the pedals. The knee airbag is deployed together with the other airbags and supplements the safety belt, the safety belt pre-tensioner, the brake pedal release and the integrated knee protection under the dashboard to help optimise protection.

First-aid kit

Make sure you are carrying the emergency items you need with this handy first-aid kit. Conveniently carried in the load compartment and containing a variety of bandages, the kit’s contents are stored in different compartments making it easier and quicker to locate items.

Dual-stage airbags, driver and front passenger

Together with the safety belts, the frontal airbags help protect your head, face and chest in a frontal collision. They're intelligent too: to optimise protection, the airbags adapt the level of inflation to the force of the impact. And if the impact is low enough that the airbags aren’t needed, the system will just deploy safety belt pre-tensioners if necessary. To make it possible to mount a child seat in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag can easily be disconnected using a cut-off switch.

Automatic braking after a collision

Helping to reduce the risk for more damage and injury after a collision – like colliding into other cars or people – your Volvo brakes automatically when the safety belt pre-tensioners or an airbag are activated.

Run-off road protection

Your Volvo helps protect in a run-off road accident. If a road departure is unavoidable, the front safety belts tighten to help keep you safely positioned. Our unique front seat structure helps protect your spine if the car lands heavily. An energy-absorbing functionality between the seat and seat frame deforms to cushion the vertical forces. This Volvo safety innovation together with a robust body structure and our other restraint technologies helps provide the best protection in a collision.

Safety cage in high-strength steel

The body of your Volvo helps provide maximum protection in all types of accidents. You and your passengers are surrounded by an extremely strong safety cage, while front and rear deformation zones help reduce the effects of an impact. The sturdy safety cage helps keep the occupant space intact in a crash and is made from one of the strongest types of steel available. Together with the energy-dissipating front and rear crumple zones and the car's interior restraint technologies, this helps protect the people inside your Volvo in any collision. In a side-collision, our side-impact protection system SIPS™ distributes the crash force across a large portion of the car’s body to further reduce the risk of injury. And in a roll-over accident, the strong roof construction helps protect the occupants.

Designed for maximum comfort, each of the three individual seats on the second row can be reclined to suit personal preferences. When needed, each seat also folds individually into the load compartment floor for maximum versatility. In the seven-seater, each seat also slides individually to further enhance legroom in the third row of seats or create more load space. The middle seat can slide forward for even better elbow space in the outer seats or to put a child in the optional integrated booster cushion in closer contact with parents in the front seats.

Third seat row

The third row of seats makes it possible to comfortably accommodate up to six passengers whenever the need arises. The two individual seats are generously proportioned to offer class-leading comfort and ample legroom for two passengers up to 170 cm. The two seats are centred close to each other to give the occupants a good front view. To facilitate getting in and out of the third row, the outer backrests on the second row fold conveniently and the seat can be pushed forward. And when the seats are not needed or you need extra load space, each seat is easily folded completely into the load compartment floor.

Integrated booster cushion

Our integrated booster cushion conveniently folds up to provide safe and comfortable seating for children over 3 years. When not in use, the booster cushion is kept neatly out of sight in the second-row centre seat cushion. The booster cushion puts the child at a good position for the safety belt. It's comfortable to sit on and give the child a better view. In the seven-seater variant, the child can be moved forward closer to the adults in the front.

Driver's support

IntelliSafe Surround

IntelliSafe Surround can support in busy traffic and when reversing where there's restricted visibility. When a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly in a lane on either side of your car, BLIS™ can alert via a light in the left or right door mirror. If you don't react to the warning and start to drift into the path of another vehicle, the Steer Assist function can gently assist you back into your lane. The rear-mounted radar sensors continuously monitor your blind spots and a large area behind your car, day or night, and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. If there's crossing traffic when you reverse out of a parking space, Cross Traffic Alert can draw your attention with audible warnings from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by graphics in the centre display. The rear-mounted radar sensors can detect vehicles approaching from the side. If a vehicle is detected, Cross Traffic Alert can warn you, and then brake for you if necessary to help avoid or mitigate a collision. In optimal circumstances, it can also help detect approaching cyclists and pedestrians. Rear Collision Warning can alert fast-approaching vehicles if they drive too close and a collision is imminent. If a collision can’t be avoided, the front safety belts will be tensioned to help keep passengers in a correct position. The brakes will also activate if your car is at a standstill to further help reduce the risk of whiplash injury.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, these are only supportive functions.

And to make it easier to reverse out of a parking space, Cross Traffic Alert can alert and brake for crossing vehicles. When a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly in a lane on either side of your car, BLIS™ can alert via a light in the left or right door mirror. If you don't react to the warning and start to drift into the path of another vehicle, the Steer Assist function gently can assist you back into your lane. The rear-mounted radar sensors continuously monitor your blind spots and a large area behind your car, day or night, and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. If there's crossing traffic when you reverse out of a parking space, Cross Traffic Alert can draw your attention with audible warnings from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by graphics in the centre display. The rear-mounted radar sensors detect vehicles approaching from the side. If a vehicle is detected, Cross Traffic Alert can warn you, and then brake for you if necessary to help avoid or mitigate a collision. In optimal circumstances, it can also detect approaching cyclists and pedestrians. BLIS™ and Cross Traffic Alert are part of IntelliSafe Surround.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, these are only supportive functions.

Rear park assist

Rear park assist helps you when reversing into tight spaces with restricted vision. As the car gets closer to an obstacle, you're alerted by a warning sound from the rear loudspeakers and a graphical view in the centre display. The frequency of the warning sound increases the closer you get to the obstacle.

Rear and front park assist

Rear and front park assist helps facilitate manoeuvring into tight spaces with restricted vision. As the car gets closer to an obstacle, you're alerted by a pulsating sound from the rear or front loudspeakers and graphics in the centre display. The frequency of the warning sound increases the closer you get to the obstacle.

Park Assist Pilot

Our convenient Park Assist Pilot makes parking enjoyable. It measures the parking space, and if the space is at least 1.2 times the length of your car it can park by taking over the steering. Park Assist Pilot handles both parallel and perpendicular parking, and can also assist when leaving a tight parallel parking space.

Driver adjustable power steering

Included in the drive mode selector, the adjustable power steering allows you to adapt the speed-dependent power steering characteristics to your own personal preferences. While the steering assistance adjusts automatically depending on your car’s speed, you can choose in the centre display between three levels of overall steering feel and sensitivity – for low, medium or high steering assistance through the entire speed range.

Smartphone integration

Use your smartphone in a smarter way and integrate its familiar interface and functions with the centre display in your Volvo. Make calls, write messages, enjoy music and navigate easily using the touch screen, steering wheel controls or voice control. Cable connection via an USB port in the front centre armrest means your battery is charged and you can enjoy the highest sound quality through the audio system. Smartphone integration supports iPhone® (5 or later) via Apple CarPlay as well as Android smartphones (5.0 Lollipop or later via Android Auto.

Rain sensor

The rain sensor can start the windscreen wipers as soon as it begins to rain or if water splashes onto the windscreen. For your convenience, it also adjusts the speed of the windscreen wipers.

Daytime Running Lights with daylight sensor

The Daytime Running Lights help ensure your visibility in daylight. When light conditions change and the headlights are needed, the headlights activate automatically. They will also be activated if you turn on the windscreen wipers or the rear fog light.

Automatically dimmed inner rear-view mirror

The frameless inner rear-view mirror is a true piece of Scandinavian design. Ending the need to take your hand off the steering wheel and stop headlight beams shining in your eyes, the anti-dazzle function is stepless and returns to normal when it's no longer needed.

Automatically dimmed inner rear-view mirror with compass

Avoid being dazzled with this automatically adjusting frameless rear-view mirror. Adjusts itself to deflect the headlamp beams of the car behind you and when there's no light to dazzle you, it automatically returns to its normal setting.

To assist with navigation, compass direction is continuously displayed in the rear view mirror glass.

Automatically dimmed inner and outer rear view mirrors

The inner rear view mirror and the door mirrors dim simultaneously to help prevent you from being dazzled by the headlights of traffic behind. Once the blinding light ceases, the mirror glass reverts to normal mode automatically.

Power retractable door mirrors

To protect your door mirrors from damage while the car for example is parked or driving through a car wash, press both buttons for the left and right mirror at the same time to fold them flat against the car. They can also be set to fold or unfold automatically every time you lock or unlock the car. And to facilitate parking, the door mirrors can tilt automatically (or by the push of a button) when reversing.

Power windows, front and rear

Everyone inside your Volvo can enjoy the comfort of power windows. Controls are conveniently located in the door armrests. And if you’re travelling with small children, you can lock the rear windows from the driver’s seat.

Speed-dependent power steering

Our speed-dependent steering provides exactly the right level of power assistance to maximise comfort and steering response: firmer steering at highway speeds, lighter in slow traffic. The steering feel can also be tailored with the drive mode control.

Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (iTPMS)

Our Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System instantly alerts you on the driver display if a tyre is low on pressure, helping to maintain safe handling. The system is active from 18 mph.

Wiper blades with integrated washers

These innovative wiper blades enhance your visibility at all speeds by distributing washer fluid evenly and instantly over the windscreen – with no visual disturbance and 50% less washer fluid. Adding heated nozzles, they help ensure visibility in the harshest conditions.

For example listening to online radio, streaming music, browsing the web and – if you have Sensus navigation – sharing your location, spotting local businesses and finding parking. Your Volvo can even book service when it's time. This also means your Volvo already today is technologically prepared for coming web and cloud-based in-car infotainment functions.

Bluetooth® connection

Adding to your convenience and in-car entertainment, the Bluetooth® connection allows you to wirelessly connect your smartphone with your Volvo. Make or answer calls with both hands on the steering wheel, and enjoy audio streaming via the car's audio system. And as you get in and out of the car, the system automatically allows you to switch freely from the phone to the handsfree system and back again.

Volvo On Call

Volvo On Call gives access to convenient services and allows remote control of many of the car’s functions. Just using your phone, you can remotely pre-climatise your parked car, check car status, see its location, send destinations to the navigation system, lock or unlock the doors and much more. And you’ll easily keep track of business trips and store them as driving journals. Whether you've got a flat tyre, have a breakdown or are involved in an emergency, simply press a button to receive assistance. If an airbag deploys or the safety belt pre-tensioners are activated, the Volvo On Call service centre will be alarmed automatically. Volvo On Call can also alert you at attempted break-ins and allows tracking of your car via satellite. The Volvo On Call app is available for your smartphone, iPad and wearables such as Apple Watch and Android Wear with voice control. It can also be used on a Windows 10 based PC or tablet.

Audio systems

High Performance audio system

Created for the acoustics of your Volvo, our High Performance audio system allows you and your passengers to enjoy a really crisp and natural sound. The tweeters, woofers and mid-range speakers are separated and interact to provide excellent sound reproduction. This powerful 220 W audio system with ten speakers is conveniently operated via steering wheel buttons, the centre display with touch screen or voice control.

Harman Kardon Premium Sound

The Harman Kardon Premium Sound delivers a beautifully balanced, powerful sound. This immersive experience is enabled by 14 hi-fi speakers including an air-ventilated subwoofer that produces a bass sound you’ll feel in your body. This high-class audio system is developed together with the hi-fi specialists at Harman Kardon. Powered by a 600W digital amplifier, the 14 speakers are tailored to the acoustics inside your Volvo and deliver a powerful, high fidelity surround sound experience. A unique sound processing software – Dirac® Unison Tuning – optimises the response of each individual speaker as well as the speakers all together to ensure they perform in perfect harmony. So wherever, you're seated, you and your passengers can enjoy a seamless first-class listening experience in all conditions and – not least – an extremely unified and tight bass sound.

Bowers & Wilkins audio system

Our high-end Bowers & Wilkins audio system is created to deliver the most realistic immersive sound possible. Developed with renowned Bowers & Wilkins, this innovative technology brings exceptional clarity and realism to your music – wherever you're seated. Seamlessly integrated in the cabin architecture of your Volvo, the 4:15 digital amplifier, an astonishing 1,400W output and 19 separate high-end speakers – including a tweeter-on-top centre speaker that adds to a pure, detailed treble performance – will surround you with a pristine sound that feels more spacious and true to life than ever. Bowers & Wilkins' exclusive Nautilus Technology reduces noise resonance for an incredibly detailed and engaging listening experience. Several speaker upgrades, such as new Double-Dome aluminium tweeters and the new generation mid-range speaker cones in “Continuum” composite, give an even more relaxed listening experience with a smoother and more natural, less coloured sound reproduction.
And to enable extremely low and undistorted bass tones, the air-ventilated subwoofer uses innovative technology that allows it to pulse enormous amounts of air – without encroaching on load space. Four room modes allow you to recreate the acoustics of a specific room inside your Volvo, bringing you even closer to the music. The room mode ‘Concert Hall’ recreates the unique acoustic experience of the world-famous Gothenburg Concert Hall, while ‘Jazz Club’ resembles the intimacy of a downtown jazz club. The whole experience exudes quality and craftsmanship – most of the speaker panels are in stainless steel, and the new Bowers & Wilkins “Continuum” silver speaker cones are elegantly visible through the mesh.

Audio equipment

Air-ventilated subwoofer

This smoothly integrated air-ventilated sub-woofer allows you to enjoy the depth of uncluttered bass in your Volvo. Using innovative technology, it pulses very large amounts of air through an opening in the rear wheel- arch for very low and undistorted bass tones. To save space, the sub-woofer is thin and integrated in the vehicle architecture to not encroach on load space.

Steering wheel remote control

Control many of the car's functions intuitively while driving without taking your hands off the steering wheel. The right steering wheel remote controls allow you to operate the audio system, phone, messages, menu navigation and trip computer. Voice control is activated at the touch of a button.

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB+)

Luggage compartment

Adjustable rear height

When you load or unload your Volvo SUV, the possibility offered by the optional air-suspension system to lower the rear end of the car with up to 5 cm is very convenient – particularly when you're dealing with heavy items. A push of a button inside the load compartment, and you don't have to lift your loads as high. This feature is also helpful when hitching a caravan or a trailer.

Second seat row

Designed for maximum comfort, each of the three individual seats on the second row can be reclined to suit personal preferences. When needed, each seat also folds individually into the load compartment floor for maximum versatility. In the seven-seater, each seat also slides individually to further enhance legroom in the third row of seats or create more load space. The middle seat can slide forward for even better elbow space in the outer seats or to put a child in the optional integrated booster cushion in closer contact with parents in the front seats.

Manually foldable second seat row

The rear seat backrests and head restraints are easy to fold, and you can enjoy the convenience of a versatile load compartment with a flat floor that facilitates transporting of bulky items as well as loading and unloading.

Flat-folding three-split rear seat

The individual rear seats provide excellent comfort during long journeys and flexibility when required. Each seat backrest folds separately to make it possible to combine both cargo and passengers without compromising on comfort. Each backrest and head restraint only takes one step to fold, and you can enjoy the convenience of multiple load configurations with a complete flat load compartment floor that facilitates transporting of bulky items as well as loading and unloading. And by folding flat the middle seat backrest, you can transport long loads while still carrying passengers in comfort. What's more, the seats in the second row of the seven-seat version can slide forward for even more load space.

Third seat row

The third row of seats makes it possible to comfortably accommodate up to six passengers whenever the need arises. The two individual seats are generously proportioned to offer class-leading comfort and ample legroom for two passengers up to 170 cm. The two seats are centred close to each other to give the occupants a good front view. To facilitate getting in and out of the third row, the outer backrests on the second row fold conveniently and the seat can be pushed forward. And when the seats are not needed or you need extra load space, each seat is easily folded completely into the load compartment floor.

Shopping bag hooks

After shopping, the two integrated folding hooks in the load compartment side panels will take care of up to two shopping bags. They fold out from the side panel at a push. And when retracted, they are completely flush with the side panel to not obstruct when you load or unload your car.

Versatile load compartment

The stylish load compartment gives you plenty of space to bring the luggage you need. To make it really useful, it has a regular shape and the rear-wheel suspension is designed not to intrude on the load area. Four elegant load securing eyelets help you secure your cargo. When not needed, they fold flush with the load compartment wall. And if you need more space, each seat backrest on the second and third row rear folds separately to make it possible to combine both cargo and passengers without compromising on comfort. With all rear seat backrests folded you will have a flat load area of 1,856 litres. The maximum load volume behind the second row of seats in the rear-most position is 1,007 litres, and if you have raised the third row of seats in the seven-seat version you will still have a load compartment of 356 litres.

Power tailgate

With this feature you conveniently open or close the tailgate from the outside using the remote control. It can also be operated via buttons on the tailgate or from the driver seat by pressing a button on the dashboard. Sensors around the tailgate opening help enhance safety when closing the tailgate. The power tailgate can also be programmed to open to a lower height than its maximum, very useful if you park in a garage with limited roof height. And making it easy to open the tailgate when your hands are full, you can add keyless locking that includes the comfortable hands-free opening and closing function of the power tailgate – just move your foot under the rear bumper and the tailgate opens and closes at your convenience.

Keyless entry with hands-free power tailgate opening and closing

Keyless entry gives you full access to your Volvo as long as you bring the remote key with you. The doors and boot lid unlock automatically as you pull the door handle. And to lock the doors, just press a button in any of the car's door handles as you leave the car. This feature also includes hands-free opening and closing of the power-operated boot lid. Simply move your foot under the rear bumper, and the boot lid opens or closes – very convenient when your hands are full.

Load cover, semi-automatic

Effectively concealing your gear in the load compartment, this load cover automatically slides upwards to facilitate loading and unloading while being fully extended – a feature that's particularly convenient in combination with the power tailgate.

Tailgate scuff plate, stainless steel

The elegant tailgate scuff plate in stainless steel adds to the stylish look and feel of your Volvo estate while protecting the load compartment opening when you load or unload your car.

Grocery bag holder

Our convenient grocery bag holder folds up from the load compartment floor to accommodate shopping bags or other cargo – secure with hooks and an elastic strap. When not in use, it's hidden in the floor.

Temporary Mobility Kit

In the event of a puncture in the tyre’s tread you can seal it temporarily with this emergency repair kit. It includes an electric air compressor and sealing fluid, conveniently stored under the load compartment floor. The compressor can also be used to check and adjust the tyre pressure. Maximum speed for the sealed tyre is 50 mph and it should be replaced within 125 miles.

Power outlet, luggage compartment

Connect extra electrical equipment, such as a cooler box, with this 12 V power outlet in the luggage compartment.

Load securing

Protection net

This net helps protect passengers from loose luggage when braking sharply. When it isn't needed, the net can be stored under the load compartment ﬂoor in a convenient storage bag.

Load securing eyelets

Adding to your convenience, these four eyelets help you secure cargo to the load compartment ﬂoor. When not in use, they fold ﬂush with the surrounding space to not impede during loading or unloading.

Towing

360° camera

Our 360° camera adds to peace of mind when you reverse or manoeuver in confined areas with impaired visibility. Six high-definition views are available in the centre display. A convenient bird's eye top view of the car and the surrounding area is default. And when needed, you can choose a rear or front view including a junction view. The rear view also shows guiding lines that indicate your car's trajectory for easier parking. To get a better view of what's happening at your car's side, just select left or right side view. The system uses four cameras: one at each door mirror, one at the front and one at the rear. By touching the camera images on the centre display, you can get a view from just that camera. The rear camera can also be switched to a zoomed-in view close to the car, particularly convenient when hitching a trailer.

Retractable Towbar

Enjoy the convenience of our electrically foldable towbar. A press of a button inside the load compartment, and the towbar folds out. When the towbar is in position, all it requires is a ﬁnal push to secure and you’re ready to go. Folds discreetly away when not in use. If the towbar is not locked in position or if any of the lights on the trailer cease to function, you'll be alerted in the car's driver display. For your safety, the system will also perform a light check before you go. This towbar also includes our Trailer Stability Assist technology. If the trailer begins to snake at speeds above 31 mph, brakes on one or more wheels are applied automatically to help you regain stability and maintain control.

Active chassis with air suspension

Our chassis with air suspension and Four-C technology makes your Volvo even more dynamic and reﬁned. Automatically maintaining ride height and providing superior comfort and handling, it allows you to adapt the chassis to your preferences. Our Four-C technology monitors the car, road and driver 500 times per second, simultaneously adjusting each shock absorber to current road and driving conditions. Together with our self-adapting air suspension for each wheel, this maximises both ride comfort and driving pleasure. Different drive modes increase versatility in all road and weather conditions. In Comfort mode, the chassis is tuned for maximum comfort. At highway speeds, the air suspension automatically lowers the car to reduce drag and further enhance high-speed stability. Eco mode lowers the car, even more at higher speeds for improved aerodynamics and lower fuel consumption. Dynamic mode enhances the car's sporty characteristics with ﬁrmer, more dynamic suspension while lowering the car. And to maximise your capability on rough roads, the Off road mode increases ground clearance by 40 mm at lower speeds. You can also create your own personal settings in the Individual mode. And to make it easier to get in and out of the car, you can easily lower the parked car. When you have to load or unload heavy items or attach a trailer to the tow bar, you can lower the rear of the car by pushing a button inside the load area.

Rear fog lights switched off when trailer fog lights are running

With this option you can conveniently check that the trailer lamps are working before starting off. And when you activate the rear fog lights, your car's rear fog lights shut off and the trailer's fog lights are activated.

Start/Stop technology

The Start/Stop function further reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in the city. When you stop at a traffic light or in a traffic queue, the engine shuts off temporarily to eliminate idling and restarts instantly when you resume driving.

All-wheel Drive (AWD)

Our AWD technology with Instant Traction™ gives you an edge by increasing driving stability and traction – on all road surfaces and in all weathers. As conditions change, wheels with the best grip get the most power to optimise your drive. Under normal conditions practically all the power is distributed to the front wheels to minimise fuel consumption without compromising on stability. And when needed, up to 50% of the engine's power can be distributed to the rear wheels. At standstill, full all-wheel drive is always engaged to prepare for maximum traction. This also facilitates take-off in slippery conditions or if you for example pull a boat trailer up a ramp.

Hill Start Assist

Hill Start Assist allows you to start uphill or downhill without the car moving while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator. It keeps the brakes applied a short period after you've released the brake pedal.

Hill Descent Control

Hill Descent Control offers controlled descents on steep, rough and slippery roads. When activated, it helps you descend smoothly from 5 to 25 mph using engine braking or, if needed, by braking each wheel individually – you just have to steer. You can brake anytime or, if you prefer, accelerate to adapt the speed. The smooth accelerator characteristics of Hill Descent Control also makes it easier to move off when towing a heavy trailer or a boat on a trailer up a ramp. It also works in reverse gear.

Chassis & Steering

Touring Chassis

The chassis of your Volvo is designed to give you a smooth ride and sharp handling, wherever your adventures take you. You're in command, while the high ground clearance and long suspension travel further enhance your comfort and all-road capacity. The aluminium double wishbone front suspension provides perfectly balanced road holding and steering characteristics. The rear suspension in exclusive integral link design and a transverse light-weight leaf spring in composite material ensures superior comfort and excellent handling with neutrally balanced cornering characteristics.

Electronic Stability Control, ESC

Adding to your control, Electronic Stability Control helps optimise traction and minimise the risk of skids at all speeds in all conditions. And by counteracting understeer and oversteer, it also contributes to safer and more fun cornering characteristics. Electronic Stability Control can detect a potential skid and take action to prevent it by reducing engine power and/or braking the appropriate wheels. It also senses body roll movement to reduce the risk of losing traction in emergency manoeuvres and sharp corners. And when you brake on surfaces with different friction on one side of the car, the car automatically applies slight counter-steering to help you maintain stability. Adding to more dynamic driving characteristics, our Dynamic Torque Vectoring utilises the car's stability reserves to make it respond exceptionally quick and precise to your steering inputs. And our Corner Traction Control with torque vectoring gives more traction during high-speed cornering, less understeer and more powerful acceleration. It works by braking the inside driven wheel if it starts to lose its grip through a corner, while sending the power to the outer wheel instead. Understeer Control Logic is another innovative technology that further helps minimise understeer tendencies for more stable and dynamic cornering. And if you’re in the mood to take more control when driving dynamically, select Sport Mode to cut out the engine power reducing function and allow a controlled amount of rear wheel slip.

Driver adjustable power steering

Included in the drive mode selector, the adjustable power steering allows you to adapt the speed-dependent power steering characteristics to your own personal preferences. While the steering assistance adjusts automatically depending on your car’s speed, you can choose in the centre display between three levels of overall steering feel and sensitivity – for low, medium or high steering assistance through the entire speed range.

Speed-dependent power steering

Our speed-dependent steering provides exactly the right level of power assistance to maximise comfort and steering response: firmer steering at highway speeds, lighter in slow traffic. The steering feel can also be tailored with the drive mode control.

Drive modes

Our drive mode control allows you to instantly adapt the powertrain and steering characteristics to your preferences and driving conditions. Comfort, Eco, Dynamic or Off road – switch between the modes with the elegant roller control in the centre console. Comfort mode optimises comfort, while Eco mode calibrates the powertrain and climate system for lowest possible fuel consumption. Dynamic mode is calibrated for sporty driving, with quick engine, gearbox, steering and braking responses. Off road mode facilitates driving on poor roads and in difficult situations. In the Individual mode, you can tailor your own personal drive mode.

Active Four-C Chassis

Our Active Four-C Chassis gives your Volvo an even greater breadth of dynamic ability and comfort. Automatically maintaining handling and comfort in all conditions, it allows you to adapt the chassis to your preferences – Comfort, ECO, Dynamic and Off-road. This technology monitors the car, road and driver 500 times per second. Select any drive mode with a press of a button, and the electronically controlled shock absorbers will support your desired driving characteristics: ”Comfort” for soft shock absorption and smooth body movements, "ECO for maximum fuel efficiency, ”Dynamic” for sportier driving with harder shock absorption, and ”Off-road” for maximum performance on poor roads.

Active chassis with air suspension

Our chassis with air suspension and Four-C technology makes your Volvo even more dynamic and reﬁned. Automatically maintaining ride height and providing superior comfort and handling, it allows you to adapt the chassis to your preferences. Our Four-C technology monitors the car, road and driver 500 times per second, simultaneously adjusting each shock absorber to current road and driving conditions. Together with our self-adapting air suspension for each wheel, this maximises both ride comfort and driving pleasure. Different drive modes increase versatility in all road and weather conditions. In Comfort mode, the chassis is tuned for maximum comfort. At highway speeds, the air suspension automatically lowers the car to reduce drag and further enhance high-speed stability. Eco mode lowers the car, even more at higher speeds for improved aerodynamics and lower fuel consumption. Dynamic mode enhances the car's sporty characteristics with ﬁrmer, more dynamic suspension while lowering the car. And to maximise your capability on rough roads, the Off road mode increases ground clearance by 40 mm at lower speeds. You can also create your own personal settings in the Individual mode. And to make it easier to get in and out of the car, you can easily lower the parked car. When you have to load or unload heavy items or attach a trailer to the tow bar, you can lower the rear of the car by pushing a button inside the load area.

ROPS™ roll-over protection system

In a rollover situation, the unique roof construction helps protect the occupants. Meanwhile, our ROPS™ system instantly activates the safety belt pre-tensioners and the Inflatable Curtain to provide additional protection for you and your passengers.

RSC™ roll stability control

Our RSC™ roll stability control senses and helps prevent an impending roll-over accident. If required, it cuts engine power or brakes one or more of the wheels just enough to reduce the centrifugal force and help regain your car's balance.

Electric power steering

The electric power steering responds precisely to your commands at all speeds. To facilitate parking, it gives a high level of power assistance at low speeds. And as the speed rises, power assistance is progressively reduced to maximise driving pleasure. You can easily adapt the steering characteristics and power assistance to enjoy the ultimate setting for each situation.

Inside

CleanZone

CleanZone lets you and your passengers enjoy clean, healthy cabin air. It monitors incoming air and can shut the cabin's air intakes if harmful substances are detected. A multiﬁlter helps reduce the levels of dust, pollen, particles and chemical odours. And to prepare a fresh cabin environment on a warm day, the automatic CleanZone function helps ventilate the cabin when you unlock the car.

Humidity sensor

Helping to maintain a comfortable cabin climate, the humidity sensor helps ensure cabin air has an appropriate level of humidity in relation to the outside climate. The sensor is located by the interior rearview mirror.

Cabin filter

Preventing dust and pollen from entering the cabin via the ventilation system, the cabin filter efficiently contributes to a healthy cabin climate.
