We designed the XC40 to be at home in the city. Youthful, progressive and with SUV attitude, it is a car that makes a bold statement.
High ground clearance gives the XC40 a powerful stance and excellent visibility. With large wheels and true SUV proportions, this is a car designed to help you rise above it all.
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.
By creating a new type of woofer audio speaker mounted behind the dashboard, rather than on the front doors, we freed up space for unusually long, deep front door pockets that provide lots of storage space. Each is large enough to fit a laptop, or three one-litre drinks bottles. And there's a hook that folds out neatly from the glove compartment that you can hang your bags on, to prevent your food or shopping sliding around on the floor.
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.
Sensus Navigation in the XC40 makes it easy to find where you want to go, with clear guidance on the large centre display. You also get access to navigation-related services and apps that help you find new experiences and places to go at your destination.
The interior of the XC40 is inspired by contemporary street fashion, high-end designer goods and popular culture. It gives the XC40 a playful edge while retaining the attention to detail Scandinavian design is famed for. The textile floor mats are made from 100 per cent recycled material, underlining our commitment to both sustainability and quality.
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.
Enjoy music in the Volvo XC40 with features including a unique air-ventilated woofer that delivers precise, powerful sound, as well as freeing up valuable space for increased storage in the cabin.
For an even more immersive experience, choose the optional Harman Kardon Premium Sound audio system. This collaboration with one of the world's leading audio brands uses Dirac Unison® tuning software to optimise the response of every speaker. Automatic Level Adjustment delivers a seamless listening experience by maintaining a consistent sound level, while special algorithms adjust the output to compensate for external noise.
Enjoy Spotify in the XC40 without connecting your phone with the built-in Spotify app. Controlling it is easy using the centre touch screen. More in-car apps available.
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.
Driving in heavy traffic is more relaxing with Pilot Assist. This feature automatically maintains a steady speed and distance to the car in front, and gives you steering support to help keep the car within lane markings.
Cross Traffic Alert is like being able to see around corners, with radar technology that helps you reverse out of a parking space with increased awareness of approaching vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians behind or around you. Run-off road Mitigation helps keep you safe by detecting if you are about to leave the road accidentally then using steering and, if necessary, braking to help keep you on the road.
*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.
The 21-inch alloy wheels available as an accessory for the XC40 are the strongest expression of the car's tough, urban character. Bold and beautifully crafted, they have a distinctive diamond-cut finish that creates a vibrant contrast between black and silver elements.
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.
