EX40 Comfort and climate

Peace of mind in your demanding day.

Top view illustration of the EX40 multi-zone climate system.

Multi-zone climate controls

Our standard two-zone climate system allows the driver and passenger to set their own temperatures. The car will optimise fan speed and air distribution, but you can still make manual adjustments.

Use the Volvo Cars app to remotely warm or cool the cabin before you get in. With standard heated seats, you can warm the front seats and steering wheel and de-ice the windscreen and door mirrors. Optimise range by pre-conditioning the cabin while the car is charging.

Air purification technology

Air purification technology with an advanced filter keeps incoming air clear of dust, pollen and harmful PM2.5 particles. When the system’s air quality sensor detects high levels of hazardous gases outside, it automatically shuts the air intakes and activates cabin air re-circulation.

Child locks and seats in the Volvo EX40.

Child seats and locks

This family-friendly SUV is equipped with ISOFIX anchorages for child seats.

Power child lock
The rear doors and rear power windows can also be locked from the driver’s seat to prevent them from being opened from the inside.

Child safety recommendations
Our approach to child safety includes rigorous testing based on real-life traffic situations. That's why we strongly recommend keeping kids in rear-facing child seats until they’re at least four years old.

Wireless phone charger

Pop your phone on the standard charging pad at the front of the centre console. It fits larger phones and delivers enough power for quick top-ups.

USB-C ports

Charge devices using the two USB-C ports at the front of the centre console. There are two more at the rear of the console.

Power outlet

Run an electric cooler, air mattress pump or camping stove using the 12-volt power outlet in the boot.

EX40 Safety and driver support

For your most precious cargo. ^[]

Help avoid collisions

Day or night, our intelligent safety assistance technology can help you detect and avoid other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and large animals. It does this by first warning the driver and then autobraking if the driver fails to react.

Detects and corrects drifting

If you start drifting across the centre line, a collision with an oncoming vehicle is always a risk. Your car can detect this and correct the steering, helping you back to a safer position on the road.

Stay in lane

Your Volvo car can send a subtle vibration through the steering wheel and help steer you back to the centre if you unintentionally start drifting out of your lane.

Ease stress in busy traffic

Our blind spot information system (BLIS) provides active support when changing lanes. If there is a risk of collision with other vehicles in the adjacent lane, BLIS can subtly adjust steering, helping keep you, your car and your loved ones where you mean to be.

Reverse with confidence

Cross traffic alert with autobrake supports the driver when reversing with limited view. The system can detect vehicles crossing behind yours and automatically brake the car if needed.

360° parking view

With four cameras providing a 360° view, our system can help you park confidently even in confined spaces.

Safety features complement safe driving practices and are not intended to enable or encourage distracted, aggressive, or otherwise unsafe or illegal driving. Cross traffic alert may have limited functionality in certain situations. Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. Ultimately, the driver is responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle at all times.

EX40 Charging solutions

Big and little ways to make charging feel routine.

Top up on time

A 20 per cent charge can trigger a charging reminder to help you top up on time. With the reminder, your car offers to list nearby public charging stations on your centre display. Select a station and enjoy turn-by-turn navigation plus an estimated time of arrival and expected charge level on arrival.
