INTRODUCING

The new Volvo XC40

MEET THE NEW VOLVO XC40

The compact SUV, by Volvo Cars.

Introducing the new Volvo XC40 – European Car of the Year 2018 – the small SUV that’s big on innovation. With expressive design, ingenious storage and smart technology, it’s built for city life.

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.
Technology

Your smart partner

Intuitive tech that’s as connected as you are

Smart technology

Technology has a human feel in the Volvo XC40. From the easy-to-use centre touch screen to the high-resolution driver display and voice control that understands normal speech, it’s there to make things less complicated. It’s as natural as using your phone.

Andreas Ropel - Attribute Leader, Digital User Experience

“Everything starts with people at Volvo Cars. That’s why technology in the Volvo XC40 feels human and natural”
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. 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

Own the city

Good visibility and agile handling, for confidence on city streets

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.
In-car Delivery

Shopping made easy

Online shopping delivered to your Volvo XC40

A smarter way to shop

In-Car Delivery saves you time and reduces environmental impact. It uses the connectivity of the Volvo XC40 to allow online shopping to be delivered to the trunk of your car while it’s parked, so you don’t have to wait around for a parcel to arrive, or travel to pick it up from a collection point.

Tommy Hansson Strand - Director of new business & connected services

“It’s about flexibility. You could even have your shopping delivered to your car at the beach”

Safe. Secure. Simple

Once you’ve signed up for In-Car Delivery, you simply select it as the delivery option when you shop online. You choose the delivery time and location and the delivery company uses a one-time access code to unlock and lock the trunk of your Volvo XC40. It’s shopping made easy.
SUV capability

Ready for action

True SUV character, with high ground clearance and large wheels

Stand tall

High ground clearance gives the Volvo XC40 a powerful stance and excellent visibility. Large wheels and tyres cope effortlessly with any road. This is the SUV that allows you to rise above it all.
Car sharing

It’s good to share

Let others use your Volvo XC40 with simple, secure car sharing

Sharing, by Volvo Cars

Share your Volvo XC40 easily with friends, family and colleagues by giving them access via their phone or mobile device and the Volvo On Call app. Not having to hand over a physical key opens up a world of possibilities and, as you’d expect from Volvo Cars, it couldn’t be simpler, safer or more secure.
