XC40 Comfort and climate

Peace of mind in your demanding day.

Multi-zone climate controls

Our standard one-zone climate system lets you choose your preferred cabin temperature. The car will optimize fan speed and air distribution, but you can still make manual adjustments.

Opt for a two-zone climate system to allow the driver and passenger to set their own temperatures.

Use the Volvo Cars app to remotely warm or cool the cabin before you get in.

Air purification technology

Fine particulate matters (PM 2.5) are a health impairing air pollutant. By efficiently helping to reduce or eliminate the levels of PM 2.5 inside your Volvo, our air purifier significantly contributes to a clean cabin environment. This advanced technology traps these extremely small particles in a filter and can stop up to 95% from entering the cabin. The levels of PM 2.5 particles in the cabin are constantly being monitored by an optical sensor and shown in the center display. You can also compare the PM 2.5 levels in the cabin with those outside the car. Using the Volvo Cars app, you can even pre-clean the cabin air and access information on interior air quality before entering the car.

XC40 Safety and driver support

For your most precious cargo. []

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 center 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 center 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.

Available 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.
