More in-car apps

Always striving to enhance your Volvo experience, we stay up-to-date and continuously introduce new and useful in-car apps, making your journey more comfortable, more entertaining, increasingly enjoyable and, hopefully, completely hassle-free.


360° parking view

With four cameras providing a 360° view and flank sensors increasing awareness of objects at the side of the car, our system can help you park confidently even in confined spaces.​


Reverse with confidence

Cross-traffic alert with auto brake supports the driver when reversing with limited view. The system can detect vehicles crossing behind and if needed, the auto brake can be applied.*​


Ease stress in busy traffic

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 right where you mean to be.​


Stay in lane

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


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 then autobraking if the driver fails to react.**


Protective body structure

Advanced body structure and a unique battery safety cage are designed to help protect all occupants in a collision as well as to help protect the occupants of other vehicles.​
