A helping hand

Volvo's advanced driver assistance technology allows more relaxed driving. It can help you maintain a safe distance from cars in front by adapting your speed and keeping you centred in the lane by providing gentle steer assist. It’s also helpful in stop-and-go traffic and can even alert you if traffic is moving ahead without you after a stop.

Harman Kardon Premium Sound system

Beautiful sound for the senses

This premium optional audio system delivers a refined sound performance you can feel all around you. No matter the genre, it immerses you, moves you and lets you enjoy every moment.

Immerse yourself in music

The system is powered by a 600W digital amplifier and enabled by 13 hi-fi speakers including an air-ventilated subwoofer. Tailored to your Volvo’s interior acoustics, a powerful, immersive sound experience awaits.

Optimised speaker performance

Unique sound processing software – Dirac® Unison Tuning – optimises the response of each individual speaker as well as the speakers as a system, ensuring they perform in perfect harmony.

Assisted safety

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 a limited view. The system can detect vehicles crossing behind and if needed, the auto brake can be applied.*

Ease stress in busy traffic

Volvo's 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 Volvo's 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.**

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.​

* Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgment. The cross-traffic alert may have limited functionality in certain situations. Brake intervention is only active at lower speeds. ** Vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists moving in the same direction of the car can be detected under certain speeds and in certain conditions. Detection systems are dependent on objects being illuminated and require the vehicle’s front and rear lights to be working when it is dark. Driver remains responsible for safe driving at all times.

Front load compartment

This convenient front load compartment provides smart extra storage in your pure electric Volvo Recharge. It's the perfect space to keep your charging cables easily accessible and well protected from dirt, dust and moisture. It also frees up valuable space from the rear load compartment. The front load compartment has two sections: an upper section for items such as charging cables or washer fluid bottles, and a lower section dedicated to storage of a puncture repair kit. The two sections are divided by an easily removable load floor.

5 seats

All five occupants will appreciate the comfort of an ergonomically designed seat. The easily adjustable front seats make it easy to find the perfect seating position. Further enhancing the versatility of your Volvo, the rear seat is easy to fold individually into the load area floor so you can transport passengers and/or cargo without compromising either comfort or safety.

419 l load compartment space

With the rear seats up, the load compartment has enough space below the load cover for two suitcases 750mm long, 520mm wide and 310mm high.

Boost load compartment space to 1,328 l

Fold down the rear seats for optimal luggage capacity – and with a flat floor and no lip to lift items over, larger objects are easier to load and unload. A foldable floor acts as a handy divider to hold shopping bags secure as well as enabling hidden, lockable underfloor storage.
