Personalise your drive with Google built-in, a range of helpful apps available with unlimited data as part of your free digital services package.

Google Maps

Our standard one-zone climate system lets you choose your preferred cabin temperature. The car will optimise 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. If you've got 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Select a charging station as your destination, and your car will pre-condition the battery, pre-heating or pre-cooling it to the optimal temperature for charging. That can make a big difference to how rapidly and efficiently the battery charges when you arrive.

Charge your EX40 from 10 to 80 per cent in 26 minutes at fast public charging stations. A Volvo Cars wallbox makes rapid charging at home faster, too. Compared to a regular household socket, it can charge your EX40 up to five times faster. You can start and stop charging, schedule charging, and monitor progress on the wallbox and your smartphone.

Plug & Charge makes charging your electric Volvo at public stations simple. Just plug in and charge—no apps, cards, or tags needed. The station automatically recognizes your car and starts charging, with the process displayed on your car’s center screen. Billing is automatic for added convenience.

To use Plug & Charge, activate the function and link your car to a compatible charging account. Easily locate Plug & Charge stations via Google Maps on your car’s display or the Volvo Cars app.
