Volvo continues to build the anticipation around its upcoming compact SUV XC40. After talking about storage spaces and others, Volvo said that the XC40 is developed around the challenges of a modern city life.
Take the calendar function of the Volvo On Call app for example, it can send the destination of your next meeting to the car’s navigation system so that all you have to do is to hop in and drive.
“The XC40 is our first car in this rapidly growing segment and has a clear focus on navigating today’s hectic city environments. Building on Volvo’s heritage as the leader in safety, the new XC40 will offer the best possible safety standards combined with an easy-to-use interface and convenient connected services,” said Håkan Samuelsson, President and Chief Executive.
The XC40 is Volvo’s first car built on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) and includes a range of technologies first introduced in its 90 and 60 Series siblings.
Safety and driver assistance features offered on the XC40 include Volvo’s semi-autonomous Pilot Assist system, the latest generation of City Safety, Run-off Road protection and mitigation, Cross Traffic alert with auto brake and a 360° Camera.
“Modern city life presents complex challenges for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and other road users. With the XC40, we aim to reduce the so-called cognitive load on the driver. While our safety and driver assistance systems actively identify and mitigate potential conflicts, you as a driver can relax more and therefore enjoy city driving,” said Malin Ekholm, Vice President Volvo Cars Safety Centre.
“Like the larger XC60 and XC90 SUVs, the XC40 features Volvo’s connected Sensus infotainment system, centred around the now familiar large, portrait-oriented touchscreen. Easy to use and intuitive, the Sensus interface allows drivers to access a host of functions and services,” concluded Ödgärd Andersson.
