City Safety looks out for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals warning the driver if a collision is imminent. Safety has always been a priority for Volvo and even the entry-level XC40 comes with the Radar Based Active Safety suite.

It supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s the same 9-inch touchscreen setup found in the XC90, S90, V90 CC, and the XC60. Unlike other manufacturers, Volvo has not equipped the XC40 with a downgraded version of its Sensus infotainment system. It comes with heated seats as well, but its functionality in India is debatable. Noteworthy features include a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, power operated tail gate, Park Pilot Assist, and a 13-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. There’s just so much kit offered as standard that the only way to do justice to it was to dedicate an entire section of the review to it.
Volvo has a habit of loading its products to the brim with features and the XC40 is no different. This one’s clearly meant to be driven rather than being driven around in. However, there is ample headroom and legroom and rear seat occupants get dedicated aircon vents as well. For starters, the seat back is a bit too upright, and I found the cushioning to be on the firmer side. The rear seat experience, however, isn’t the XC40’s strong suit. They’re electrically adjustable and the driver’s seat also gets memory function. The front seats a generous and fairly comfortable. The Volvo XC40 offers space for 4-5 with 460 L of boot space. Customers looking to add something flashier than an all-black interior trim can spec their Volvo XC40 in a black and lava red combo. In the R-Design spec, the cabin gets leather/nubuck upholstery, steering wheel and gear selector wrapper in perforated leather along with aluminium dashboard inlays. There’s even a nifty trashcan placed just ahead of the front centre armrest. Storage spaces are aplenty in the Volvo XC40’s cabin. There’s a fully digital and customisable instrument console, which also displays warnings coming in via the Radar Based Active Safety package. Narrow, vertically stacked aircon vents flank the screen. What’s it like on the inside?Ī 9-inch touchscreen for Volvo’s Sensus infotainment setup dominates the centre console. The Volvo XC40 blends quintessential Volvo design features and unique styling elements of its own with a conventional SUV silhouette. They do not follow the small, medium, large pattern some rival brands tend to do. What I like about Volvo’s design philosophy is that its cars, despite being instantly recognisable as Volvos, have their own unique identity. Customers will get a choice of three colour options – Crystal White, Bursting Blue, and Fusion Red (pictured). This version adds sporty touches in the form of a gloss black front grille and front and rear lower bumper sections, black roof and ORVMs, dual integrated exhaust pipes and 18-inch diamond cut 5-spoke alloy wheels. ‘R DESIGN’ lettering is present on the boot lid and the C-pillar. Volvo will offer the XC40 only in the R-Design trim, at least initially. ‘Volvo’ lettering is spread across the centre of the boot lid placed in an S90-like inset. Another signature Volvo touch is the upright tail light cluster complementing the strong shoulder line.
The rear gets a predominantly black bumper. The nose is vertical and the bonnet is nearly flat, which combine with the almost parallel running roof and window line to give the XC40 a classic SIV profile. They flank an upright grille housing the company’s Iron Mark insignia. Volvo’s signature Thor’s Hammer LED DRLs make an appearance on the XC40 as well. The Volvo XC40 has arrived in India and I got a chance to sample it before it goes on sale on July 4, 2018. The SUV also managed to bag top honours at the 2018 European Car of the Year awards. It has been received rather well globally with Volvo revealing plans to increase production to meet the high demand. It is the company’s first entry-level luxury crossover and the first vehicle based on the Common Modular Architecture (CMA) platform co-developed by Volvo and its owners Geely. That’s when the Swedish carmaker took the wraps off the Volvo XC40. BMW introduced the X1 in 2009, Audi came out with the Q3 in 2011, Mercedes-Benz has had the GLA since 2014, but until September last year, Volvo had no presence in this segment.
