Volvo Reveals Details About XC40 SUV’s Interior

Volvo claims that the XC40 will lead the entry-level luxury SUV segment in interior space, storage and all-round functionality. The luxury carmaker has rolled out a video that doesn’t feature the compact SUV, but hints at the focus on ergonomics and best utilisation of interior space.

Here are a couple of things Volvo says they have done differently on the inside:

• The front doors will have enough space to store a laptop and a tablet, or a couple of water bottles. To maximise the door compartment storage, the front door speakers have been redeveloped into air-ventilated sub-woofer which is mounted on the dashboard.

• The center tunnel will have dedicated space for coins, cards or charging cables.

Other than these, the company has revealed that there will be a small fold-away hook around the glove compartment to secure small shopping or take-away bags. There will also be storage spaces under the front seats large enough to hold a mini tablet or other smaller items. Volvo says that the armrest will be big enough to hold a tissue box and there will be a removable bin as well to quickly get rid of waste.

The Volvo XC40 will have an electrically (flat) folding rear seat and the boot will feature a fold-up trunk divider with two hooks to hang shopping bags or other luggage. There will be a private lockable storage compartment as well under the load floor at the rear.

Volvo has also disclosed that the XC40’s interior will feature a warm Lava Orange carpet, an Oxide Red upholstery and a range of ‘new and distinctive’ trims and materials. The XC40 will be the smallest SUV in Volvo’s India lineup when it is launched next year.
