Relaxing ambience. Premium seats. Exceptional audio. In this SUV, rush hour is time to unwind.
Uncluttered cockpit. Room to stretch out. Convenient controls. Feel ready for the road no matter what today has in store.

The cockpit extends the clean Scandinavian minimalism of the exterior design. Nothing is superfluous. Everything is where you expected it to be, from the driver and centre displays to thoughtfully placed storage for bags, devices and life's little extras.

The front seats were designed in collaboration with orthopaedic surgeons to deliver ergonomic support and alleviate pressure points, hunching and shoulder strain.
Customise your driving position using the power-operated adjustments. The extra wide extending seat cushion adds more thigh support.
Take the edge off cold commutes and camping trips with heated seats (Standard on the Ultra trim and available as a package on the Plus trim).

The sporty steering wheel invites you to buckle in and just get moving.
Illuminated buttons on the left manage driver support functions. Right-side buttons adjust audio, infotainment and communication.
A heated steering wheel is standard on the Ultra trim and available as a package on the Plus trim, for added comfort.

The XC40 is designed for a controlled driving experience. The agile chassis helps ensure responsive handling. It’s also engineered to deliver a balance of comfort and pep, as well as predictable steering.
Loads of legroom. A home for your things. A wide open view of the sky. Mindfulness made easy.




Ergonomically designed rear seats and generous legroom deliver cabin-wide comfort. Rear seats are designed to the same safety standards as our larger cars, and to help improve the driver’s view out the back, the outer second-row head restraints can fold down at the touch of a button. Heated rear seats are standard on the Ultra trim and available as a package on the Plus trim, keeping passengers toasty on colder days.

Life can be a lot, so this cabin is designed with practical storage to keep things simple on the road. Lift the centre console armrest to store your things in a small storage area. Drop your phone on the standard charging pad. There's a removable bin at the back of the console to stow items or for rubbish. Keep your drink within reach using the console's two cup holders. Pop your laptop or handbag in the large door pockets. And hang takeaways on the dashboard fold-out hook.

The optional panoramic roof spans the front and rear seats, flooding the cabin with natural light. It also minimises glare and blocks about 80 per cent of the sun's heat. Swipe the ceiling-mounted control panel in the front row to open and close the roof and power-operated sunshade.
