Volvo XC40 Recharge Interior
The upgraded and elevating seating position in the new XC40 gives you a good and clear angular view of the road ahead, which is helped further by relatively slim windscreen pillars. The Volvo electric car gets large door mirrors, so you can see clearly what’s going beside, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror is standard.
Bright, automatic LED headlights are included too which provide clear vision at night, and make easy work of night-time driving. They also include an auto high-beam function, but the XC40 Recharge isn’t available with the fully adaptive Matrix LED headlights that many other cars offer; these deliver high beam visibility at all times without dazzling oncoming traffic.
Furthermore, Rear parking sensors are standard, but you have to go for the mid-spec Plus trim variant to get front and rear parking sensors with a rear-view camera. The top-spec Pro model gets a 360-degree camera, which gives you a very premium bird’s eye view of the car when you’re parking.
