2017 Volvo V40 and V40 Cross Country
Volvo has shown the new face of the
updated V40 and V40 Cross Country for the 2017MY.
Equipped with Thor's Hammer headlights,
new grille mesh, updated Volvo Iron Mark, eight new wheels designs across the
V40, R-Design and V40 Cross Country range, they also come with two completely
new colors, Amazon Blue and Denim Blue, and three shades already used by other
cars in the manufacturer's portfolio: Bursting Blue, Mussel Blue and Luminous
Sand.
Inside, there is a new City Weave
upholstery like the one fitted in the Concept Estate, new Charcoal/Blond
steering wheel option, several interior panel trims such as Milled Aluminum,
Black Grid Aluminum and Stealth Aluminum, accent trim colors in the door
inserts, new tread plates on the R-Design and Inscription versions, and updated
key fob with new Volvo logo.
These add to the likes of the Volvo On Call
smartphone app that allows users to remotely access some of the in-car
features, which is also compatible with Apple Watch/Android Wear. The Microsoft
Band 2 connectivity enables voice-control for certain features when using
Windows 10.
Volvo will also introduce Flic button
compatibility, which allows the driver to program a single physical "smart
button" to perform several tasks, such as lock the car, start/stop
pre-heating or be used as a shortcut to Volvo On Call.
The CO2 emissions on the popular D2
manual powertrain were reduced to 89 g/km and this is the only tech info Volvo
has released prior to their premiere in Geneva next week.
