Our quick and smooth-shifting 8-speed Geartronic™ automatic offers superior efficiency and an intuitive drive. You're always in the right gear – whether it's for optimal engine response at all revs, or for smooth cruising with the highest fuel-efficiency. Whenever you're in the mood for dynamic driving, just shift to manual mode.
Our AWD technology with Instant Traction™ gives you an edge by increasing driving stability and traction – on all road surfaces and in all weathers. As conditions change, wheels with the best grip get the most power to optimize your drive. Under normal conditions, practically all the power is distributed to the front wheels to minimize fuel consumption without compromising on stability. And when needed, up to 50% of the engine's power can be distributed to the rear wheels. At a standstill, full all-wheel drive is always engaged to prepare for maximum traction. This also facilitates take-off in slippery conditions or if you, for example, are pulling a boat trailer up a ramp.
Hill Descent Control offers controlled descents on steep, rough and slippery roads. When activated, it helps you descend smoothly from 8 to 40 km/h (5 to 25 mph) using engine braking or, if needed, by braking each wheel individually – you just have to steer. You can brake anytime or, if you prefer, accelerate to adapt the speed. The smooth accelerator characteristics of Hill Descent Control also make it easier to drive off when towing a heavy trailer or a boat up a ramp. It also works in reverse gear.

WHIPS™ is a Volvo safety innovation that efficiently helps reduce the risk of whiplash injury if your vehicle is hit from behind. On impact, the entire front backrest and head restraint move with the occupant to support the neck.
The SIPS™ side-impact protection system helps protect you and your passengers in a side-impact collision. The body's steel framework displaces the impact of a collision from the side away from the occupants to other parts of the vehicle body. The extremely strong side structure helps withstand a severe side impact – even with a larger vehicle. The Inflatable Curtain and the front-seat side airbags interact with SIPS™ to help provide further protection for the front-seat occupants. In the rear, SIPS™ and the Inflatable Curtain help protect the passengers in the outer rear seats.
Our Inflatable Curtain helps protect your head and neck in a side collision or rollover. Helping to provide protection for occupants sitting on the sides, it deploys from the roof above the doors. The Inflatable Curtain also helps protect in some frontal collisions and stays inflated for several seconds to provide prolonged protection in the event of secondary impacts.
