In-Car Communication

Some Volvo models are equipped with voice amplification and built-in microphones, so you can safely talk to passengers in the rear without feeling like you need to raise your voice. You can speak at your natural volume, as the car’s audio system adjusts volume automatically, or you can use the sound settings to adapt to the overall volume.  

Air Purification and Multi-Zone Climate Controls

To ensure your Volvo is providing you with the best air quality possible, Volvo models are equipped with air purification and Multi-Zone Climate Control.

Multi-Zone Climate Control allows the driver, front passenger and outer rear passengers to control their own temperature and fan speed, so everyone feels comfortable at the same time. Alternatively, use the Volvo Cars app to pre-condition the cabin, whether that is making it hotter or starting an air cleaning cycle for a refreshed interior feel

Air Purification is provided by the air quality system for filtering and monitoring incoming air and can automatically shut the cabin’s intakes if it senses harmful substances in the air
