pACK & loAD Carrying/Towing
roof load carrying system
To help you fully utilise the roof of your Volvo, we've developed a range of versatile load carrying
accessories. This system is dimensioned to carry up to 100 kg. The factory-fitted attachment points in
the car's roof make the load carriers easy to fit, and even quicker if your car has roof rails. Various load
accessories – such as roof boxes and different holders for bikes, skis, surfboards and kayaks – can
be attached to the load carriers to meet your needs. These accessories can be freely combined for
flexibility and many are aerodynamically designed to help reduce fuel consumption and wind noise.
And most of them can be locked with the same key, using Volvo's One-Key System.
u Towing equipment
A Volvo tow bar – fixed or removable – is the ultimate load accessory.
The removable tow bar is easy to detach and refit when necessary.
When not in use, it's completely out of the way. A range of tow bar
mounted bicycle holders is available – you can take up to four bikes
(or two e-bikes) conveniently and safely on the back of your Volvo.
Loading is easy, and the holder can be tilted to allow access to the
load compartment.

roof box
To meet your various load needs, there's a range
of aerodynamic Volvo roof boxes – from 310 litres
up to 480 litres – compromising the most
advanced function and design.
Kayak cradle
This smartly designed holder secures the kayak
on the roof of your Volvo and facilitates loading.
Space saving design makes it possible to carry
up to two kayaks. When not in use, the holder
can be conveniently folded for reduced air
resistance and easy storage.
Sliding ski and snowboard holder
This holder is easy to handle and has an aerodynamic design. It pulls out sideways so it's easier to load
and unload the skis. There's space for six pairs of skis or four snowboards.
Automatic levelling
When you tow or carry a heavy load, automatic levelling adjusts the rear shock absorbers so the vehicle
will maintain road holding, ground clearance and headlight angle.
perForMAnCe
In a Volvo, powertrain and chassis interact to strike the perfect balance between excitement
and stability. And to further enhance the experience, additional technologies are available.
perForMAnCe Chassis/Steering
Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept (Four-C)
The Four-C active chassis provides a choice of three distinctive driving modes – Comfort, Sport or
Advanced. Whichever you choose, this technology monitors the car, road and driver 500 times per
second, simultaneously adjusting each shock absorber to maintain optimal handling. At the heart of
Four-C is Volvo's semi-active suspension with continuously controlled Monroe-Öhlins shock absorbers.
Furthermore, Four-C interacts with the DSTC system, engine, brakes and steering to promote your
chosen handling style.
Comfort This chassis mode isolates the car's occupants from irregularities in the road surface.
This setting prioritises flexible dampening for smooth and gentle body movement and exceptional
comfort. It's ideal for slippery or uneven roads.
Sport For a sportier experience, this setting prioritises slightly stiffer dampening and acts faster.
This results in more decisive body movement, precise handling and good ride comfort. Perfect for
active driving.
Advanced This is the high performance mode. This setting stiffens the dampeners for maximum road
contact – directly communicating the road surface to the driver. Prioritising immediate feedback rather
than comfort, the advanced setting increases the range of driving dynamics.
All-wheel drive with instant Traction™
The advanced Haldex ® AWD technology with Instant Traction™
helps increase driving stability and traction on all road surfaces. It
has an electronic management system that constantly monitors the
speed of the wheels, the throttle, engine torque, engine speed and
the brakes. As driving conditions change, wheels with the best grip
get the most power. When a tyre loses traction, power is reduced to
that wheel and instantly transferred to the more sure-footed wheels.
Speed dependent steering
Speed dependent and progressive power steering uses sophisticated, speed-sensitive technology to
regulate the amount of power assistance a driver needs. At highway speeds, steering is firmer and more
immediate. When parking or in slow traffic, steering is light and effortless. There's a choice of three
settings allowing you to choose a suitable level of road feel or steering sensitivity.
