最近谍照记者首次抵近拍到了沃尔沃XC40内装照片。从照片看，仪表板采用了全数字仪表群，而信息娱乐系统采用了纵向排列触控屏，上述布局与XC60和XC90一致，抛光黑色边框看起来像是指纹收集器，而它的尺寸仍是9.2英寸。有趣的是，垂直布局空调出风口与S90/V90一样，但并非模仿XC60/90。而真皮方向盘则取自其他R-Design车型，但进行了略微改款，表面材质采用哑光而非抛光。XC40的后排腿部空间很宽敞，而折叠桌板属于选装件。另外还可以看到后排的固定玻璃车窗，这表明最终量产版将采用类似40.1概念车的侧面第三车窗和硕大C柱。作为沃尔沃首款采用CMA平台的车型，XC40将搭载一系列三缸和四缸涡轮引擎，顶级款是T5 Twin Engine混动版。不过，XC40很可能并非沃尔沃的入门级车型，未来车厂还有望增加XC20。XC40预计将于今年底或明年初上市，该车将在比利时根特的沃尔沃工厂投产。
2018 Volvo XC40 new spy photos fully reveal the interior
The first-ever Volvo XC40 has been spied multiple times already, but now we can actually get a good understanding of the interior thanks to a few up-close shots showing in full the compact crossover’s cabin. The dashboard hosts an all-digital instrument cluster as well as the portrait-oriented touchscreen of the infotainment system as seen on its bigger brothers, the XC60 and the XC90. The glossy black framing already looks to be a fingerprint and dust nightmare while the screen appears to have the same 9.2-inch diagonal.
Interestingly, those vertical air vents actually have more in common with the S90/V90 rather than the XC40’s two larger crossover siblings. As for the leather-wrapped steering wheel, it seems to be taken from the R-Design models, but slightly modified as it features a matte finish on the spokes rather than the glossy look seen on Volvo’s recent models.
Moving in the back, we can check out the generous amount of rear legroom and the fold-out tables likely to be offered as optional equipment. You can also observe the design of the fixed glass area, thus confirming the production version of the XC40 will have third-side windows unlike the 40.1 concept that featured a massive C-pillar.
Volvo’s first model to ride on the newly developed CMA platform, the XC40 will be introduced in the months to come with an array of three- and four-cylinder engines, all of which are going to be turbocharged and topped by a T5 Twin Engine hybrid version. The XC40 is unlikely to remain Volvo’s entry-level crossover forever as the Geely-owned company has already dropped a hint about doing a pint-sized XC20.
The XC40 is expected to go on sale either by the year’s end or early 2018 once production will begin at Volvo’s factory in Ghent, Belgium.
