Volvo need to do more extensive interior refreshes when they faclift vehicles so we aren't waiting 6 years for a update infotainment and trim. Excellent improvements though.
Climate controls should all be one tap to make a change and it looks like this screen doesn’t have the real estate to get that done so it should have separate physical controls. This form over function doesn’t appeal to me. I get into my girlfriend’s 2018 Subaru Outback and all the controls are right there easy to use, convenient and logical. Ideally it’s nice to be able to change drive modes and regeneration using a button and paddles. Hyundai has done a very nice job with this on the Ioniq 5 and it’s getting better with the 2025 refresh. I’m disappointed to see Volvo sticking to minimalism when having controls that require you to spend less time with your eyes off the road would be safer. I think the Tesla minimalism is about reducing manufacturing costs and traditional automakers should exploit physical controls as an advantage. The volume knob is very nice though.
It is not. Only available for 24 and up model years due to the new motor. Although i do think it would be nice if it was offered for the previous model years as well.
