What is the Volvo Cars app? Enjoy the benefits of this built-in travel companion

Connectivity and convenience are an integral part of life in 2024, especially when it comes to travel. At Volvo, we’ve long since understood the importance of keeping you connected with your car, which is why we developed the Volvo Cars app. Our in-house, cutting-edge app offers a range of features that enhance your driving experience right from the palm of your hand.

What is the Volvo Cars app?

The Volvo Cars app is a comprehensive mobile app designed to bridge the gap between you and your Volvo vehicle, making ownership easy and enjoyable. Really, you can think of the Volvo Cars app, which is available for both iOS and Android devices, as a digital companion that offers different functionalities and services that are meant to simplify your interactions with your vehicle.

Here are seven must-know functions:

Remote Start

With the Volvo Cars app, you can remotely start your vehicle’s engine, adjust the climate control settings, and defrost your windows, all before you get in. Regardless of what the weather is doing outside, the cabin will be the perfect temperature when you’re ready for it.

Electric Vehicle Charging

For Volvo EV owners, the Volvo Cars app lets you schedule charging times. Owners are able to set both start and end times and the action can be repeated every 24 hours. So, for example, if you get home at 6pm and plug in, but don’t want to start charging until 9pm after peak electricity hours, you can do that. There’s also an option to receive push notifications that warn of any charging interruptions.

Digital Keys

The Volvo Cars app offers a digital key feature, allowing you to share access to your car with family members or friends via their smartphone. This feature is incredibly useful for car-sharing or lending your vehicle to someone you trust. You can also lock or unlock your Volvo remotely using the app.

Find Your Car

Have you ever forgotten where you parked your car when you’re somewhere with a big lot, like the mall or airport? Not anymore, you don’t. The Volvo Cars app can help guide you to your vehicle’s location with ease.

Trip Planning and Navigation

Getting from Point A to Point B is simplified with the app’s built-in navigation system. You can more efficiently plan upcoming trips by sending destinations from your smartphone directly to your car’s navigation system, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free journey.

Vehicle Status & Owner’s Manual

Get real-time updates about your car’s status, including fuel level, mileage, tire pressure, and service reminders. This feature helps you stay on top of maintenance and keep your car in optimal condition. A digital copy of your owner’s manual is also built into the app, making it a breeze to find specifics about your vehicle.

Service Booking

Schedule service appointments at your preferred Volvo dealership directly from the app. It streamlines the maintenance process and ensures your car remains in top-notch condition.
