Volov Cars partnered with Google to integrate an\u00a0infotainment system powered by Android, with the Google Assistant, Google Maps and the Google Play Store built-in. The automaker also said the removal of an internal combustion engine for the XC40 EV helped create extra room for even more storage space under the front hood; the special front load compartment located under the front hood provides around 1,800 cubic inches of extra load space. Additionally, the battery pack is integrated into the floor of the car without affecting interior space.<\/p>\n

The new infotainment system offers full integration of Android Automotive OS, Google\u2019s open-source Android platform, with real-time updates to services such as Google Maps, Google Assistant and automotive apps created by the global developer community, Volvo said.
