Interior: Style and Comfort

The most noticeable feature of the Volvo 3CC is its unique two-plus-one configuration. This design provides seating for two adults in the front and seating for one adult or two children in the rear. The seating arrangement in the 3CC allows for increased communication between all of the car's occupants. It also provides the occupants with comfort and space comparable to that of a larger car.

The Volvo 3CC's two-plus-one configuration provides room for two adults in the front and either one adult or two children in the rear.

The driver and passengers of the Volvo 3CC enter the vehicle through the car's gull-wing doors. These doors open upward so that they are not in the way when getting into or out of the car. Ease and comfort are key in the design of this car:

  • The pedals are adjustable.
  • The dash panel slides forward when the doors are opened, allowing easy access for the driver and front passenger.
  • The seats slide forward and backward, allowing easy access for the rear passenger(s).

Although the Volvo 3CC is a compact car, its interior has been designed to feel spacious and open. Three transparent roof panels bring light into the car and provide for increased visibility.

The 3CC's instrument panel has been designed to be both sleek and ergonomic. All of the controls are located within the same plane, meaning that the driver can see all controls with one sweep of the eye across the dashboard. The panel also uses proximity sensors rather than traditional switches and knobs. The driver can control the lights, climate and stereo by waving a finger within 5 mm of the controls.

On top of ergonomics and high-tech comfort, the 3CC also incorporates the feature Volvo is best known for: advanced safety.
