Behind the Wheel With the New Sensus Interface
Volvo’s in-car control interface, Sensus, is a system dedicated to providing the latest infotainment technology and an enjoyable user experience. It's designed around five basic concepts: entertainment, connectivity, navigation, services, and control. The latest version of Sensus, Sensus Connect, is now available in the new Volvo 90 Series cars and the XC60.
What's so exciting about the new Sensus Connect interface
If you have yet to experience Sensus Connect for yourself, we highly recommend visiting us at Volvo Cars Silver Spring and trying it out. The system is comprised of a new 9-inch tablet-like touchscreen, a driver information cluster, and a Head-Up Display (HUD). Volvo's updates reflect the idea that some information is more important to access while driving.
“As we learn more about our customers’ interaction with our user interface," said Ödgärd Andersson, Vice President Software & Electronics at Volvo Car Group, "we refine the logic and design to increase ease of use and enhance its appearance. The updated interface is focused on the navigation experience in the car which is one of the core applications."
What else to expect
The design of the interface is especially user-friendly and utilizes a four-tile flat menu. A single home button makes navigating the menus a breeze and will prove familiar to anyone who has ever used a smartphone or tablet. Additionally, you have access to even more features through the Volvo On Call app on your smart devices. Integrate your calendar, receive notifications, and send a destination to your car—no matter what you want to do, Sensus Connect and the Volvo On Call app will allow you to do it.
Sensus Connect also supports Bluetooth®, Android Auto™, and Apple CarPlay™ integration as well as innovative features such as Connected Service Booking and Volvo In-Car Delivery. Its entire suite of services is meant to support drivers whether they're behind the wheel or not. This award-winning approach to in-car technology will keep you connected and entertained for years to come.
