Recently Volvo introduced the interior of the all new XC90. As with a Tesla Model S, the striking, contemporary cabin has replaced the normal array of buttons with a large tablet-esque touch screen, a head-up display and thumb controls on the steering wheel.

The result is the most modern in-car control system on the market, which Volvo believes is easier to use, ensuring drivers will be able to keep their eyes on the road as much as possible while operating or making adjustments to the system. It also uses the car's interior space far more efficiently and offers a range of additional benefits such as integrated cloud-based applications for music streaming and, among other services, the ability to mirror and use Apple iOS devices in the touch screen display.

Volvo's new interface, part of ''Sensus', incorporates the latest touch screen hardware and software to allow drivers to build an instinctive understanding of how the system works, where the controls are located and how to operate them.
