A complete driving experience

Driver assistance

Enjoy more peace of mind with Pilot Assist. This advanced technology helps you maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you by automatically adapting your speed. This can help take the strain out of stop-and-go traffic. Your fully electric EC40 can even help hold the centre lane with a gentle steer assist.

Breathe cleaner air with our advanced air purification system. It prevents up to 80 per cent of hazardous PM 2.5 particles from entering the cabin, delivering better quality air no matter the outside conditions. You can also monitor particles and pollen levels outside and in real time.

Pixel LED headlights

Light the road ahead with Pixel LED headlights featuring our signature Thor’s Hammer design. Each unit has 84 LEDs that adapt to traffic to optimise your visibility in low-light conditions without dazzling other road users.

Safety and driver assistance features

360° parking view

Park more confidently with a 360° view of your EC40. Four cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors combine to give you a complete picture of your SUV to increase the visibility of objects outside your car.

 A better rear view

Reverse with confidence supported by a cross traffic alert. Whether you have a limited rear view or not, the system can detect vehicles crossing behind your EC40 and apply the brakes if necessary. 

A better rear view

Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgement. A cross traffic alert may have limited functionality in certain situations. Brake intervention is only active at lower speeds.

Confident lane changes

Stress less about lane changes. When a vehicle enters your blind spot, the EC40 can alert you via a light in the left or right door mirror and, if needed, help steer your car back into your lane.

Easier lane-keeping

Your EC40 can help you stay in your lane when you unintentionally drift. It can send subtle vibrations through the steering wheel and steer your SUV safely back inside the lane.

Collision avoidance

Your EC40 is designed to help detect and avoid other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and large animals day or night. The SUV will first warn you if there’s a risk of collision. If you don’t react in time, the car can steer and brake the car.

Collision avoidance

Vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists moving in the same direction as the car can be detected under certain speeds and in certain conditions.

Innovative passenger protection

To help keep passengers safe and the battery intact in the event of a collision, the EC40 carries a unique safety structure. The battery is protected by a safety cage consisting of an extruded aluminium frame embedded in the middle of the car’s body structure.

360° parking view

Park more confidently with a 360° view of your EC40. Four cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors combine to give you a complete picture of your SUV to increase the visibility of objects outside your car.

Detection systems are dependent on objects being illuminated and require the vehicle’s front and rear lights to be working when it is dark. Driver remains responsible for safe driving at all times.
