Innovative ways to make one’s life easier can be a make-or-break selling point on cars when standards are so high.

Volvo has raised their game, then, with this excellent feature in the boot (above). Lifting a large flap on the boot floor reveals two hooks that bags can be hung on to stop them flying around. The bag in the picture had bottles of wine in it, which travelled a good distance without any problem thanks to this brilliant idea.
