The Volvo XC40 blends generous passenger space and a practical boot with a quality interior and top-notch safety. That makes it a hugely desirable product backed up with real substance. If you do buy one, we recommend the B3 petrol engine and mid-spec Plus trim.

Our preferred Plus model gets heated and electrically adjustable front seats, a reversing camera and a more efficient interior heating system that helps to improve the car’s driving range in winter conditions.

The one to go for if you're a company car driver. This plug-in hybrid model mixes decent performance (0-60mph in 7.5sec in our tests) with low CO2 emissions and a real-world pure electric range of around 20 miles.
