The model

Read full review

The Volvo XC40 blends generous passenger space and a practical boot with a superb interior, excellent ride comfort and top-notch safety. In other words, it’s a stylish, premium product that’s backed up by real substance. We recommend the B3 petrol engine and mid-spec Plus trim.

The trim

See full equipment

Going for mid-rung Plus trim gets you keyless entry, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel and blind-spot monitoring. It's our pick.

The engine

See full engine specs

This entry-level 2.0-litre engine puts out 161bhp and reaches 62mph from rest in a respectable 8.6sec. It’s punchy enough and costs significantly less than the more powerful B4.
