Our recommendations
Which used Volvo XC40 estate should I buy?
Engines
We’d seek out the D3 variant. This 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel sounds a bit grumbly at idle but quietens down on the move and transmits little vibration into the car. And it’ll whisk you up to motorway speeds easily enough.
Trims
Well equipped, sporty looking and reasonably priced, R-Design is our favourite trim. It comes with sports seats trimmed in leather and nubuck, power-folding door mirrors, privacy glass and multicolour ambient theatre lighting. Don't bother with a Pro version of this trim level, because that'll give you 20in wheels that spoil the ride.
