Car and Driver awarded it a near-perfect 9.5/10 rating, praising the luxury compact SUV's elegant yet energetic design, indulgent list of standard equipment, and roomy cabin. "The diminutive two-row crossover possesses a youthful vibrancy with its stylish but practical shape, admirably roomy cabin, and an adroitly balanced chassis that walks the line between comfort and handling," enthused the editors.
Regardless of which version you select, the XC40's cabins are beautifully designed, with the upper trim levels exuding a luxurious feel. The XC40 B5 AWD Plus above comes equipped with a Panoramic Sunroof, Heated Front and Rear Seats, a Blind Spot Monitor, Surround-View Cameras, and more. See specifications.
Every XC40 is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 247 hp and is assisted by a 48-volt hybrid system. Power is distributed to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission known for its seamless shifts. The XC40 will accelerate from 0 - 60 mph in about six seconds, making for a spirited ride.
The Volvo name is practically synonymous with safety, and the XC40 is equipped with plenty of driver-assistance tech as standard, including automated emergency braking, blind-spot assistance, and cross-traffic alert.
