    Latest Model

    2019 Model Redesign Year
    The XC40 competes in the entry-level luxury SUV class. Gas-powered models come with standard all-wheel drive and a 247-hp turbo four-cylinder that packs a decent punch. The ride is stiff, and the engine has a coarse growl. Worse, the controls, such as the electronic gear selector and infotainment system, are unintuitive and frustrating to operate. Handling is mundane but secure. The cabin is nicely furnished, and the front seats are very comfortable.
    The electric version, called Recharge, has been freshened and renamed EX40 for 2025. It comes in rear- and all-wheel drive with an EPA-estimated electric range of between 260 and 296 miles. Volvo's optional active driving assistance system combines adaptive cruise control and steering assistance.

    2019-Present

    2019 Model Redesign Year
    The Volvo XC40 joins the growing niche of small luxury SUVs. The T5 trim we tested comes standard with AWD and a 248-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine that packs a decent punch. Front-wheel-drive T4 versions have a 187-hp turbo engine. Like other Volvos, the ride is stiff, and the engine has a coarse growl. Worse, the controls, such as the electronic gear selector and infotainment system, are unintuitive and frustrating to operate. Handling is mundane but secure.
    The cabin is nicely furnished and the front seats are very comfortable. Automatic emergency braking is standard. Other available features include rear cross-traffic alert with braking assist, 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. Volvo's Pilot Assist system offers a suite of advanced driver assistance features. For 2024, the XC40 is only available with all-wheel-drive and the less powerful B4 engine was dropped.
