Volvo’s smallest SUV might be small in stature, but it delivers big-car comfort. The XC40 is still powered by a 1.5l 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine, mated to an 8 speed Geartronic automatic transmission. The combo is good for 110kW / 265Nm. It is fantastic to drive and handles the open road well. Volvo is the king of safety and as such the XC40 gets a five-star safety rating. The Volvo XC40 blends generous passenger space and a practical boot with a superb interior, excellent ride comfort and top-notch safety. That makes it a hugely desirable product backed up by real substance. You can't go wrong with the Volvo XC40. The XC40 makes a decent case for itself as an attractive package.
