When Volvo introduced its first SUV, the XC90, it seriously under-estimated demand, and the same was true with the original XC60. The company did it again with the XC40, which scooped a slew of awards as soon as it emerged, including our Small Premium SUV of the Year, as well as European Car of the Year in 2018. Back then we said: “The XC40 is loaded with all the latest safety kit, has a wonderful, tech-laden interior and is available with a wide spread of engines.” The XC40 still impresses for all of these reasons, but it’s crucial that you pin down the right engine and spec for your needs if you’re to get the most out of XC40 ownership, so consider all options carefully.
For many years Volvo wanted to be premium, but its cars weren’t quite good enough to compete with rivals. Then in 2010 the Swedish brand was snapped up by Chinese company Geely, which went on to invest huge sums in making Volvos more desirable.
Since Volvo arrived in 1927 it has built a reputation for safety and environmental responsibility, and the company has never lost sight of that. Volvo’s products now look great, are impressive dynamically, plus they’re easy to live with in terms of their ergonomics, practicality and reliability. Like all premium cars the XC40 isn’t a cheap option – think of it as reassuringly expensive.
