20-b4p-core-5dr-auto

If you’re dead set against a diesel but can't stretch to the Recharge T6 plug-in hybrid, this 194bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol is a fine option – indeed, it's our pick. It's pretty quick in a straight line (0-62mph takes 7.9sec) and officially it's capable of averaging around 40mpg, but you'll need to drive it very carefully to hit that in the real world.

2.0 B4P

Estate

Volvo is now a true rival to the likes of Audi, BMW, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz, offering an alternative take on premium executive cars to a rapidly growing fanbase.

After a string of strong launches – notably with the Mk2 XC90 and XC60 SUVs – it struck gold in early 2018 when it launched its smallest SUV, the XC40. When our testers compared the car with its rivals, they concluded that it was the best launch of the previous 12 months, earning it our coveted overall Car of the Year Award.

The good news is that, like many car makers, Volvo now uses the same structure underneath most of its cars – so if they get it right on one model, it usually bodes well for the rest. That’s the case here, with Volvo’s subsequent saloon and estate launches complementing the SUVs and making for a generally extremely appealing line-up.

Core

2.0 B4P Core 5dr Auto

This is the only diesel. It's RDE2 compliant and officially averages 50mpg. While its acceleration won’t exactly squash you back in your seat (0-62mph takes 8.5sec), it has more than enough mid-rev oomph for easygoing progress. 

2.0 B4D

Plus

2.0 B4D Plus Dark 5dr Auto

20-b4d-plus-dark-5dr-auto

The entry-level trim includes heated electrically adjustable front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control, four-zone climate control, power-folding mirrors, a heated windscreen, a 13-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, 19in alloy wheels and keyless entry.

Cross Country Plus

2.0 B4D Cross Country Plus 5dr AWD Auto

20-b4d-cross-country-plus-5dr-awd-auto

This diesel engine is available only with the Cross Country version. It will do 0-62mph in 7.4sec and officially it's capable of averaging 45mpg. It can tow up to 2400kg and comes with four-wheel drive. 

2.0 B5D

2.0 B5D Cross Country Plus 5dr AWD Auto

20-b5d-cross-country-plus-5dr-awd-auto

With 247bhp and a 0-62mph time of 6.9sec (slower if you buy the four-wheel-drive Cross Country) it’s pokey and it pulls well from low revs. It's the entry-level engine in Cross Country. If you're a company car driver looking to save tax, though, you should check out the Recharge T6 plug-in hybrid instead. Officially, the B5 (P) will average 40mpg, which is about the same as the less powerful B4 (P). We saw 30-35mpg from the four-wheel-drive Cross Country and front-wheel-drive versions should better that.  

2.0 B5P

2.0 B5P Cross Country Plus 5dr AWD Auto

20-b5p-cross-country-plus-5dr-awd-auto

We’re yet to try this revised version with a larger 18.8kWh battery pack. We expect it to perform similarly to the outgoing version which - while it doesn’t feel like a rocket ship - is swifter than a 530e, and is of course near-silent when it’s in electric mode. It also shuffles seamlessly between its two power sources.
