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. If you do buy one, we recommend the B3 petrol engine and mid-spec Plus trim.
Range-topping Ultimate adds ambient interior lighting, leather upholstery, a panoramic opening sunroof, a Harman Kardon sound system and 20-inch alloy wheels, but it’s rather pricey.
This entry-level 2.0-litre engine puts out 161bhp and reaches 62mph from rest in a respectable 8.6sec. It’s punchy enough and costs significantly less than the more powerful B4.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
