The Heart of Scandinavian Speed

Do you find solace toeing the line between thrills and comfort? Then you’ll love taking the wheel of the Volvo XC40. This compact SUV packs a punch while simultaneously delivering a smooth-as-butter commute. Underneath the hood, you’ll find greatness waiting to be unleashed.

Depending on whether you choose standard front-wheel drive (FWD) or available all-wheel drive (AWD), its singular 2.0L turbocharged engine puts you in control of these balanced performance specs:

Meanwhile, the Volvo XC40's available adaptable all-wheel drive system adds confidence. It sends power between the front and rear axles to boost traction and stability on low-friction surfaces, such as rain-slicked roads or unpaved paths, when the travel bug strikes. Regardless, when properly equipped, the XC40 can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Smooth Sailing, Smarter Stops

Every driver can agree on the importance of fuel efficiency. Making the most of each drop of fuel will help optimize your travel and reduce time spent at the pump. This is an area where the Volvo XC40 excels.

Featuring a mild hybrid powertrain that uses regenerative braking to recover energy otherwise lost, the XC40 lets you pass by the gas station more often. Combining engineered efficiency and the extra push from hybrid technology helps the XC40 achieve up to an EPA-estimated 25 city/32 highway MPG rating in its front-wheel drive configuration.^* The all-wheel drive variant delivers a similarly impressive EPA-estimated 23 city/30 highway MPG.^*

Beyond extending the time between trips to the gas station, mild hybrid technology helps create a greener world since the Volvo XC40 produces fewer tailpipe emissions than cars with traditional internal combustion engines. The best part? A greener commute is achieved without the need for plugs. Simply braking will power the battery to travel farther.

Where Simplicity Becomes Sophistication

Climbing into the cabin of the Volvo XC40, you can see the amount of careful thought put into the cabin when you first take your seat. It starts with the Comfort front seats draped in premium textile upholstery. Beyond their heated capability, which helps ease back and shoulder tension, these ergonomic seats are customized to hug your body. The result is always arriving feeling rejuvenated, regardless of how much time you’ve spent behind the wheel.

Volvo engineers believe that wellness is an integral part of a commute. A built-in air quality system helps you breathe clean, healthy air as you drive to your destination. When the sensor detects harmful substances, it can automatically shut the cabin's air intake. A multifilter also reduces the amount of dust, pollen, and other particles that enter the cabin.

The optional panoramic roof floods the cabin with natural light and provides ventilation with fresh air from the front section. A power sunshade and tinted laminated glass help reduce glare and protect against harmful rays. The added element of the great outdoors will make the ride more memorable for everyone on board.

Space That Adapts to You

Despite its compact stature, the Volvo XC40 provides an impressive amount of space for both passengers and cargo. For starters, you'll notice integrated storage solutions throughout the cabin. Hooks for bag handles, roomy storage compartments, and more all combine to deliver an interior that's versatile and visually appealing.

Its length of 174.8 inches makes it perfect for tight park jobs while offering an abundance of space for those on board:

• Headroom (front/rear): 39/39.1 in.
• Legroom (front/rear): 40.9/36.1 in.
• Shoulder room (front/rear): 56.7/56.3 in.
• Hip room (front/rear): 54.7/54.6 in.

If you’ve finally bought that accent piece you’ve eyed for weeks, the Volvo XC40 is spacious enough to accommodate larger items. Simply fold down the rear seats to obtain a maximum cargo capacity of 57.5 cubic feet.

A Soundtrack for Every Journey

Staying connected while on the go will help you keep up with your dynamic life. All smartphone users can easily access the songs, podcasts, and other digital features saved to their phones thanks to Apple CarPlay® and Google services integration. These features transform the 9-inch central touchscreen display into an entertainment hub, allowing you to use your voice to make commands via Google Assistant.

Regardless of how you stay entertained throughout your commute, the optional Harman Kardon® Premium Sound system delivers crisp audio with 13 hi-fi speakers spread around the cabin. Thanks to its 600W digital amplifier coupled with the air-ventilated subwoofer, you'll experience an immersive audio experience.

A Co-Pilot You Can Count On

Driver-assistive technologies are a revolutionary way of giving you an advantage on the road. They watch out for you so you can be prepared for the unexpected. Sophisticated monitoring technology constantly scans for hazards you may have missed. These features can alert you to hazards or assist with speed and steering to help you avoid a collision.

Among the advanced driver-assist features of the Volvo XC40 are:

• BLIS™ and Cross Traffic Alert
• Lane Keeping Aid
• Road Sign Information
• Oncoming Lane Mitigation

Available Pilot Assist further elevates this on-road advantage. This system delivers mild-autonomous, hands-on capabilities to keep a safe distance between you and other vehicles. It can also help keep you centered within your marked lane and produce a tactile alert when it detects distracted driving, allowing you to feel more alert throughout your commute.
