Volvo XC40 Review 2025, Price & Specs
The turbocharged 2.0-litre B3 is the least powerful engine, but it’s still slightly bigger than engines found in some equally-sized rivals. As a result, fuel economy is respectable rather than brilliant (expect around 35mpg in normal driving). By comparison, an Audi Q3 will achieve more than 40mpg.The most cost-effective version for company car drivers paying BIK tax is the fully electric Volvo EX40 (previously known as the XC40 Recharge).Entry-level Core trim provides a decent list of goodies, including cruise control, keyless start, dual-zone climate control, LED headlights and heated front seats. It also has 18in alloy wheels and a powered tailgate.Many buyers will find that enough, but our favourite trim is the even better equipped Plus. It adds keyless entry, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel and a heated front windscreen.Plus Pro gets leather seats and extra tech including a 360-degree camera. The premium is just about justifiable but we’d still be happy with regular Plus. Ultra trim is a bit too steep on price, but it’s worth considering for its Harman Kardon sound system, tinted rear windows and panoramic sunroof.
