About the 2023 Volvo XC40
The Volvo XC40 sets the standard for a compact luxury SUV, highlighted by a striking design, advanced safety innovations, and cutting-edge technology. The XC40 arrived in the US as one of the safest, well-equipped compact SUVs available on the market thanks to award-winning technology already found on the XC90 and XC60 models. With the addition of the XC40, the Volvo SUV lineup features three of the most cutting-edge vehicles in each of their respective segments. The larger 7-Passenger XC90 remains the most awarded SUV of the century while the mid-sized XC60 remains Volvo's most popular SUV.
Providing the foundation for upcoming vehicles in the Volvo 40 series, the XC40 is the first model on Volvo Cars' Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform. XC40 shoppers will have their selection of a standard B4 powertrain featuring an efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engine and mild hybrid system producing 194 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque with front-wheel drive. Searching for more power? Step up to the B5 powertrain and you'll enjoy a more potent turbocharged four-cylinder and mild hybrid system with 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque along with a capable all-wheel drive system. Each of these powertrains comes paired to a responsive 8-speed Geartronic™ automatic transmission. No matter what your weekend agenda looks like, you'll be prepared to take on any challenge with the stylish XC40.
What the Critics Say
"We were taken by this small SUV's hip, modern, and undeniably cool styling. That's not just outside; the art-deco cabin and unusual trim selections look great. It functions well, too, with numerous storage compartments (check out the built-in trash can) and a spacious, versatile cargo area." -- MotorTrend
"Dripping with personality, the Volvo XC40 is the antidote to anodyne compact luxury SUVs. Its fun style outside is paired with impressive practicality, and price tags that can stay reasonable with optional extras." -- Autoblog
What's New for 2023
The big news for 2023 is that all forms of the gasoline-powered XC40 now also have a mild hybrid system. This means improved fuel economy and a horsepower bump for the base engine. Exterior styling has been tweaked, but not much. The roof is now body-colored with all paint options, and there is a new grille, headlights, and bumpers. The trim levels have been completely reworked, although there are still three of them, and the options for interior colors have been changed. The infotainment system has been changed as well, and is now powered by a Google-based operating system similar to Android Auto. But Volvo hasn't forgotten Apple users, CarPlay is still standard.
