The 2018 Volvo XC40 is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder Volvo D4 diesel engine that produces 190 bhp and 400 Nm torque. This is paired with an Isin-sourced 8-speed automatic gearbox, and also comes with Haldex permanent all-wheel drive system. By default, you get 18-inch alloy wheels running on Pirelli P-Zero tyres, and inside, even this entry-segment offering from Volvo includes the fantastic 9-inch Sensus infotainment system and a 13-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. In terms of looks, the Volvo XC40 includes many design elements from its pricier siblings, but still manages to make its unique, boxy, upright presence. Elements like the angular tail LEDs and the Thor's Hammer DRLs are all in place, and those familiar with Volvos will immediately recognise the signature side profile as well.
