You can learn more about each model on this page and what makes it stand out in its specific size class to help you decide if any of them are a good fit for you.
Volvo XC40
The 2021 Volvo XC40 is the smallest SUV in the luxury SUV collection from Volvo. It is a subcompact with room to seat five people, so it is also a crossover. It has a lot of car-like elements, such as a strong fuel economy. However, it has quite a bit more room than a car would have.
The included tech and safety features are extensive, and there are two strong engines to choose from at our dealership near Bedford, NH. Both are turbocharged, and both are V4s. The base engine gets 184 horsepower, which feels good and drives the vehicle. The upgrade makes 248 horsepower, which is a considerable increase over the base.
Volvo XC60
As you might expect, the 2021 Volvo XC60 is the next size up. It falls into the compact category because it still has two rows, but the interior space is even greater than in the XC40, both for passengers and cargo. The interior quality also takes a step up in design and materials. Its engine selection is notably more potent than the XC40 as well.
The base engine gets 250 horsepower out of a turbocharged V4. The next engine adds a supercharger to that and boosts the output to 316 horsepower, and the supercharger delivers a better acceleration experience. You can choose from several different trim levels, including the Inscription and Momentum. The top engine is a hybrid model that needs to plug in to charge, but it tops out at 400 horsepower and a low gas consumption rate.
Volvo XC90
The 2021 Volvo XC90 is a midsize SUV, and it's the largest of the Volvo offerings. It has three rows and enough seats for six or seven people in total, depending on whether you configure the middle row to be a bench or two captain's chairs. It has the same engines as the XC60. Note that the hybrid drivetrain, the one with 400 horsepower, is known as the 2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid.
The XC90 has a lot of standard features in its base trim, the Momentum. If you want some upgrades to performance or comfort, the R-Design and Inscription trims have some appealing changes. You can combine any engine with any trim. The trim levels are the same on the XC60 and XC40, making it easy to decide which feature set is the best for you. It's good to see that so many features are in the base trim, however, because that means you get the full benefit of the SUV without being forced to spend money on an upper trim.
