New Volvo XC40 at Merrimack St. Volvo in Manchester

The Volvo XC40 is an outstanding luxury subcompact SUV with many family-friendly features, an elegant design, and excellent performance. It's great value for money as well, making it worth a close look for Manchester customers.

Performance

There are two drivetrain choices for the new XC40. The base engine is a turbo V4 rated at 194 horsepower. It also has a mild hybrid system with 48 volts to help reduce fuel consumption. This engine has front-wheel drive. It feels responsive and provides enough power to get around, but it doesn't reach sporty levels of power. The upgrade engine is also a turbo V4, but it gets 247 horsepower and uses the same mild hybrid system. It also uses all-wheel drive. It's a more fun and engaging drive thanks to the boosted power, but it is slightly less fuel-efficient.

Technology

The XC40 uses a vertically arranged 9-inch touchscreen powered by Google, which is fairly easy to use. Bluetooth, Apple Car Play, and Android Auto are standard features. It has other enticing standard features, such as a digital instrument cluster, satellite radio, and dual automatic climate zones. The sound system starts with eight speakers and can be upgraded to have more. Optional features for tech include keyless entry and a universal garage door opener. The XC40 also has a strong set of automated safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and blind spot monitoring to minimize the risk and impact of accidents.

Interior and Exterior

The XC line of SUVs is known for their appealing design. The XC40 is the smallest vehicle in the lineup and has a smooth, elegant look that serves the dual purpose of being attractive while minimizing any obstructions to the driver's sightline. The interior follows a minimalist, graceful philosophy, centralizing the tech to the dashboard and using high-end materials and restrained styling. The interior and exterior complement each other well, and the overall impression is of a luxurious and elegant SUV that stands out on the street without drawing attention to itself with a gimmick.

Features

The features that come with the XC40 depend to a large extent on its trim level. Compared to other subcompact SUVs in the luxury category, the XC40 has a good set of offerings at each trim level, making it an appealing value buy. For example, its standard set of automated safety features is strong, and the standard comfort features include heated front seats and memory settings for powered seat adjustments. Leather upholstery is available on all trims for Bedford, NH and Merrimack drivers.

Trim Levels

The XC40 has three trim levels. Each trim starts with the base engine and can be upgraded to add the larger engine plus all-wheel drive in a standard option. The base trim, the Core model, has all the standard features plus a few options: the engine, leather upholstery, and two packages with convenience and comfort, respectively. The second trim level is called the Plus. It adds on a moonroof, fog lights, powered passenger seat controls, and a few more features and makes leather a free upgrade. It has access to an optional sound system upgrade and an optional set of automated driving features. The top trim, the Ultimate, has all the lower trims' features rolled in except the engine, plus optional upgraded headlights.
