The Volvo XC40 blends generous passenger space and a practical boot with a superb interior, excellent ride comfort and top-notch safety. That makes it a hugely desirable product backed up by real substance. If you do buy one, we recommend the B3 petrol engine and mid-spec Plus trim.
Entry-level Core trim gives you the basics, including cruise control, keyless start, dual-zone climate control, LED headlights, heated front seats and rear parking sensors. It also has 18in alloy wheels and a powered tailgate.
We've yet to drive this single motor rear-wheel-drive version, but we reckon it's the best choice because the four-wheel drive model is much more expensive.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
