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.
This 2.0-litre petrol engine packs 194bhp, so acceleration is surprisingly nippy with 0-62mph taking just 7.6sec. The B4 is a good engine and well worth considering if you want a bit more oomph than the B3 provides – but just be aware that it pushes the price up quite a bit.
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
