The 2019 Volvo XC40 might be the “little sister” of the model lineup, but it may also prove to be the most popular.
The Volvo XC40 crossover SUV is the smaller of its Volvo XC60 and Volvo XC90 siblings. But just what is this vehicle capable of?
The 2019 Volvo XC40 Examined
Here’s a brief overview of what to expect from the new Volvo XC40.
Style
The angled grille, broad shoulder lines, and large alloy wheels make the 2019 Volvo XC40 appear larger than its actual size. And adding to this crossover’s spacious feel is the panoramic moonroof that opens up the sky to backseat passengers.
Inside, the Volvo XC40 is highlighted by high-energy color schemes and hand-stitched leather cradling the steering wheel and shifting knob.
Performance
A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine serves as the foundation for 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. of torque in the new Volvo XC40. The engine is complemented nicely by an 8-speed transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD) system.
Technology
The 2019 Volvo XC40 comes packed with technology. A 9-inch center screen serves as the command center for applications such as Sensus Connect, Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Bluetooth® while three USB connectivity ports accommodate smartphone users. This comes in addition to a 12.3-inch driver instrument panel and an optional 13-speaker premium audio system.
Interior space
The compact Volvo XC40 makes efficient use of its space, with 20.7 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats folded up and a generous 47.2 cubic feet when folded down. Passengers will also have plenty of room with 40.9 inches of legroom found up front and a competitive 36.1 inches in the rear.
Safety
Volvo vehicles are typically well-equipped with safety features and the 2019 Volvo XC40 does not take a backseat in that regard. The standard City Safety emergency automatic braking system detects not only other vehicles but also pedestrians, cyclists, and even animals.
An automatic steering collision mitigation system, lane keep assist, run-off road mitigation, and a rearview camera also all come standard, while the Vision and Convenience packages give drivers even more safety options.
