About the 2021 Volvo XC40
Setting a new benchmark for safety, design, and technology in the compact SUV segment, Volvo is proud to introduce the 2021 XC40. Engineered with award-winning technology found on the XC90 and XC60 models, the XC40 remains as one of the safest, well-equipped compact SUVs available on the market. With the introduction of the XC40, the Volvo SUV lineup now features three of the most in-demand vehicles in their respective segments. The mid-sized XC60 continues to receive praise, while the larger XC90 remains the most awarded SUV of the century.
The XC40 is the first model on Volvo Cars' new Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), which will provide the foundation for upcoming vehicles in the 40 series. In terms of performance, you'll have your choice of a standard T4 powertrain featuring an efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque with front-wheel drive. Searching for more muscle? Step up to the T5 powertrain and you'll receive a more responsive turbocharged four-cylinder with 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque along with a capable all-wheel drive system. Both of these powertrains come mated to a responsive 8-speed Geartronic™ automatic transmission. No matter what your weekend agenda looks like, you'll be equipped to take on any challenge with the stylish XC40.
What the Critics Say
"Despite being the least expensive SUV in Volvo's lineup, cost-cutting measures are kept to a minimum. The XC40's large central touchscreen, digital instrument panel and floating air vents are nearly identical to Volvo's pricier offerings, while a robust set of driver aids keeps driver and passengers safe. In short, it's everything you would expect from a small Volvo." -- Edmunds
"The 5-seater XC40 has the right combination of looks, size, and features at a price within the reach of young, affluent buyers. Its broad range of models, generous standard equipment, long list of sophisticated options, and punchy 2.0-liter turbocharged engine make the 2021 XC40 a superb choice." -- Kelley Blue Book
What's New for 2021
Returning for 2021, the Volvo XC40 now includes more standard features to make it an even more impressive value than last year. Newly-standard features found on every XC40 include blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross-traffic alert, leather seating surfaces, adaptive LED headlights, power-folding exterior mirrors with auto-dimming, rear parking sensors, and two rear-seat USB-C ports. The XC40 no longer offers the previously-optional adaptive suspension system. Lastly, a cargo-area 12-volt power outlet and heated windshield wiper blades are now found in option packages.
