For more than 90 years Volvo has been producing some of the most reliable cars in the world, and the XC40 is no exception. With an impressive range of features and a premium interior, the XC40 stands out from the crowd as one of the most desirable midsize SUVs in its class.

The interior is where the XC40 really shines, with a modern and minimalist design. It offers plenty of space for five adults and the boot is surprisingly large for a compact SUV. There’s also a good selection of standard equipment, including heated leather seats and a power tailgate. The cabin also features a wide range of cutting-edge tech items such as a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a voice-controlled digital assistant.

On the road, the XC40 is a pleasure to drive offering responsive handling and sharp steering. It also offers a choice of engines including a peppy 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, a powerful 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel and a potent hybrid for maximum power and efficiency.

Safety is a priority for Volvo, and the XC40 is packed with driver assistance systems to keep you and your passengers safe. Blind spot monitoring and lane- keeping assist help to keep you in your lane and minimise the risk of a collision.

The XC40 was highly praised when it was released, awarded the World Car of the Year in 2018. It’s easy to see why – the car ticks all the boxes for a compact but luxury SUV. It looks great, has a premium interior, is packed with tech and is surprisingly fun to drive.

If you’re looking for a premium compact SUV, the Volvo XC40 definitely deserves a place on your shortlist. It’s a great choice for families or for those who want a premium car with plenty of space and a sense of luxury. The XC40 is a great all-round car that will make any journey a comfortable and enjoyable one.
