Why You Should Consider the 2024 Volvo XC40
January 10 2024,
The 2024 Volvo XC40 is a great choice in the competitive premium sub-compact SUV segment thanks to its complete list of features, its practicality, and its stylish design. Here is a closer look at these advantages that make the XC40 stand out.
A powerful and efficient electrified engine
The 2024 Volvo XC40 benefits from a very modern powertrain that incorporates the latest mild-hybrid technology from the Swedish automaker. This system uses a 48-volt battery and a small electric motor to provide a boost of torque and fuel efficiency to the already impressive 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that has been used in every gasoline-powered Volvo model for the last few years. This powertrain generates an output of 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque while keeping an average fuel consumption of only 9.0 L/100 km, making for considerable savings when compared with some other SUVs in the same category.
A stylish appearance
The 2024 Volvo XC40 showcases the same design language as the other Volvo models, which means it is one of the most elegant and modern-looking vehicles in its segment. This can be seen in the overall shape of the XC40, which is more “upright” than many of its competitors, making it look more imposing and statelier. Another important design element resides in the Thor’s hammer headlamps and the vertical taillamps, which have been hallmarks of Volvo design for many years now. By leveraging its Scandinavian origin in the design process, Volvo also gives a distinctive touch to the XC40 when compared to its German and Japanese competitors. The interior of the XC40 is also held to a high standard of design and this is one of the reasons why it still feels so modern even after a few years on the market without having received major modifications.
Advanced technologies
The 2024 Volvo XC40 is equipped with a long list of advanced technologies that enhance its safety, its connectivity, and its convenience. For example, the infotainment system is the very capable Google Built-in system that has been introduced to the entire Volvo lineup over the last few years. This technology benefits from a high-level of integration within the Google ecosystem, which means driver can control their compatible connected devices right from their vehicle. Another feature of the Google Built-in infotainment system is the native integration of Google Maps and the Google Assistant, which makes it possible to use many of the vehicle’s features only via voice commands.
A high level of practicality
The 2024 Volvo XC40 is also a very practical vehicle for its size thanks to its upright design that makes for a very efficient use of space when compared with other models which have a lower roofline. This translates into a large amount of usable interior space for both the passenger and cargo compartments, with up to 1,328 liters of cargo capacity with the rear seats folded down and a very respectable 443 litres with the rear seats left in place.
