What's a compact SUV? If you're playing catch-up with the latest vehicle lingo, it's helpful to know what encompasses this popular compact SUV segment. The tell-tale features of a compact SUV include a scaled-down SUV look, the ability to hold 5 passengers, and ample storage. Compact SUVs are also occasionally referred to as crossovers.
This vehicle segment is popular for its versatility as it shares features of both a full-sized SUV and a sedan. The compact SUV meets consumers in the middle with ample space, storage, and comfort - and when you get into the luxury compact SUV space, these conveniences are combined with smart technology and safety features you simply cannot live without.
Beauty
The design theme of the XC40 can be described as contemporary Swedish, with playful elements mixed in. Features such as textured metallic trim and vents adorned with chrome adjusters bring a youthful vibe to both the Momentum and R-Design trims. The Inscription models on the other hand feature a more classic design, with driftwood trim and an Orrefors crystal shift knob.
In total, there are six trim models to choose from, starting with the T4 Momentum, T5 Momentum, and T4 R-Design, and rounding out with the T4 Inscription, T5 R-Design, and T5 Inscription. In addition, a fully electric P8 R-Design is also available. Each is outfitted with its own set of features and benefits. Visit the official Volvo site for details on each offering.
Function
Volvo's designers have truly thought of it all with features that make getting from point A to point B much more convenient. In the 2022 Volvo XC40, you'll find a hook that flips out from the glove box to hold purses or takeout bags, a removable waste bin in the center console, extra storage bins, and a built-in cargo divider for optimal organization. Other tech-saavy features include a wireless device charging pad, smartphone integration, an eight-speaker audio system, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
Safety
As in all Volvo vehicles, a hefty list of driver assistance technology is included in each trim level - and even more options are available. Automated Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keeping Assist are among the standard safety features. Once you experience them, you'll wonder how you ever did without. They greatly reduce accidents and in certain situations, save lives. That's one thing you can't put a price tag on.
Warranty
The new XC40 comes with a generous 48 month/50,000 mile basic warranty and includes 36 months/36,000 miles of maintenance.
The 2022 Volvo XC40 is also available as a pure electric vehicle: the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge. The Recharge is the perfect solution for eco-conscious consumers looking to minimize their carbon emissions.
