The Volvo XC40 is a subcompact luxury SUV and the automaker's smallest model. However, that designation belies the vehicle's impressive refinement and versatility. The Volvo XC40 offers classy accommodations, flexible cargo capacity, and ample passenger space with minimal exterior space requirements. It's also enjoyable to drive, thanks to its nimble handling and peppy powerplant. The Volvo XC40 is an excellent choice for discerning Chicago drivers seeking a premium driving experience and enhanced practicality with city-friendly maneuverability.

Beginning with the 2024 model year, the Volvo XC40 comes standard with the B5 mild-hybrid powertrain. It combines a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a small electric motor, producing 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission optimizes responsiveness and efficiency, and all-wheel drive is standard, providing surefooted handling for all seasons. In addition to the features in the above list, the Volvo XC40 comes standard with wireless device charging, a hands-free liftgate, and an 8-speaker Volvo High Performance audio system. Notable upgrades include a 360-degree camera system, a panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, and the Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system.

The Volvo XC40 Recharge is a full-electric variant available in two performance levels, including a new single-motor rear-wheel-drive option with 248 horsepower and 293 miles of estimated range. The dual-motor AWD powertrain boasts 402 horsepower and achieves an estimated 254 miles of range.

If you're shopping for a roomier Volvo SUV experience while retaining convenient space requirements, the Volvo XC60 represents a compelling choice.

The Volvo XC60 also gets a few additions to the standard features list, including a panoramic roof, power-folding rear headrests, and a 10-speaker Volvo High Performance audio system.

The Volvo XC60 is propelled by the same standard B5 mild-hybrid powertrain as the Volvo XC40. However, it's also available in plug-in hybrid form. The Volvo XC60 Recharge combines the base turbo-four with a supercharger and an electric powertrain, resulting in a prodigious 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque. It also achieves an EPA-estimated 35 miles of pure-electric range, letting you enjoy an EV experience without relying on solely on battery power.
