Volvo India has launched its compact luxury SUV, the XC40.
This is Volvo’s smallest and most affordable SUV in India. The 5-seater SUV is available at an introductory price of ₹39.90 Lakh (ex-showroom India).
The XC40 gets the familiar Volvo front grill with Thor’s hammer like LED daytime running lights. Dual tone colour option is available on the R-Design trim. Smoked headlamps, blackened A-pillars with black roof is standard on all trims.
The interiors are decked up with premium black upholstery with a contrasting lava red flooring and door inserts.
The 9-inch Sensus multimedia system gets Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Wireless Phone Charging, a 13-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, panoramic sunroof, and the virtual instrument cluster are all standard.
Being a Volvo, safety is paramount and the XC40 has 7 airbags and a whole bunch of radar assisted features.
It is powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that makes 187 bhp of peak power and 400 Nm of peak torque. The power is delivered via an 8-speed automatic transmission. There is no petrol variant on offer as of now.
The XC40 will compete with the likes of BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA and the Range Rover Evoque.
