The 2026 Volvo XC40 is a stylish and compact luxury SUV that blends Scandinavian design with modern tech and safety features. For 2026, Volvo reintroduces the front-wheel-drive B4 mild hybrid powertrain, alongside the more powerful B5 AWD variant. Both use a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The XC40’s refreshed infotainment system, powered by Google Built-In, offers a more responsive and intuitive experience, while standard features now include adaptive cruise control and park assist.

Inside, the XC40 continues to impress with a clean, minimalist cabin that prioritizes comfort and usability. New exterior colors and a Black Edition trim add visual flair, while Volvo’s commitment to safety remains evident through its crash test scores and driver assistance suite.

Car and Driver awarded the 2026 XC40 a stellar 9.5 out of 10 rating, praising its balance of luxury, practicality, and design. As they put it, "The attractive, refined, and well-appointed XC40 shows that Volvo is a top player in the subcompact luxury SUV segment".
