Our sole complaint is the coarse engine sound under heavy throttle when cruising, the powertrain is quiet and refined. The eight-speed automatic transmission handles gearchanges without delay and transmits no harshness to the cabin while doing so. The more powerful T5, which receives all-wheel drive as standard, helped our Momentum test vehicle scoot from zero to 60 mph in a reasonably brisk 6.2 seconds. Under the hood of every XC40 is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making either 184 or 248 horsepower (called T4 and T5, respectively). The ability to power fold the rear seats has evaporated from the XC40 lineup. A panoramic roof is standard on the R-Design. The Momentum now features power child locks for the rear doors, an automatically dimming rearview mirror, and heated windshield wiper blades. Cloth seats replace the previously standard leather on the base Momentum model, though it remains available as an option leather remains standard on the R-Design and Inscription models. What's New for 2020?Īs with other 2020 Volvo models, all XC40s come standard with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. If dynamic driving is a priority, the BMW X1 and the Jaguar F-Pace are top considerations, but the XC40's handsome looks and well-executed packaging make it a strong contender in the flourishing subcompact class. There's also abundant cargo stowage and plenty of bins and auxiliary repositories to keep things. The supportive seats are comfortable for extended stays and both rows are spacious. The front-wheel-drive T4 is powered by a 184-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four the T5 model unlocks a more potent 248-hp turbo-four and standard all-wheel drive. The interior offers comfort and spaciousness along with a decidedly Swedish atmosphere found in all of today's Volvos. With plenty of tech paired with a fun-to-drive nature, the 2020 Volvo XC40's fresh and spunky looks are aimed directly at hip and luxury-minded buyers.
