Volvo’s smallest crossover gets refreshed styling for 2023, though you might not see the difference with the previous XC40 at first. When it comes to infotainment, the new Google-powered system expands into all models. The turbocharged 2.0-litre gasoline engine gains 48V mild hybrid technology, hence the new B4 and B5 monikers. Unlike many other Volvos, there is no plug-in hybrid variant here, but a fully electric XC40 Recharge is available.
Pros
- Attractive design
- Very comfortable seats
- Refined ride
Cons
- Cargo volume below average
- Slow and distracting multimedia system
