The Car Guide rating 76%(view ratings)
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.
