The Volvo XC40 has been a key part of the brand’s revolution. It isn’t really a resurrection, because Volvo was hardly dead before 2015, but the arrival of the XC90, followed by the S90, signalled a changing of the guard for the Swedish firm. Then the XC40 arrived as a compact alternative to the Audi Q3 and BMW X1, and the brand’s stock only rose as customers clamoured for something cool, stylish and practical, yet also luxurious.
It seems demand has never really eased for Volvo’s compact SUV, but the car’s rivals have taken steps to redress the balance. There’s a new BMW X1 on the scene, for example, and Jaguar completely revamped the E-Pace. The point is, the XC40 has had to evolve to remain among the big players, and Volvo has done exactly that. Tech updates and tweaks to the engine range have been big updates of late, but have they been enough to ensure the XC40 remains worthy of a place on customers’ shortlists?
