Our review of the Volvo XC40
Compiled with the help of AI from the sources listed; facts checked automatically. We have not driven this car.
The Volvo XC40 is a compact SUV offered in the Netherlands only as a mild-hybrid petrol (B3 and B4), with an on-the-road list price from EUR 50,995 (provisional price list, valid from 9 November 2026). WLTP consumption is 6.6-7.3 l/100 km. Prices rise to EUR 58,495.
ANWB and Autozine praise the XC40's safety, equipment and neat finish, but ANWB found it expensive to buy, thirsty and fitted with a jerky dual-clutch gearbox. ANWB gave the B3 a 7.3. The tests cover earlier versions (ANWB 2023, Autozine 2018), not the current MY27.
Buy it if…
- you want a compact petrol SUV with a lot of safety equipment
- you want to tow 2,000 kg: the B4 can (B3: 1,600 kg)
- you value a neatly finished interior with practical details
Skip it if…
- you want low fuel use: ANWB measured 7.1 l/100 km with the B3
- you want a low purchase price: ANWB calls the XC40 expensive
- you want simple controls: ANWB finds the infotainment distracting
Best pick
XC40 B4 Mild Hybrid Core: For EUR 54,995 (EUR 2,000 more than the B3 Core) the price list gives 145 kW (197 hp) instead of 120 kW (163 hp), 0-100 km/h in 7.6 s instead of 8.6 s and 2,000 kg towing capacity instead of 1,600 kg. Provisional price list valid from 9 November 2026.

Cons
- According to ANWB, the XC40 is expensive to buy.
- ANWB measured high fuel use of 7.1 l/100 km with the B3.
- According to ANWB, the dual-clutch gearbox is jerky when pulling away and slow to react.

Driving and drivetrain
The B3 mild hybrid delivers 120 kW (163 hp) and reaches 100 km/h in 8.6 s; the B4 has 145 kW (197 hp) and takes 7.6 s. Both have an automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive, with a top speed of 180 km/h. ANWB found the dual-clutch gearbox of the tested B3 jerky when pulling away.
Safety
