What's new for 2022
There were a lot of strengths in the 2021 model so not much has changed for 2022 in Volvo's smallest SUV. When you view our new Volvo models, you might notice one helpful addition: wireless smartphone charging that gives you a safer, easier way to keep your phone powered up. The XC40 no longer has a standard power-operated liftgate but it's available as a convenient option in all Volvo XC40 models.
Performance
The Volvo XC40 offers two engines, both of which are turbocharged four-cylinder power plants. The T4 produces 184 horsepower while the T5 generates 248 horsepower. The T5 also comes with the extra traction and icy weather performance of all-wheel drive. Both engines are discreetly quiet, communicating a more upscale presence. Towing is surprisingly muscular for a subcompact luxury SUV, coming in at 3500 pounds.
Interior
The inside of the Volvo XC40 is an appealing combination of modern Swedish design and practical innovation. The atmosphere has been described as "light and airy," and results in a premium feeling. There's plenty of space for passengers in both front and rear seats, another strength not commonly found in smaller vehicles from any brand. At the top of the range, amenities like an Orrefors crystal shift knob are downright luxurious.
Volvo designers were considerate of their customers when they added helpful interior touches like a divider in the cargo area, a glovebox hook that can handle takeout bags and a removable trash bin equipped with a hinged door in the middle console. They're all features that buyers from Evans, GA and Grovetown SC will appreciate.
Infotainment
A 9-inch touchscreen provides a visual overview of the Sensus Connect infotainment system. Instead of scattering information all over, this one screen allows you to control most of the Volvo XC40's interior functions. Smartphone integration is included for both Apple and Android devices and two USB ports are installed up front. A 12.3-inch digital gauge display is standard in all trims. Eight speakers are standard, 14 are available.
Safety
Safety has been Volvo's calling card for many years and even in a smaller model like the XC40, there's no scrimping when it comes to keeping you and your family safe. The 2022 Volvo XC40 has already received a Top Safety Pick+ designation from the IIHS. In addition, NHTSA was similarly impressed, granting the XC40 five stars, their highest safety rating.
Specific features include a warning to the driver in the event of an imminent collision ahead and automatic emergency braking to help avoid a collision or protect a passenger it sees that you might not. Other systems help you stay safely in your lane and watch for vehicles in your blind spot.
