Strap in, folks—this one’s a real gem. If you're after a compact SUV that delivers style, substance, and a genuinely engaging drive, feast your eyes on this: the 2021 Volvo XC40 T3 R-Design, finished in the show-stopping Bursting Blue metallic with sleek Charcoal part leather upholstery. With just 13,651 miles on the clock and a manual gearbox (yes, you read that right), this is the driver-focused XC40 you've been waiting for. Let’s start with that engine. Under the bonnet is the punchy 1.5-litre turbocharged T3 petrol engine, delivering smooth, confident power with a fizzy urgency that makes this XC40 feel more hatchback than SUV. Paired to a slick-shifting 6-speed manual, this is a car for those who still appreciate the tactile joy of rowing their own gears—and trust us, it's properly fun. Then there’s the R-Design trim. This isn’t your average XC40—this is Volvo with an edge. Gloss black detailing, bold alloy wheels, LED lights, and a lower, sportier stance give it serious street presence. And in Bursting Blue, it practically crackles with energy. It’s the kind of car that turns heads everywhere it goes. Step inside and the R-Design magic continues: the cabin is pure Scandi-cool, with Charcoal part leather sports seats, crisp digital displays, and Volvo’s trademark minimalist layout. It’s not just good looking—it’s a calming, tech-packed haven. ???? Spec highlights include: ? 1.5L T3 Turbo Petrol with 6-speed manual – lively, refined, and rare! ?
