Volvo XC40 Estate 2.0 B4P Ultra Dark 5dr Auto ? First Look Volvo?s XC40 continues to prove that compact SUVs can be both stylish and sensible. In B4P Ultra Dark trim, it gets a sharper, more brooding edge ? think stealth wealth with a Swedish accent. Power comes from a 2.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine producing 197bhp, channelled through a slick 8-speed automatic gearbox. It?s not a hot hatch replacement, but performance is brisk enough, with the mild-hybrid system lending a smoother, more responsive feel in stop-start traffic and urban jaunts. Refinement is excellent, and the ride ? even on larger wheels ? remains supple and composed. The Ultra Dark pack dials up the visual drama. Gloss black window trim, dark badging and black 19-inch alloys give the XC40 a purposeful stance without tipping into aggression. Inside, Volvo?s signature cabin design remains a masterclass in minimalist luxury: clean lines, top-notch materials, and that crisp Google-powered infotainment system. Practicality hasn?t been sacrificed for style. The XC40 offers a generous 452-litre boot, clever storage throughout, and rear space that comfortably accommodates adults ? a rare strength in the compact premium SUV class. On the road, the B4P is all about calm control. It?s not built to thrill, but it?s supremely competent ? quiet, comfortable and reassuringly solid. As a daily driver with class, character and just enough attitude, the XC40 B4P Ultra Dark strikes a near-perfect balance between Nordic cool and everyday usability.
