Buckle up! The Volvo XC40 Estate 2.0, B4P R‑,,DESIGN is a breath of fresh Swedish air in the compact SUV segment. With a sprightly 2.0‑,,,litre petrol engine delivering 197bhp and 300Nm of torque, it launches with verve ? the 0- 62 ,,,mph figure hovering around 8.4 seconds for FWD versions says it all. From the outside, the R‑,,,,,DESIGN trim brings sporty attitude in spades. Gloss‑,,,black roof, sharp 18″,,, or optional 20″,,, alloys, twin integrated exhausts and those signature black mirror caps all hint at performance‑,,,focused styling. Step inside and the atmosphere shifts to savvy, comfortable and refined. Nappa/leather seats, sports suspension and black‑,,,trim detailing ensure the ride both looks and feels premium. Practicality hasn?t been forgotten. With around 578 litres of luggage space in many specs and a 60/40 rear split, this XC40 balances everyday usability and weekend escape potential.
