2026 Volvo XC40 B5 Ultra Black Edition

The XC40 is Volvo's smallest crossover, a premium subcompact SUV that blends city-friendly dimensions with a touch of Scandinavian flair. It squares off against the BMW X1, Audi Q3, and Mercedes-Benz GLA, offering a more distinctive design and a focus on comfort. The XC40 feels light on its feet in town, with responsive steering and a composed ride that makes daily driving genuinely pleasant. Inside, the cabin is airy and well-built, with supportive seats and a clean layout that puts controls within easy reach. Cargo space is generous for the class, and the tall roofline makes it easy to load bulky items or fit rear passengers comfortably. The Black Edition sits at the top of the XC40 range, adding unique black exterior trim and 20-inch black diamond-cut wheels over the B5 Ultra. Its 2.0L I4 hybrid makes 247 horsepower and routes power through all-wheel drive, returning 26 mpg combined. The Black Edition's charcoal Connect Suede Textile and Microtech upholstery gives the cabin a sporty, leather-free feel that's unique to this trim.
