2024 Volvo XC40 B5 Plus Dark Theme

The 2024 XC40 is Volvo's compact luxury SUV, slotting below the XC60 and competing with the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. The XC40 drives with a composed, planted feel, and the steering is light but accurate enough for city and highway work. Inside, the cabin is neatly styled with quality materials, and the upright seating gives a commanding view of the road. Cargo space is generous for the class, and the boxy shape makes loading bulky items easy. The Dark Theme trim is the one to pick if you want the blacked-out exterior accents; the Plus Bright Theme keeps the chrome trim instead. The 2.0L I4 hybrid makes 247 horsepower and uses a eight-speed automatic with all-wheel drive, and the mild-hybrid system smooths out the stop-start cycles around town. The 360-degree camera and blind-spot system with steer assist are standard on this trim, making tight parking and lane changes easier.
