Volvo was known for square/box-like, safe vehicles for many years. As time progresses, though, designs change, especially for Volvo vehicles. Modern Volvo SUVs are sleek, expressive, and everything Austin drivers are seeking. The all-new Volvo XC40 follows Volvo's modern path: an upscaled, delightful SUV that will make anyone feel young again.
A New Performance Direction
For the 2024 Volvo XC40, changes have been made to the drivetrain. The B4, front-wheel-drive drivetrain that produced 194 horsepower is no longer available. Instead, Lakeway drivers will get accustomed to the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged B5 drivetrain, that produces 247 horsepower and comes with all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. This was already an option on the previous Volvo XC40 models, but now it's the sole choice. In addition to the drivetrain decision, the 2024 Volvo XC40 also comes standard with a 48-volt hybrid system.
It's rare for luxury vehicles to have immense towing capabilities; however, this isn't the case for Volvo crossovers. When you have a trailer or something else to tow, you don't need a pickup truck to get the job done. The 2024 Volvo XC40 can carry up to 3,500 pounds in towing capacity, an elite number for a luxury crossover.
The Volvo XC40 offers competitive fuel-economy ratings compared to other luxury vehicles. Providing a fuel-economy rating of 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, this competent SUV continues to please San Marcos drivers.
Interior Comfort as Usual
When Bee Cave drivers purchase a Volvo, they expect upscaled comfort like never before; it's a staple feature of every Volvo. The classic, contemporary Swedish interior drivers have come to love is still around. Inside the 2024 Volvo XC40, you're welcomed to a light and airy atmosphere, with room to relax on every adventure. Your passengers – whether front-seat or back-seat – are greeted with the exact same feeling.
The interior is functional, and we'd even say it's luxurious. For the Plus trim, the traditional wood inlays are replaced by a textured metallic trim. For the Ultimate trim, drivers are introduced to a beautiful driftwood trim and an Orrefors crystal shift knob. To add additional luxury, the 2024 Volvo XC40 can carry around 23 carry-on suitcases when the rear seats are folded. Not only is there luxury for you, but there's luxury for all your passengers and personal belongings.
Technology at Its' Finest
While Apple and Android infotainment systems power most vehicles, the Volvo XC40 uses Google. Google Maps powers the regular navigation system. Drivers can sign into their Google account inside the Volvo XC40 and connect their contacts and favorites. All voice controls are operated through Google Assistant, which is simple to use and understands many commands.
The Google-based infotainment system is positioned in the dashboard's center, making it easy for Pflugerville drivers to see their nine-inch touchscreen and the road simultaneously. Just about every feature within the cabin is controlled through this touchscreen, while a few physical buttons still exist.
Safety First, Always
It's common for Volvo vehicles to provide many different driver-assistance technologies, and the 2024 Volvo XC40 is no exception. To show you how much Volvo prioritizes safety above all else, here are some standard safety features included in the 2024 Volvo XC40:
- Automated emergency braking
- Blind-spot assistance
- Cross-traffic alert
- Lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
