2021 Volvo XC40 First Review from freemexy's blog

The 2021 Volvo XC40 subcompact SUV/crossover SUV runs in a field crowded with excellent rivals like the Audi Q3, Lexus UX, BMW X1, and Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class. But its overall look, feel, and driving experience has made it an immediate hit, as its strong initial sales demonstrate.To get more news about Volvo news, you can visit shine news official website.

It’s so good that in its first year of existence (2019), it won two KBB Best Buy Awards. The 2021 model year now includes Volvo’s first completely electric vehicle (EV), the XC40 Recharge P8 AWD.

The 5-seater XC40 has the right combination of looks, size, and features at a price within the reach of young, affluent buyers. Its broad range of models, generous standard equipment, long list of sophisticated options, and punchy 2.0-liter turbocharged engine make the 2021 XC40 a superb choice.

How Much Does the 2021 Volvo XC40 Cost?
The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of a 2021 Volvo XC40 T4 Momentum is $33,700, plus a $995 destination fee, bringing the total to $34,695. The T4 R-Design is priced from $39,945, and the T4 Inscription is $40,445 before options.

The T5 Momentum starts at $36,695. T5 R-Design pushes the price to $41,945, and the range-topping T5 Inscription comes in at $42,445.

Loading up a T5 Inscription with most of the optional tech and the Harman Kardon sound system comes to around $45,500, which is on the bearable side of crazy. The starting and midpoints of the XC40 also compare well with its rivals. For example, the Lincoln MKC is priced similarly, but without all the safety features and amenities that come standard on the XC40.

There were no prices for the 2021 XC40 Recharge P8 AWD at the time of compiling this review. However, we anticipate it starting around $48,000 after federal and tax credits.

Before buying, check the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their new XC40. We don’t have any definitive data on resale values just yet, but we expect the XC40 to perform well in this respect.The turbocharged 4-cylinder engine of the T5 is even livelier than its 248 horsepower suggests. It’s a little dynamo, with minimal turbo lag. This subcompact luxury SUV will zip from standstill to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds and has plenty of muscle in reserve for higher-speed passing. In the front-drive T4 models, horsepower drops to an adequate 187.

The XC40 is exceptionally nimble and easy to maneuver, whether in a parking lot or on the freeway. Despite its short length and modest wheelbase, the XC40 is comfortable and adept at absorbing road imperfections. It’s also fun to push on a winding road, especially the R-Design models, with their sportier suspension and larger wheels.

Drivers will be grateful for the XC40 T5’s standard all-wheel drive and 8.3 inches of ground clearance whenever the weather turns rough. Grip is commendable when snaking around dry roads and confidence-inspiring in general. The elevated seating position is also excellent.
