The Volvo XC40 is what happened when Volvo decided to leap, for the first time, into the compact SUV arena.

Engine choices are all Volvo’s four-cylinder block, and follow simple naming conventions: D for diesel, T for turbo petrol. Then a number: 3 is around 150bhp, 4 is 190bhp and 5 is 250bhp. The choice is diesels as D3 and D4, plus petrols as T3, T4 and T5. Manual and front-wheel drive are available for the D3 and T3, but higher up the power scale it becomes all-wheel drive and automatic gearbox only.

The cabin is amped-up a bit compared with the conservative vibe of the bigger Volvos. All versions get both a full-size center-dash connected screen with fully traffic-aware navigation, and a full-TFT driver display. This is the sort of vehicle that rival premium makers always show in their advertisements but actually charge extra for. Same goes for LED headlights and 18-inch wheels. As always with Volvo’s touchscreen system, it’s got nice graphics and understandable menus. But easy to understand isn’t the same as easy to use. The seats are terrific, and the driving position is generally fine. It’s an SUV position, with your back upright and your legs down. Rear leg and headroom are sufficient for adults. Kids might find the rising window line restricts off their sideways view. The trunk floor does a clever origami up-fold that divides the trunk into two. The parcel shelf fits under the floor too.
