About the Volvo XC40 B4 (2024)
Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.
The XC40 has been on the market since 2017 on Geely's CMA platform, shared with the Polestar 2. The B4 mild-hybrid variant uses a 2.0 petrol four-cylinder with a 48V starter-generator that recovers braking energy and supports the engine briefly under acceleration. System power 197 hp, WLTP consumption 6.7 l/100km (manufacturer figure). The 2024 facelift introduced revised headlights, a closed grille, new colours and a software update; mechanically little changed.
In practice
WLTP is 6.7 l/100km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Owners report mixed around 7.6 l/100km on a yearly average including motorway (owner forums, n approx 18, not measured by us). Boot 452 l, braked towing weight 2,100 kg. The indicative list price rose from about 40,995 euro (reference date early 2024) to 42,995 euro now, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.
Points to note
Almost all controls run via the central screen; physical buttons for climate are absent. The Recharge plug-in version was phased out in part of the EU in favour of the fully electric EX40; check per market what is on offer. The rearward view is moderate due to the thick C-pillar (recurring owner point).
