Volvo XC40 - first test mule spotted

This early test mule is the first evidence that development work on the Volvo XC40 small SUV is under way. Based on the current V40, this jacked-up engineering mule features larger wheels and extended wheel arches - suggesting it is testing running gear for the smallest member of Volvo's SUV family,...

Re: XC40 to use the new CMA platform

The small crossover is expected to be ready by early 2018, offered with a range of Drive-E four-cylinder engines. It is said to be quickly followed by the next-generation V40 and V40 Cross Country, both underpinned by the same CMA platform and slated for 2019.

Re: Volvo XC40 Spy Photos

The model has been in the works for several years, however it is believed to have been put on the back burner in 2013 due to incompatibility with the new platform that underpinned the higher-priority XC90. The larger crossover is now on the market and experiencing better-than-expected demand, switch...

Volvo XC40 R-Design?

Love the look of the R-Design models, do you think we'll see one for the XC40? Speaking of the additions we will be seeing in the R-Design, the exteriors are distinguished by 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, silver-effect door mirrors, gloss black mesh front grille and tinted rear windows.

Greetings from UK!

Dear XC40 Forum Users,

Just a quick intro from the UK. I've owned a superb 2006 XC90 D5 SE since new, too big for what I need so when the time right I think the XC40 will be what I'm looking for.

Looking forward to discovering XC40 through the experience of the forum members.

Best regards,
