Volvo XC 40
Volvo has just launched the Volvo XC 40 facelift in India. This mid-lifecycle update has brought in a new mild-hybrid powertrain and updated styling, among other changes. We take it out for a spin and tell you what the Volvo XC40 facelift is like.
Volvo has given the XC40 sharper styling this time around, with more angular headlights that retain the signature ‘Thor’s hammer’ LED Daytime Running Lights, and a new bumper with triangular fog lamp housings that’s finished in gloss black. The rest of the elements remain unchanged up front, so it continues to get a big, gloss black grille with the Volvo logo in chrome and the clamshell bonnet design.
Along the side, the XC40 facelift has gained a new design for the alloy wheels. However, the five-spoke silver-coloured alloys look quite plain in comparison to the pre-facelift car’s dual-tone diamond-cut design. Volvo has also chosen to leave out the dual-tone paint scheme, with the roof now being body coloured. Interestingly though, the Volvo XC 40 facelift does get black wing mirrors and roof rails.
Changes to the rear are very minimal and will take a keen eye to notice them. Gone is the T4 badge from the tailgate and in comes the new B4 badge, signifying its powertrain. The other minor change is that the rear skid plate is now finished in black, in place of the silver on the older model.
Overall, this can be classified as a subtle update instead of a full-blown facelift. While the sharper design keeps it updated with newer rivals, we can’t help but think that the outgoing, sporty R-Design variant looked much better as an overall package.
Much like the exterior, the interior of the Volvo XC 40 only gets minor changes. The cabin has a minimalist design and is made up of high quality materials, like you’d expect from a Volvo. The Volvo XC 40 facelift gets new, open-pore wood inlay on the dashboard and door cards, which help uplift the ambience and gloss black detailing around the AC vents, touchscreen, and the centre console looks neat. The car we’ve tested came with an all-black interior theme, but buyers can also opt for a beige theme.
The chunky, leather-wrapped steering wheel is unchanged from the outgoing model, which is no bad thing, but surprisingly, it does miss out on paddle shifters. Meanwhile, the 9-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen now uses an Android-based system and gets integrated Google services. The infotainment system is slick in its operation, but it can get confusing and takes some time to figure out.
Furthermore, the HVAC controls are still located in the touchscreen, and while it is easy to find, it just isn’t as convenient as physical buttons. Volvo has also taken the opportunity to update the graphics of the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and the only other notable change on the inside is the new crystal gear lever.
The front seats are excellent in terms of support and cushioning and offer loads of electric adjustability. The driver’s seat also gets a memory function, but heated and ventilated seats are missing, which would have been nice.
At the rear, there’s good amount of room on offer and the seats are comfy too, but the backrest is a bit too upright. The all-black theme can also make you feel hemmed in, but the large panoramic sunroof does a great deal to alleviate that. Furthermore, the XC40’s boot gets a flat floor and can easily swallow up luggage for a weekend getaway trip.
As for features, the XC40 facelift gets a PM 2.5 air purifier, leather upholstery, a powered tailgate, LED lighting, connected car tech, Apple CarPlay, a 14-speaker, 600W Harman Kardon audio system, wireless charging and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Being a Volvo, the Volvo XC 40 facelift gets a wide range of safety equipment including some ADAS features. The equipment list includes 7 airbags, front and rear parking sensors, rear camera, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation support, lane keep assist, blind spot monitor, hill-start assist and hill-descent control. While the XC40’s ADAS features work well, there’s only limited places where you can use them.
Thus, in conclusion, if you are on the lookout for a comfortable, well-equipped luxury crossover, this one is definitely worth looking at.
