The New 2023 Volvo XC40 SUV
December 12 2022,
With its new mildly hybrid powertrain, as well as some aesthetic and technological touch-ups, forget what you already know about this Volvo SUV with the arrival of the 2023 XC40.
With your Volvo dealership, come and discover what the 2023 XC40 has to offer in terms of powertrain and interior. We’ll also focus on the pricing of this new model.
A New Engine for the Volvo XC40
Like all Volvo cars, the XC40 now offers a hybrid engine. For the XC40, Volvo Canada offers two engine choices. Here you’ll only find mild hybrid options. There is no plug-in hybrid version for this vehicle.
The 2.0-litre turbocharged engine is available in either T4 or T5. Whichever version you choose, it is paired with a 48-volt battery to complete the mild hybrid system. These two systems are called B4 and B5 respectively.
Let’s quickly compare the two engine options in terms of power and torque:
Volvo XC40 |
T4 Engine |
T5 Engine |
Power |
184 hp |
248 lb-ft |
Torque |
221 hp |
258 lb-ft |
In terms of range, the B4 system offers a capacity of 600 km, while the B5 has a slightly lower capacity, at 574 km. So, there are not only advantages for choosing the T5 engine, despite its superior power.
An Exterior with the XC40 Look
Those who liked the look of the 2022 XC40 can cheer, because the 2023 model looks very similar to its predecessor. It keeps the same dimensions as its predecessor, measuring 4,425 mm long, 2,034 mm wide and 1,652 mm high. The whole body sits on a wheelbase of 2,702 mm.
Sometimes you don’t have to reinvent a car to update and modernize it. In fact, even with a design similar to its big brother, the XC40 stands out among other subcompact SUVs with a charming look.
Volvo XC40 Interior
The XC40 is designed for comfort, safety and driving pleasure. It offers three levels of equipment to ensure that everyone’s needs are met. These three options are: Core, Plus and Ultimate.
Among other things included in all versions of the Volvo XC40, we find at the technological level:
- A full integration of Google assistance systems, such as Google Maps or Play Store.
- An electric tailgate.
- Rear traffic alerts to help you when backing up.
In addition, both versions above the Core offer a panoramic roof, and the Ultimate provides access to a Harman Kardon stereo for a unique audio experience.
Of course, technology isn’t the only thing important inside a cabin. Throughout the Volvo car, there are storage solutions for your bottles, phones, laptops and even your meal to-go. There’s a place for everything in the Volvo XC40 interior.
Moreover, the XC40 trunk offers 452L of cargo space, which can be increased to 1,328L by using the rear seat space.
When it comes to comfort, it’s important to note that, according to Volvo XC40 reviews, it has
“very comfortable seats.[1]”
It’s often easy to forget how important this element is when buying a vehicle that you will be spending a lot of time in.
Volvo XC40 Price
Of course, price is another aspect to consider when shopping for a vehicle. For the four hybrid models of the Volvo XC40 in Canada, here are the starting prices:

- The Momentum T5 AWD starts at $43,000
