Volvo XC40 SUVs For Sale







Overview of the 2026 Volvo XC40

Like other Volvo vehicles, the new Volvo XC40 for sale is safe and high-performing. The compact SUV's standard mild-hybrid technology will help you get enhanced fuel economy without needing external charging (though an all-electric version of this SUV, known as the Volvo EX40, is also available for the more eco-conscious). This luxury compact model brings sophistication to the streets with its stunning design, while enhancing the modern scene with standard features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Front Park Assist. Learn all about it with our Volvo XC40 review.

What's New in the 2026 Volvo XC40?

The 2026 Volvo XC40 release introduces several changes to its lineup, while also keeping a lot that drivers loved. The B5 powertrain still comes standard and delivers the same 247 horsepower from last year, but the thrill gets a boost to 288 pound-feet of torque, 30 pound-feet stronger than in 2025.

A smaller engine is now available, too: the B4 powertrain, which outputs 194 horsepower and 224 pound-feet of torque. If you're looking for a nimbler SUV with more modest goals, the B4 is perfect.

The more accessible and easy-to-drive FWD model has returned for the B4 engine, with AWD becoming an available feature when you choose the B5. Additionally, the Fusion Red, Sage Green, and Silver Dawn paint colors have been discontinued; however, with the introduction of Aurora Silver and Forest Lake, eight exterior paint colors remain. Finally, you can now benefit from Adaptive Cruise Control and Front Park Assist starting on the Core level, ensuring your peace of mind with the baseline trim.

Aside from these changes, the new Volvo XC40 for sale is essentially the same satisfying SUV as last year. Read our guide to learn more about the 2026 Volvo XC40, including its interior appeal, exterior design, and performance. Then, book an appointment with our Principle Volvo Cars specialists for an in-person tour and test drive of your favorite trim levels.

Safety in the Volvo XC40

Reliability

Volvo vehicles have always prioritized safety, and part of keeping you safe on the road is reliable performance. So long as you take care of your Volvo model with general repairs and maintenance, you can likely keep your SUV going strong for 200,000 miles, barring any unfortunate accidents. For many, this can amount to 15 or 20 years.

However, your car's maintenance can't be neglected, so carefully consider the recommendations in your owner's manual. You may recognize the powertrain or trim level names of the 2026 Volvo XC40 on other Volvo vehicles. This is an effort to standardize and simplify the lineup of Volvo vehicles for your benefit. With so many other vehicles relying on the same systems, it is easier for you to get quick and efficient repairs and accessible parts in San Antonio, TX. This SUV also has helpful warranties to help inspire peace of mind; these will be discussed later on this page.

Safety Features

There are plenty of safety features in the new Volvo XC40 for sale. This SUV has a suite of driver-assistance technologies that help you with everything from maintaining a safe distance from other cars to covering your blind spot when needed. Confidently reverse in crowded parking lots with a rear Park Assist Camera and Cross Traffic Alert, and stay in your place in any traffic situation with the subtle vibrations in the steering wheel to let you know you're veering out of your lane. The newly standard Adaptive Cruise Control and Front Park Assist keep a close eye on obstacles in front of you at nearly any speed.

BLIS™, or the Blind Spot Information System, gives you information about what's happening around your vehicle, even if you can't see it. Four cameras are also built into the Plus and Ultra trims of the Volvo XC40, giving you a 360-degree view of the streets around you. Park, change lanes, avoid collisions, and more with total confidence when you use the incredible safety technology in this new vehicle.

Warranty and Coverage for the New Volvo XC40

Warranty

Your experience with Volvo Cars goes further than the dealership, as seen with the new Volvo limited warranty. The new Volvo XC40 for sale automatically comes with a four-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty,3 whichever comes first. This warranty also covers the powertrain of every new Volvo XC40,3 meaning that you have coverage for many different repairs, replacements, or adjustments of defective parts in your new Volvo SUV.

The Volvo XC40 also comes with a 12-year corrosion warranty.3 This warranty has no mileage cap3 and covers sheet metal and aluminum body panels that may rust with time and regular use. For those who choose to invest in the all-electric Volvo EX40, special warranties will apply to that electric vehicle's battery.

These warranties are great on their own, but their value improves when you know your new Volvo vehicle is also part of the Volvo maintenance program.

Maintenance Program

With the Complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance (FSM) program, you can cover several maintenance services. Upkeep is recommended for new Volvo vehicles every 10,000 miles, so it's best to have your Volvo model serviced at an authorized Volvo dealer. With the FSM program, you can get scheduled maintenance covered for the first three years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first.4

Easily schedule service in the Volvo Cars app and bring it to a service center with no hassle. Make getting service on your SUV even easier with Volvo Valet by scheduling a time for your vehicle to be picked up and delivered back to you when it's ready.5 You'll even get a loaner vehicle if you need one at that time.5

Compare the New Volvo XC40 to the Competition

Even with everything great we've said about the Volvo XC40 specs, you likely want to know how it stacks up to the competition. Let's see how the Volvo XC40 stands out when held against three other popular SUVs.

Audi Q3

The Audi Q3 has an excellent powertrain, which the Volvo XC40 can readily surpass. The Audi Q3 horsepower tops out at 228, while the Volvo XC40 offers 247 horsepower with AWD. This also makes the Audi model a full second slower at getting from zero to 60 miles per hour. With just two trims, you are also not as easily able to customize the Audi Q3 the way you can with the Volvo XC40. Last but certainly not least, the Audi Q3 has 48 cubic feet of maximum cargo space – 9.5 cubic feet less than the Volvo XC40.

Volkswagen Tiguan

The Volkswagen Tiguan has a notable difference in size when next to the Volvo XC40, as it is classified as a midsize SUV. Compared to the compact Volvo model, it will have more trouble parking in tight spaces. If you are looking for something similar in size, you might want to compare the Volkswagen Tiguan vs. a Volvo XC60. Either way, the Volvo SUV will win: While the Volvo SUV is all about luxury, the Volkswagen Tiguan leans more into its everyday value-oriented appeal. The power in the Volkswagen Tiguan is no equal, either. In the Volvo XC40, you can achieve up to 247 horsepower with the B5 powertrain, while the Volkswagen Tiguan maxes out at 201 horsepower. If that wasn't enough, the Tiguan offers a maximum towing capacity of only 1,800 pounds when properly equipped; despite being a much smaller vehicle, the Volvo XC40 can tow up to 3,500 pounds.2

Cadillac XT4

The Cadillac XT4 AWD option is luxurious but less fuel-efficient than the mild-hybrid Volvo XC40. It also doesn't make as much horsepower as the compact Volvo SUV, offering only 235, whereas the Volvo XC40 provides up to 247 horsepower with AWD. While heated front seats are an available upgrade on the Cadillac XT4, this feature is a standard appointment on every version of the Volvo XC40.

Even after all these comparisons, it's safe to say the 2026 Volvo XC40 is a vehicle you can't miss. However, if you have more questions about where it falls compared to others of a similar size class, reach out today.

Expert Opinion

The larger Volvo SUVs are quite popular, but the new Volvo XC40, the smallest of the hybrid lineup, proves that a compact SUV can be a full-size luxury experience. It offers the same overall design, philosophy, and spirit as the bigger Volvo XC60 and Volvo XC90, but in a more affordable and agile package. If a five-seat luxury SUV is what you want, and you care as much about maneuverability as you do cargo space, then look no further than the Volvo XC40. It's also important to mention that "small" doesn't apply to safety, as the Volvo XC40 offers the safety-oriented structural engineering of its larger siblings and includes the same driver assistance features as them, too.
