2023 Volvo XC40 B5 Review / One of the smallest Volvos gets BIG Updates
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- The 2023 Volvo XC40 is the second smallest Volvo on sale in 2023. The smallest being the Volvo C40 Recharge due to its limited rear seat headroom and trunk volume which are both impacted by the sloping roofline. For this model year, the proper small SUV XC40 received a few updates to keep it top of mind and ahead of the competitors from Audi, Mercedes, & BMW.
The Volvo XC40 2023 is still powered by a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine but it now has a bit of help from a 48-volt mild-hybrid system with an electric supercharger. There are two variants of this engine with the designation of B4 or B5. The B4 engine produces 194 hp & 221 lb-ft of torque (145 kW & 300 Nm). This B5 version produces 247 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque (184 kW & 350 Nm). In both versions, the electric motor provides 13.4 hp & 29.5 lb-ft of torque (10 kW & 40 Nm) when it’s needed by the engine. Usually this is during transmission shifts or until the turbocharger spools up.
Thanks to the addition of the mild-hybrid system, the B5 powertrain is more efficient than the old T5 powertrain. But only in a city environment. This 2023 XC40 is rated for 10.2 L/100km (23.1 MPG) in a city and 7.9 L/100km (29.7 MPG) on a highway. Compared to the XC40 T5, that is 0.5 L/100km (1.1 MPG) better city fuel economy but 0.2 L/100km (0.7 MPG) worse highway fuel economy. During my time with the SUV, I averaged 9.5 L/100km (24.8 MPG).
The 2023 Volvo XC40 B4 starts at $42,250 CAD ($37,645 USD, FWD). The B5 powertrain is an additional $3,500 CAD ($2,000 USD) and this demo vehicle came equipped at a price of $57,950 CAD ($49,095 USD).

This video is really good. This man explained everything well and calmly about all details of this nice car. 👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Great video! Extremely well done and accurate review of the XC40
Thanks! You just bought one a few months ago right? How's your ownership been so far?
We have the electric XC40 since yesterday. Today it was time to try everything out. Not comparable to a petrol car. One pedal drive is handy, but you have to leave the brake alone because then you come to a complete standstill.😮It's a great car. Quiet and pleasant. Remarkable amount of space everywhere. Finally acceptable ventilation. Very modern, well-functioning and unobtrusive compared to the grilles in previous models.
Congratulations on your purchase/lease! I'd ask how the reliability has been thus far for you but it's too soon to tell haha
@@MGReviewsBlog Thank you. We bought this XC40. Today a new experience by charging it via the 'wallbox' that was installed a month earlier.The advice of the garage is to charge to 90%. That's better for the battery. Started at 11:00 am and the app says that at 2:00 pm the battery is 90%. We have a 3-phase connection in the house to be able to charge faster. Everything works perfectly. You have to take extra costs into account (3-phase connection, wallbox, solar panels) if you want everything properly arranged.
Really enjoyed this car. Excellent video as always.
Thanks!
I don't really like plastic around the wheel wells, but this color combo looks cool.
Unfortunately that's what most manufacturers do to make their SUVs & CUVs look more "off-road ready". Mazda went overboard with it on the CX30 😆
How would you generally judge the 20 inch tires? You mentioned them both in relation to the noise as well as the comfort feeling. While I personally really like the look of the 20 inch wheels, I would (because of noise and relation to comfort/suspension) be more inclined to choose the 19 inchers or would you say the 20 inch wheels add very little difference in that regard?
Unfortunately I haven't driven an xc40 with the 19" wheels. They always like to put top spec trims in the fleets. But generally speaking, tires with thicker sidewalls do provide slightly better comfort at the expense of responsiveness.
Strange, I just bought a 23 XC40 Plus B4 that has lane centering and adaptive cruise control. I'm in the US, maybe that's the difference.
Yes, the features are most of the time packaged differently between the CDN market & the US market. Since I live in Canada, I generally list the Canadian specs & features.
Digital HVAC sucks and is dangerous in extreme cold if the screen or software go out.
I had that happen with it's brother, the C40. ruclips.net/video/gtY0BCP8vMA/видео.html
Those massive vertical vents are hideous.
Buy ford you have no other choice in the UK
