When Volvo first revealed images of its all-new XC40 sport-utility vehicle, we weren't so convinced. It looked interesting but would it carry the same weigh of its bigger siblings, the XC90 and XC60?
Well, we found out in Los Angeles. It does.
Looking very slick and boasting functionality, the all-new XC40 deserves your attention. If you're considering the Audi Q3, BMW X1 or Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, the XC40 brings something different to the table.
While the XC90 is much more conservative than the XC40, the 90 has done an impressive job chiseling away marketshare away from the Germans. Is it on track to continue doing so with the 40?
