Volvo Gives Its Entry-Level Gas SUV a Decade-Later Refresh

· 1 min read

Volvo has issued a round of updates to the XC40 for the 2027 model year, revising the compact SUV as its current generation approaches ten years in production. The XC40 stands as the most affordable gasoline-powered SUV in Volvo's American lineup, a role it has held even as the brand has leaned further into electrified models. The refresh keeps the design current without a full redesign, extending the life of one of Volvo's longest-running nameplates.

With reporting from The Drive.
