About the Volvo XC40

It competes with the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and Audi Q3, and is notable for its square-shouldered Scandinavian design and comprehensive standard safety equipment that reflects Volvo's long-standing occupant protection focus. The XC40 is distributed through Volvo Car South Africa's authorised dealer network with both petrol and electric derivatives available nationally.

  • Safety-conscious buyers who want a premium compact SUV with Volvo's standard driver assistance and occupant protection suite
