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.
