consumption upgrade and consumer younger consumers are the keywords of the current automobile industry. Under the dual trend, today's automobiles are no longer only satisfied with the level of "passing on transportation". Pursuing quality and demonstrating personality is the needs of young consumers. If you have a budget of between 250,000 and 350,000 yuan, it is also a good choice to buy a compact SUV from a luxury brand. After all, luxury brands can endorse for quality , and the products can also meet the needs of young people for their personality. The Volvo XC40 we are going to talk about today is also a relatively popular luxury brand compact SUV. So is this car suitable for young people? Let’s analyze it carefully today.
Volvo XC40 series guide price range is 264,800-354,800 yuan. As a luxury brand compact SUV, the guide price of this car is fair. At the same time, the entire Volvo XC40 series is 2.0T models, which is more sincere than the "BBA" models of the same level. In addition, the Volvo XC40 provides two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options, and the mid-equipped models are equipped with a four-wheel drive system standard, and the car's series selection is also very rich. From a basic perspective, the Volvo XC40 can meet the needs of different consumers, and the price span is quite large. Let’s take the 2023 B4 four-wheel drive Zhiyuan Deluxe Edition (hereinafter referred to as Volvo XC40) model equipped with the Volvo XC40 as an example to analyze the product strength of the car.
Above we also mentioned that choosing luxury brand compact SUVs is mostly for young people, and young people pursue personality, and personality is related to appearance. Let’s first focus on the appearance design of Volvo XC40. The overall design of Volvo XC40 is not radical, but the visual effect it ultimately presents is quite fashionable.
Specifically, in the front part, the Volvo XC40 adopts a large-mouth air intake grille design, and the internal logo is replaced with an integral "3D mirror", which makes it more visually holistic. At the same time, the Volvo XC40 also adopts the family's iconic "Thor Hammer" headlight group design, and its headlight group has been redesigned to visually more similar to its own C40, and the overall recognition is quite high. In addition, the front bumper of the Volvo XC40 has also been redesigned, and the lines in its fog lamp area are relatively rich, which enhances the visual stretching feeling. It is worth mentioning that the Volvo XC40 also offers a sports version, which adopts a large-area blackening design, making the visual effect more cool. On the side of the body of
, it is obvious that the Volvo XC40 adopts a long front and a short rear design, and the overall visual effect is relatively flexible. At the same time, the lower window ling of Volvo XC40 is relatively high, the overall visual center of gravity is also relatively high, and the visual effect is relatively solid. However, after all, the Volvo XC40 is a compact SUV, and the side effect of the car is also slightly compact. It is worth mentioning that the Volvo XC40 series has added 4 new car colors, making the visual effect more modern. The five wheels provided by Volvo XC40 are all brand new designs and have a wide selection range. The rear part of the car, Volvo XC40 still retains the classic shape. The car adopts a "L" style taillight design, and its recognition is still very high. At the same time, the lines at the rear of the Volvo XC40 are relatively simple, and the rear of the car has a strong overall feeling, and the car also adopts the popular "letter" design. Overall, I think the appearance design of Volvo XC40 is quite exquisite, and the addition of new elements also makes the whole vehicle look quite fashionable. In the interior link of
, Volvo XC40 adopts the family design language, and its overall layout is very simple, but the details and materials are worth savoring. The central console of Volvo XC40 is very regular and has clear layers, and the overall look is very grand. At the same time, the Volvo XC40 adopts an embedded central control screen design, and the vertical layout looks quite unique, but the control screen size is only 9 inches, which is still a bit of a good idea. In terms of materials, the Volvo XC40 still uses a large number of environmentally friendly materials inside, which is also the tradition of Volvo . Even for new cars, Volvo XC40 has almost no odor, and Volvo XC40 also adopts the design of crystal electronic gear lever, which also enhances the sense of grade of the interior. In terms of interior, the design of Volvo XC40 is a bit traditional, but there is no problem with the materials used.
talks about the interior, so we naturally have to take a look at the internal functions and related configurations of Volvo XC40. For Volvo models, in addition to the basic configuration, we also have to pay attention to the security configuration of Volvo XC40. Let’s first look at the intelligent driving and active safety configuration.

For luxury brand compact SUVs, space is not the primary product strength. I think as long as it is enough, let’s take a brief look at the performance of Volvo XC40. In terms of size, the length, width and height of Volvo XC40 are 4440, 1863, and 1652mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2702mm. Among the models of the same level, the Volvo XC40 is of a "medium" figure. Taking my 180cm height as an example, after adjusting the seats in the front row of Volvo XC40, my head space is four fingers. After entering the rear row, my head space is three fingers and my leg space is one and a half punch. The overall space can still meet daily needs. In terms of seat functions, the front seats of Volvo XC40 support electric adjustment and seat heating functions, and the performance is average. In terms of rear row functions of
, Volvo XC40 has a conventional USB charging port and air conditioning outlet, and its overall performance can also reach the mainstream level of the same level. In terms of the trunk of
, the conventional volume of Volvo XC40 is 452L, which can meet everyone's daily travel needs. The rear seats support folding, which can also meet everyone's needs for carrying goods.

In terms of power parameters, the maximum engine power of Volvo XC40 is 145kW, and the maximum torque of is 300N·m. For a 2.0T engine, its power parameters are quite standard. However, for a compact SUV like the Volvo XC40, its power is quite abundant, and the car can reach a 100-100 second in 7.9 seconds. The whole vehicle's WLTC fuel consumption is 7.05L/100km, and its economic performance is also remarkable.
is written at the end: As a luxury brand product, Volvo XC40 does have its own style, which is the differentiated advantage of the car. From the perspective of product strength, Volvo XC40 has a rich configuration. Compared with the "BBA" products of the same level, the Volvo XC40 has some advantages; at the space level, the Volvo XC40's performance is average and belongs to the mainstream level of the same level; at the power level, the power output and economy of the Volvo XC40 are relatively balanced, and the four-wheel drive system configuration rate of the car is relatively high.
