The Volvo XC40 has secured the Drive Car of the Year Best Small Luxury SUV title for three consecutive years. The 2023 model brings updates like minor design tweaks, new tech, and a 48-volt mild hybrid system, enhancing both performance and fuel efficiency. Despite the elimination of plug-in hybrids, the range now includes three petrol and two electric variants. The XC40 Ultimate B5 Dark, priced from $64,990 plus on-road costs, offers a premium experience with a perky powertrain, all-wheel drive, and a range of advanced features. However, its fuel efficiency may prompt some to consider the electric model.
