2022 Volvo XC40 T5 Inscription

Model Highlights

The Volvo XC40 comes in three different trims. Each is powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine displacing 2.0L, powering all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. With 248 horsepower on tap, the compact SUV is quite quick in a straight line, though it should still return over 30 mpg on the highway. The most basic XC40 trim is dubbed the Momentum trim. Since the Volvo XC40 is still a bit of a luxury vehicle, basic amenities are pretty nice and include items such as a 9-inch display, smartphone integration, a park assist camera, LED headlights, SiriusXM satellite radio, a powered driver's seat with a memory function, heated front seats, 18-inch wheels and tinted windows. The next step up is the R-Design model. The R-Design comes with a slightly more aggressive exterior as well as an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a navigation system, keyless entry, 19-inch wheels, fog lights, a unique grille and various R-Design bits throughout the interior. The top-of-the-line model for 2022 is the Inscription model. The Inscription has a luxuriously appointed interior which includes details such as driftwood Deco trim and a crystal gear knob. The Inscription model also comes standard with a panoramic roof, nicer seats and a leather clad interior. Safety features across the lineup include parking sensors, an active lane departure warning system, forward and rear collision mitigation, pedestrian detection, a driver attention monitor and a traffic sign recognition system.
