Used 2022 Volvo XC40 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 XC40 is available in three trim levels: Momentum, R-Design and Inscription. Each trim level uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The entry-level engine, called T4, packs 187 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, while the T5 puts out 248 hp and 258 lb-ft. The T4 is only available with front-wheel drive, while the T5 uses all-wheel drive only. Both engines are backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission. Note that we review the all-electric XC40 separately on Edmunds. Notable features for the XC40 include:

Momentum
Comes generously equipped with:

  • LED headlights
  • 18-inch wheels
  • Heated front seats
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirrors
  • Digital instrument panel
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Push-button ignition
  • Leather seating surfaces
  • Eight-speaker audio system

All XC40s also come with:

  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the XC40 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

Premium package
Available only for the Momentum and includes:

  • Navigation system
  • Wireless smartphone charging
  • Power-folding rear headrests (outboard seats)
  • Power-adjustable passenger seat
  • Front parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of the vehicle when parking)
  • Keyless entry
  • Dual-zone climate control

Advanced package
Requires Premium package and includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the XC40 and the car in front)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the XC40 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Ambient lighting

R-Design
Adds sporty styling and extra features with:

  • Unique grille and high-gloss black exterior trim
  • Black-painted roof
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • Features from the Premium package

Inscription
The Inscription is equipped similarly to the R-Design but has a more traditional luxury look to it thanks to:

  • Chrome grille
  • Different 19-inch wheels
  • Crystal-trimmed gear-shift knob

Other notable options for the XC40 include:

  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Self-parking system (requires Advanced package)
  • 13-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • 20-inch wheels (R-Design only)
  • 13-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • Climate package (headlight washers, heated rear seats and heated steering wheel)

Which XC40 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Unless you want the sporty look and higher price tag of the R-Design, we recommend going for the base Momentum trim because you get great features such as a full digital driver display and leather upholstery. However, pass on the base T4 engine and get the T5. The optional engine provides the kind of acceleration you're going to expect from a luxury SUV. It comes standard with all-wheel drive too.
