Used 2023 Volvo XC40 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Volvo XC40 is a subcompact luxury SUV available in three trim levels: Core, Plus and Ultimate. Within these trim levels, you can choose between two engines. The base B4 is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (194 horsepower, 221 lb-ft of torque) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. The B5 engine produces more power (247 hp, 258 lb-ft) and comes with all-wheel drive. Feature highlights include:

Core
The entry-level Core trim gets you a good number of features for the money:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • LED exterior lighting
  • Roof rails
  • Auto-dimming mirrors
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • 9-inch center touchscreen with Google-based operating system
  • Apple CarPlay smartphone integration
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • Eight-speaker audio system
  • Satellite radio

Standard driver assist features include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Automatic reverse braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Drowsy driver monitor (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Traffic sign reader

Plus
The Plus trim offers you a choice between the Bright and Dark exterior themes that come with chrome or black trim, respectively. In addition to the Core's features, you get:

  • LED foglights
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Keyless entry
  • Multi-purpose trunk floor/partition
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Power-folding rear headrests
  • Wireless smartphone charger
  • Universal garage door opener
  • Front and rear parking sensors

Ultimate
The top Ultimate trim is also offered in Bright or Dark themes and adds:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Air purification filter
  • Harman Kardon premium audio
  • Surround-view camera system
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Pilot Assist (combines adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist to reduce driver fatigue)

Some features are available on supporting trims as options, along with larger 20-inch wheels, a hands-free liftgate and adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves).

Climate package
This add-on is offered on the Plus and Ultimate trims and includes:

  • Headlight washers
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel

Which XC40 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base Core trim should easily satisfy most people with its standard equipment list and comprehensive safety features. If you regularly take longer and more monotonous trips, you may want to step up to the Plus trim and opt for the Driver Assist package that adds the Pilot Assist system with adaptive cruise control.
