Compare the Volvo XC40 vs Volvo XC60
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these two depends on the scale and driving manners you need. As the longer car, the Volvo XC60 is more powerful, can tow more, and provides a bigger boot whether the rear seats are upright or folded. Both cars make long motorway journeys painless, and both leave plenty of headroom for rear passengers even with a panoramic sunroof fitted. You will also find screen-based climate controls a bit fiddly in either model. Around town, however, their ride comfort differs. While the Volvo XC40 has soft suspension that makes short work of bad roads and potholes, the XC60 feels a bit jiggly over urban bumps before smoothing out at cruising speeds.
