Deal of the Day: You can have this cool and capable family SUV from just £13,500

If car manufacturers can combine style, safety and space in one luxurious family SUV, they’re on to a winner, and that’s exactly what the Volvo XC40 achieved. Behind the cool image and minimalist interior was a practical, useful, safe SUV that was bound to become a hit. And now you can pick one up for less than £13,500 on Carwow, it’s also a bargain.

Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

Why should you consider the Volvo XC40?

When Volvo decided to build a small SUV to sit at the foot of its range, it created an instant success story. Combining the company’s fabled safety record with a practical interior and the styling cues that made the XC60 and XC90 models so popular, it was bound to become a front-runner in the family SUV market. In the end, it became one of the UK’s best-selling cars.

The style – both inside and out – had a big say in that, as did competitive finance rates, but a big part of the XC40’s appeal is its breadth of options. You can choose between 1.5- and 2.0-litre engines, and there are front- and four-wheel-drive options available. Petrol, diesel, hybrid and plug-in hybrid options are all on offer, too, along with all-electric versions that now wear the EX40 badge.

On the road, the XC40 is comfortable and pleasant to drive, while the (now discontinued) all-wheel-drive options give it a bit of off-road capability too. It isn’t that much fun on a twisty road, thanks to the high driving position that makes it wallow a bit in corners, but around town and on a motorway cruise, the XC40 is very good indeed.

Buy a used Volvo XC40 from £13,500

Whereas a new XC40 will set you back well over £35,000, you can save more than £20,000 on a used example through Carwow. With prices starting at just under £13,500 for a 2019 2.0-litre diesel example, you can have a classy family SUV on your driveway for less than you might think. And with that kind of money getting you a digital instrument display, alloy wheels and two-zone climate control, you’ll be getting great value.

Volvo XC40 alternatives

Still not convinced? Here are some other options for you to consider:

• Audi Q3: Really solidly made and very practical, but it isn’t the most exciting SUV to drive.
• BMW X1: The ideal choice for those who enjoy driving, but the ride is a bit firm.
• Mercedes-Benz GLA: Good-looking, spacious and comfortable, but the boot’s a bit tight.
