2026 Volvo XC40 Specs
The 2026 Volvo XC40 is motivated by one of two mild-hybrid 2.0-liter four-cylinder powertrains, both of which pair with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The first, as mentioned, is the new B4 FWD setup; this makes 194 horsepower, goes from zero to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, and delivers an EPA-estimated 25/32 MPG (City/Highway).1
Meanwhile, the B5 AWD powertrain is now an available option, providing enhanced performance without decreasing the fuel efficiency too much. It makes 247 horsepower; thanks to this muscle and the advanced Volvo XC40 AWD system, the B5 AWD upgrade lets the Volvo XC40 have a 0-60 mph time of just 6.1 seconds. As for mileage, it delivers an EPA-estimated 23/30 MPG (City/Highway).2
Both versions have a 14.2-gallon fuel tank, meaning you won't need to stop at the gas station nearly as often as other models may require. However, if you're looking for absolute fuel savings, consider this SUV's all-electric counterpart: the Volvo EX40.
