Model Year 2023 XC40

For the 2023 model year, Volvo Cars is completely changing how they configure their vehicles including new equipment levels and exterior executions. The end result is more flexibility and customization for you to get a Volvo vehicle that has the equipment and design styling you desire.

More specifically, Volvo Cars vehicles will no longer be sold in the previously known Momentum, R‑Design and Inscription trims. Depending on the vehicle, there may be a variety of equipment levels to choose from (Core, Plus or Ultimate) and exterior executions (Base, Bright, and Dark). Additionally, there will be a limited number of single options available to add on to the different Core, Plus and Ultimate levels.

Below is a build guide for the 2023 Volvo XC40 detailing how this vehicle will be offered.

2023 Volvo XC40 Engine Updates

WHAT IS A MILD HYBRID?

The 2023 XC40 is equipped with a 48V system, also known as a Mild Hybrid. Mild Hybrid technology helps to use fuel in a more efficient way, it recovers energy generated by braking. When you press the brake pedal or use engine braking, the kinetic energy that otherwise would have been lost in heat is converted into electric energy and fed into the 48V battery. Some additional benefits of the mild hybrid are: a more comfortable driving experience with the engine restarting seamlessly and a smoother acceleration from a standstill.
