Time is running out to buy one of the best bargains in the premium compact SUV segment. A car whose price is more typical of a general SUV, with a very extensive equipment and a very extensive equipment. We talk about the Premium Edition version of the Volvo XC40, which at the moment still on offer for only 29,900 euros. A price on offer that is a rare bird, since it has hardly changed in this year of inflation. However, something tells us that this offer could have its days numbered: it is only valid until the end of the year.
The version offered of the Volvo XC40 is a version called Premium Edition, with a closed equipment and the access motor. We are talking about a Volvo XC40 T2, equipped with an engine 1.5 turbo three-cylinder and 129 HP of power. This gasoline engine passes its power to the front axle through a eight-speed automatic transmission and torque converter. Its benefits are modest, but enough for our day to day, and even enough to travel on the road: it does 0 to 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds and its top is limited to 180 km/h.
The Volvo XC40 has received a facelift this year. The Premium Editions equip the facelift.
The Essential finish of the car on offer is the access finish, but we already have LED headlights, alloy wheels and various colors available. Inside we have high-quality premium finishes and great solidity in settings, with first-class materials. The equipment includes automatic climate control, digital instrumentation and a Sensus infotainment system based on Android Automotive. The infotainment system, with a 9-inch screen in vertical orientation, has been updated in 2022.
In the Premium Edition it includes compatibility with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and also a surface to charge our mobile phone by induction. System navigation uses Google Maps and Google’s voice assistant is one of the most advanced on the market. When older, it has the Volvo City Safety Suite, with automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assistant and traffic sign reading, among other systems. It also has rear parking sensors and cruise control, of course.
The offer is only available until December 31 of this year.
The seats are cloth, but that shouldn’t be a problem. Its rear seats are spacious and its trunk has a maximum volume of 452 liters. All this really costs 29,900 euros, but in order to access that price, we have to finance the purchase of the car for at least 36 months. The minimum amount to finance is 21,000 euros and we have to do it through Volvo Financial Services. The loan conditions are not detailed on the web, but we know that they are only valid for natural persons, not legal entities.
