Volvo V40 Cross Country
The new V40 Cross Country is described by Volvo as an ‘elegant, refined premium crossover’ that’s aimed at ‘those who want a sense of adventure in their everyday life’.
Featuring redesigned bumpers and sills, a mesh grille, skid plates, roof bars, alloy wheels and a 40 mm higher ride height, it certainly looks the part.

However, only the range-topping T5 version - which is powered by a 250 bhp (187 kW / 254 PS), 2.5 litre petrol engine - comes with all-wheel drive and hill descent control. Consequently, it’s unlikely that the Cross Country is going to be any better off-road than a regular V40.
Indeed, most buyers in Europe will probably choose one of the three diesel options on offer. For the frugally-minded, these include a 1.6 litre D2 variant with an output of 112 bhp (84 kW / 115 PS). Its average fuel consumption is an incredible 74.3 mpg (3.8 l/100km), while carbon dioxide emissions are just 99 g/km.
