2024 Volvo XC40 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Volvo XC40 is a subcompact luxury SUV available in three trim levels: Core, Plus and Ultimate. Each one comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (247 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Keep reading for our breakdown of the significant features you get with each trim level.

Core
The entry-level Core trim gets you a good number of features for the money:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • LED exterior lighting
  • Roof rails
  • Auto-dimming mirrors
  • Keyless entry
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat with memory functions
  • Heated front seats
  • Cloth upholstery
  • 9-inch center touchscreen with Google-based operating system
  • Apple CarPlay smartphone integration
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Eight-speaker audio system

Standard driver assist features include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

Plus
The Plus trim adds to the Core's features, with:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • LED foglights
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Multi-purpose trunk floor/partition
  • Leather upholstery
  • Air purifier
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Power-folding rear headrests
  • Universal garage door opener
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the XC40 and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Front and rear parking sensors

Ultimate
The top Ultimate trim tops off the features list with:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Harman Kardon premium audio
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Pilot Assist (combines adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance to reduce driver fatigue)

Some features are available on lower-level trims as options. An available Climate package for the XC40 adds heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel.

Which XC40 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest checking out the base Core trim since it comes packed with features and a full complement of driver assists. That said, if you do a lot of highway driving, you may want to step up to the top Ultimate trim because it's the only way to get adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist.
