2025 Volvo XC40 SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Volvo XC40 is a subcompact luxury SUV available in three trim levels: Core, Plus and Ultra. 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.
Which XC40 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The XC40 Core comes pretty well equipped for a base model, offering standard heated front seats, wireless phone charging, lane keeping assistance and more. The one feature it's sorely missing is adaptive cruise control, which is locked away as part of the Pilot Assist hands-free driving system. To get that, you have to spring for the top Ultra trim.
