The future is here and has a lot to offer — as you will see when exploring the 2023 Volvo XC40 trim levels. This compact SUV is made to accommodate your family's established routine, offering benefits like smart storage solutions, mild hybrid technology for better fuel economy, and an impressive towing capacity for weekend adventures. However, while many perks are the same in all versions of this five-passenger vehicle, some offerings vary by trim level. The following dives into these variances.

Beyond the choice of trim level, buyers can also pick whether they want their vehicle to have front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Both options are available at every trim level. However, front-wheel drive comes with the B4 system; its four-cylinder direct-injected turbocharged engine makes 194 horsepower. AWD goes with the B5 system; it also has a four-cylinder direct-injected turbocharged engine but delivers up to 247 horsepower.
Like in most vehicles, the lighter front-wheel-drive system results in better fuel economy. You'll be able to get an EPA-estimated 24/32/27 MPG (City/Highway/Combined) to the AWD version's 23/30/26 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1 However, all-wheel drive is known for giving better traction on slippery surfaces or on rough terrain. That being said, both versions can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

Frequently Asked Questions
What trims are available in a Volvo XC40?
The 2023 Volvo XC40 comes in three trim levels: Core, Plus, and Ultimate. However, we often still sell versions from 2022. The three trim levels for that were known as Momentum, Inscription, and R-Design. Talk to any of our sales advisers to dig deeper into what these options have to offer you and your family.
Is Inscription better than Momentum?
The Momentum was the base level trim of the 2022 Volvo XC40. It came with many luxuries that many brands put on their upper-level trims, including leather upholstery and advanced safety features. The Inscription offered even more perks, which is why some families prefer it. The Momentum and Inscription names are also carryovers from previous model years, meaning you could find options from 2019, for example, in our used Volvo XC40 inventory. Our team members can give you all the details about them.
Which Volvo XC40 trim is fastest?
All of the Volvo XC40 trims have equal acceleration, but the AWD variants offer more horsepower than the FWD versions, which can provide an extra burst of speed. However, if you want even better performance, consider the Volvo XC40 Recharge. This pure electric vehicle makes over 400 horsepower and has a 0-60 speed of 4.7 seconds.
