Volvo To Launch XC40 Facelift In India Soon | V3Cars

Speaking of design changes, the XC40 facelift gets a redesign for the front fascia. The headlights now get a triangular curve on the inside and the lower bumper gets a redesign with bigger air ducts. On the side, the 2022 XC40 facelift seems like it doesn’t get a dual-tone roof, which is available as standard on the India-spec XC40. At the rear, the facelift continues with the L-shaped LED taillights and a similar bumper design.

On the inside, there are only two major changes. Volvo have added a new Android-based touchscreen infotainment unit. It’s also available in the new S90 sedan and XC60 SUV. The second notable change is  the new full-colour LCD display with new themes. The rest of the cabin layout remains the same as before.

On the powertrain front, Volvo India are likely to continue with the 2.0L turbo petrol engine we get with the ongoing XC40. In the current tune, this engine produces 190PS of power and 300Nm of torque. It comes with an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission that powers the front wheels only. Earlier, Volvo used to offer a 2.0L turbo diesel engine with four-wheel-drive but that was discontinued after the BS6 emissions norms came into effect.

The new Volvo XC40 facelift will rival other premium compact SUVs like the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA and the upcoming Audi Q3 facelift. Audi India have commenced bookings for the new Q3 and its launch will take place in the coming weeks.
