  • Capped price excludes: The Service Plan does not include any repair work, spare parts or consumables necessary to maintain the roadworthiness of the car, nor any other work agreed with the Volvo Car Authorised Retailer (section 10.1). Volvo cars with special service programmes, such as (but not limited to) taxi, police or other specified purposes of usage, are excluded and any cost related to such a special service programme is an additional cost (section 10.2). Wear and tear components not set out under 'Volvo Car Service Plan Plus' are excluded from that plan.

Terms sourced from the manufacturer (official page), last checked 24 Jul 2026.

Warranty, servicing and roadside terms are as published by the manufacturer and can change or have conditions. Confirm current terms with the manufacturer or a dealer before purchase.

Overview

The 2026 Volvo XC40 Plus B4 is a compact petrol SUV that suits Australian families wanting Scandinavian design and safety credentials, with its 145kW mild-hybrid engine delivering respectable efficiency at 7.3L/100km combined. Its standout strength is Volvo's reputation for protective engineering, plus the 460-litre boot and 2100kg towing capacity make it genuinely practical for weekend adventures. One thing to consider: you'll want to verify fuel availability for optimal MHEV efficiency in regional Australia, as the technology performs best with consistent mixed driving rather than prolonged motorway stretches.

The 2026 Volvo XC40 Plus B4 is a compact petrol SUV that suits Australian families wanting Scandinavian design and safety credentials, with its 145kW mild-hybrid engine delivering respectable efficiency at 7.3L/100km combined. Its standout strength is Volvo's reputation for protective engineering, plus the 460-litre boot and 2100kg towing capacity make it genuinely practical for weekend adventures. One thing to consider: you'll want to verify fuel availability for optimal MHEV efficiency in regional Australia, as the technology performs best with consistent mixed driving rather than prolonged motorway stretches.

The 2025 Volvo XC40 B4 Plus is a compact petrol SUV that suits Australian families wanting Swedish safety credentials without premium pricing, offering a spacious 452-litre boot for daily duties. Its standout strength is the combination of modest fuel consumption at 7.3L/100km, reasonable running costs around $3,320 annually, and a solid 1800kg towing capacity for weekend getaways. One thing to consider: the 2.0-litre petrol's 145kW output is modest compared to rivals, so acceleration feels leisurely rather than spirited in this weight class.

The 2025 Volvo XC40 B4 Ultimate is a compact petrol SUV ideal for urban and suburban buyers seeking Scandinavian design with practical family space, offering 452 litres of boot storage and 1800kg towing capacity in a manageable front-wheel-drive package. Its standout strength is the combination of a generous five-year warranty and efficient 2.0-litre turbo delivering 145kW and 7.3L/100km fuel consumption-translating to modest running costs around $3320 annually. One consideration: with 145kW, it's less powerful than some rivals in this segment, so buyers prioritising performance may want to test drive the higher-output variants.

The 2026 Volvo XC40 Ultra B4 Dark is a 5-seat SUV with a petrol mild hybrid engine, an automatic gearbox and AWD. It's $62,990 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Fuel use is 7.3L/100km on the combined cycle, the boot holds 460 litres with the seats up and 1,432 litres folded, and towing is 2,100kg braked. One catch is there's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant. It suits a small family or a couple after a compact AWD wagon-style SUV that can still pull a decent trailer.

The page's mass, towing and emissions cells for the T5 render only placeholders, so kerb weight, towing capacity and the emission standard are shown as no data rather than estimated.

The full driver-assistance suite was standard; the panoramic roof ($2,250), Harman Kardon audio ($1,250) and 360-degree camera ($1,000) remained options. The sheet publishes option prices but no vehicle RRP, so no price is shown for this model year.
