The XC40 is the first Volvo to utilise the new Compact Modular Architecture platform, to be shared by future compact Volvos and Chinese-built Geely[3] and Lynk & Co models.

The XC40 will be powered through the front wheels by Volvo's mew modular 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine, both diesel and petrol variants. There will also be a petrol-powered plug-in hybrid called T5 Twin Engine using a 180bhp petrol version of the new engine, supported by a 74bhp electric motor.
