Volvo XC40
B3 petrol FWD automatic
August 2023: The result of this car has been updated. Previously reported Ammonia (NH3) values were incorrect owing to a technical error with the equipment at the test laboratory and a correction has been applied.
Tested here is the Volvo XC40 - a 48V mild-hybrid SUV equipped with a 2-litre direct injection turbo charged petrol engine. Like many other petrol vehicles, the Volvo faces the biggest challenge when it comes to greenhouse gases, scoring only 2.3 out of 10 points. In none of Green NCAP's test did the car reach a consumption below 6 l/100 km. The mild-hybrid system also can't help the relatively heavy SUV to reach more than 4 points in the Energy Efficiency Index. On the positive side, the XC40 B3 performs well above average in the Clean Air Index and demonstrates robust behaviour, although there is room for improvement, mainly in terms of particle emissions. With an Average Score of 43%, the Volvo XC40 B3 receives 2½ Green stars.
