In terms of design, the new XC40 gets an overall sporty and dynamic design. The unique tail-lamp cluster, 2-tone exterior and large wheel arches give the SUV a quite edgy look. On the other hand, the interior gets black leather with aluminium inserts, to provide a plush feel to the cabin. Talking about technology, the car gets radar-based Active Safety features, adaptive cruise control, oncoming lane mitigation, driver alerts, run-off road protection, roll stability control, etc. Also, a stiff body cage and 7 airbags add to the protective safety in an unlikely event of a collision.
Mechanically, the XC40 is fitted with a BS-VI compliant 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces over 190 HP and 300 Nm of peak torque. This engine is then mated to an 8-speed Geartronic transmission that drives the front axle. Here is a list of all the important features available in the new XC40 petrol variant:
- Panoramic Sunroof

“The XC40 T4 R-Design is our first petrol offering in the entry-level SUV segment. XC40 is the first-ever luxury car to win the ‘Premium Car Award 2019 by ICOTY’.
