The Volvo XC40 compact luxury SUV receives some exciting updates for the 2026 model year. Drivers in the Seattle-Tacoma area can look forward to enhanced safety features and new styling options in the latest Volvo XC40 – coming soon to Sandberg Volvo Cars. Let's take a closer look at what's changed between the 2025 and 2026 Volvo XC40.

Comparing the 2025 and 2026 Volvo XC40: What's New?

Adaptive Cruise Control Now Standard

One of the biggest changes for 2026 is that adaptive cruise control is now included as standard equipment on every Volvo XC40. This advanced driver assistance feature uses cameras and sensors to automatically adjust your speed and maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. This safety feature proves useful in I-5 traffic during rush hour in the Seattle-Tacoma area. Whether you're commuting in Everett or road tripping across Washington state on I-90, adaptive cruise control makes driving more relaxing and less fatiguing.

Black Edition Styling Package

If you're looking to stand out on the streets of Edmonds, consider the new Black Edition appearance package available on the 2026 XC40. This new package adds bold black exterior trim, unique black wheels, and other sporty design elements for an aggressive, individualized look.

Additional 2026 Volvo XC40 Updates

The 2026 XC40 benefits from a number of other enhancements over the previous model year:

  • Upgraded infotainment system with faster processing and better graphics
  • New exterior color options including Sage Green Metallic
  • Improved voice controls for navigation, media, and vehicle functions
  • Refreshed interior trim and upholstery choices
