2025 Volvo XC40 Efficient Performance with Mild-Hybrid Technology
Under the hood, a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder B5 turbocharged engine works in conjunction with a 48V mild-hybrid system to provide responsive performance while optimizing fuel efficiency. This innovative powertrain produces a combined 247 horsepower for spirited acceleration. An eight-speed Geartronic automatic transmission provides smooth, precise shifts and allows for manual control when desired.
The embedded mild-hybrid system captures braking energy that would otherwise be lost and stores it in a 48V battery. This energy is then used to assist the engine during acceleration, reducing load on the powertrain and improving fuel economy. Mild-hybrid technology also enables smoother and faster engine start-stop functionality for a more refined driving experience in stop-and-go traffic.
