Volvo XC40 Exterior Dimensions

The 2024 Volvo XC40 dimensions place it in the small SUV class. This is a competitive arena where being able to weave through city streets and fit into tight parking spots is an expected attribute. The Volvo XC40 dimensions bestow you with precisely that maneuverability:

• Length: 174.2 inches
• Width (Without Mirrors): 75.2 inches
• Width (With Mirrors): 80.1 inches
• Height: 65.3 inches
• Wheelbase Length: 106.4 inches
• Turning Circle: 37.4 feet

For comparison, the Volvo XC60 is the larger alternative to a Volvo XC40 SUV, and it measures 185.4 inches long and 78.7 inches wide without mirrors. We recommend test-driving both models to find the right choice between them.

Either way, the Volvo XC40 length makes it the ideal vehicle for parallel parking where there isn't much room; the available 360-degree camera system and front/rear/side parking assist will help out further.

Volvo XC40 Interior Dimensions

The exterior Volvo XC40 dimensions matter very little if they result in a cramped interior. Fortunately, the opposite is true. Despite being so agile, the Volvo XC40 size includes the following interior measurements:

• Seats: Five
• Legroom (Front/Rear): 40.9 inches/36.1 inches
• Headroom (Front/Rear): 39 inches/39.1 inches
• Hip room (Front/Rear): 54.7 inches/54.6 inches
• Shoulder room (Front/Rear) 56.7 inches/56.3 inches

Using the Volvo XC60 for comparison again, we see the Volvo XC40 provides 1.0 inches of extra front headroom but 0.6 inches less front legroom.

Volvo XC40 Cargo Space & Towing Capacity

Like the legroom, the Volvo XC40 trunk space is surprisingly spacious for how agile the exterior is. It offers the following capacities:

• Cargo Space With All Seats Upright: 16 cubic feet
• Cargo Space With Rear Seats Folded Down: 57.5 cubic feet

To avoid leaving necessities behind despite this surprisingly large cargo capacity, the Volvo XC40 offers an impressive maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.¹

Volvo XC40 Engine Specs

The new Volvo XC40 for sale uses a small engine size and mild hybrid system to achieve impeccable efficiency and strong performance. For the 2024 model year, the sole engine choice, the B5, includes the following specs:

• Engine Size: 2.0 liters
• Cylinders: Four
• Air Induction: Turbocharger
• Horsepower: 248
• Torque: 258 pound-feet
• 0-60 mph: 6.1 seconds

Do the Volvo XC40 Recharge Dimensions Differ?

If you're looking for the Volvo XC40 SUV's benefits in an all-electric package, the Volvo XC40 Recharge is your answer.

It is essentially the same size but differs from the mild-hybrid Volvo XC40 dimensions in length (it's 0.6 inches longer) and height (it's 0.3 inches shorter). Cargo space is the same between the two models, but the Volvo XC40 Recharge offers a lower maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.¹
