We are still waiting for a new S60, the current model having been introduced in 2010. These delays are enormous, especially when we are talking about luxury vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>But all that doesn\u2019t take anything away from the brand new Volvo XC40 unveiled today in Italy. As the new entry-level SUV from Gothenburg, the XC40 will try to capitalize on the growing popularity of small sport utility vehicles. Its rivals will include the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, Lexus NX, Infiniti QX30 and Audi Q3, among others.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ecolodriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2018-Volvo-XC40-front-interior-detail.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16896\" src=\"http:\/\/ecolodriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2018-Volvo-XC40-front-interior-detail.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"681\" height=\"452\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sharing many design elements with the new XC90 and XC60, the XC40 is built on a brand new modular platform that will also be used as a starting point for other models developed by Volvo.<\/p>\n<p>All 2019 Volvo XC40s sold in Canada will get standard all-wheel drive and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine developing 250 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. The power will be sent to the front wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Car Guide that traveled to Italy to discover the new 2019 XC40, its starting price will be set at $ 39,500.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ecolodriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2018-Volvo-XC40-front-three-quarter-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16897\" src=\"http:\/\/ecolodriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2018-Volvo-XC40-front-three-quarter-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"681\" height=\"452\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any time Volvo unveils a new model, the world must take notice.
