How Much Is the Still-Charming 2025 Volvo XC40?
Volvo is sticking to its aggressive plans for electrification, intending to sell nothing but electric vehicles by 2030. While the all-electric XC40 Recharge has been renamed the EX40 to fit into Volvo’s EV nomenclature and the gas-powered XC40 is unchanged for the new model year, the latter is far from rotting on the vine and remains a charming, well-rounded small SUV. And for 2025, the XC40’s base price increases just $650, to $41,945 (all prices include $1,295 destination fee).
