2022 Volvo XC40 T5 Momentum T5 MOMENTUM / ZERO ACCIDENTS / HA...

The 2022 Volvo XC40 T5 Momentum slots into the luxury subcompact SUV segment with a refined Scandinavian approach and a solid all-wheel-drive powertrain. Sitting near the base of the XC40 lineup, the T5 Momentum balances comfort, tech, and safety in a stylish package that feels anything but entry-level.Powertrain and PerformanceUnder the hood is Volvo’s 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, good for 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the T5 setup brings confident traction in all conditions. Acceleration is brisk for the class, with a 0–100 km/h sprint in about 7.2 seconds. Fuel economy is rated at 10.7 L/100 km in the city and 7.7 on the highway, for a combined average of 9.4 L/100 km.Ride and HandlingThe XC40 rides on a relatively short wheelbase, giving it a nimble, city-friendly feel. Steering is light but accurate, and while it's not a canyon carver, the suspension handles rough pavement with poise. AWD is standard on the T5, making it a capable option for Canadian winters.Interior and FeaturesInside, the XC40 punches above its weight. Materials are upscale, with soft-touch surfaces, available leather upholstery, and clean, minimalist design. The Momentum trim comes with heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat with memory, dual-zone climate control, and a panoramic sunroof.Rear seat space is generous for the segment, and cargo capacity measures 586 litres behind the second row, expanding to 1,336 litres with the seats folded flat. Clever storage solutions like the removable garbage bin and fold-out bag hook add to its practicality.Infotainment and TechA 9-inch vertically-oriented touchscreen runs Volvo’s Sensus infotainment system, which includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth as standard. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster comes standard as well, and buyers can upgrade to a Harman Kardon premium sound system and built-in navigation.SafetyAs expected from Volvo, the XC40 comes loaded with safety tech. Standard equipment includes forward collision mitigation, lane-keeping assist, and a rear-view camera. Options include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, and a surround-view camera.Dimensions and PracticalityLength: 4,425 mmWidth: 1,873 mmHeight: 1,652 mmWheelbase: 2,702 mmGround clearance: 211 mmCurb weight: approx. 1,703 kgTowing capacity: up to 1,588 kg 3,500 lbs
