Volvo is set to launch the XC40 facelift in India on September 21 as part of the mid-lifecycle update. The premium SUV will get mild-hybrid technology as well as get exterior tweaks, more paint options and additional equipment.
The big change will be under the hood where the XC40 facelift will get a new 197hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol mild-hybrid engine. Post the XC40 facelift’s launch, the entire ICE-powered Volvo range — barring the S60 sedan — gets the mild-hybrid technology.
With the facelift, the XC40 gets sharper headlamps, reprofiled front bumpers and new exterior colour options. This facelift was first introduced in India with the recently launched all-electric XC40 Recharge. In addition to the exterior tweaks, Volvo is likely to offer new paint options and more equipment with the facelift.
