XC40 Special Edition: Drive’s best small luxury SUV, with added special

The Volvo XC40 has been the best car in its class for four years running. with Drive.com.au recognising the XC40 as Best Small Luxury SUV every year since 2021. As Drive’s esteemed judges note: “The best small car in its segment just keeps getting better.”

A new XC40 Special Edition follows that tradition.

That’s because it comes with 360-degree cameras, 19-inch alloys, leather interior and premium paint at a driveaway price of $59,990^.

All of which is in addition to standard features that Drive states unequivocally put it head and shoulders above the competition.

“The Volvo XC40 is the undisputed winner of this tightly contested award,” wrote Drive Managing Editor, Trent Nikolic, as the XC40 was named Drive’s 2024 Best Small SUV under $80k. “On paper, plenty have come close, but none have dethroned the now four-time winner.”

“The finalists in this category can’t compete with XC40, not just regarding the asking price, but also in terms of the feeling of luxury and insulation inside the cabin,” he added.

“Volvo’s XC40 is value-packed, built to a high standard, matches all-round driveability with cabin practicality and comfort, is safe and remains at the head of the class in terms of technology that is easy to use.”

Now drivers can take home a Special Edition of Drive’s Best Small SUV under $80k – but for under $60k.
