Here’s how much the new Volvo XC40 T4 costs in Mzansi
Orders start for this vehicle in May with deliveries to commence in August.
Volvo is expanding its XC40 range with the introduction of the new T4 derivative that is slated to go on sale in Mzansi in August.
The new Volvo XC40 T4 packs a 2.0-litre in-line turbocharged petrol engine with 140 kW and 300 Nm. The engine is paired with an 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmission. It runs from a standstill to 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds en route.
The T4 is available in three trim levels; Momentum, Inscription and R-Design and its pricing starts at R654 580.
The T4 slots in between two other petrol-engined XC40 models, namely the T3 (which boasts a 110 kW engine) and the T5 (with its 185 kW powerplant). Like other XC40 models in the range, the XC40 lurks the brand’s Pilot Assist system, City Safety, Run-off Road protection and mitigation, Cross-Traffic Alert with brake support and a 360° camera.
According to Greg Maruszewski, Managing Director at Volvo Car South Africa, the arrival of the Volvo XC40 T4 is set to further cement the success of the range in this country.
“The XC40 had a good 2020; it had an 8.40% share of its segment in 2019; that grew to 14.70% last year. In 2021, the XC40 nameplate performance is continuing to grow its sales locally,” he reveals.
The T4 is but one of two new XC40 models that will be launched in South Africa this year. Volvo Car South Africa will also launch the XC40 P8 All-Electric. Orders start for this vehicle in May with deliveries to commence in August.
