How big is the Volvo XC40’s boot?
There isn’t a huge amount of difference between the various models in the XC40 range and their boot space, so we recommend picking the engine that you prefer and not worrying too much about those extra few litres.
The XC40 Recharge gets an additional space under the car’s bonnet, known as the ‘frunk’.
This is a bonus that you get to enjoy with lots of electric cars and gives you an ideal spot to store tool kits and car chargers.
Overall, the boot space in the XC40 will be ideal for most motorists. In fact, you should be able to fit up to five suitcases in the rear of the car when packing the boot up to the roof.
How many seats are there in the Volvo XC40?
The Volvo XC40 is spacious enough for a family, with five seats in a comfortable cabin.
The maximum headroom inside the vehicle (without the sunroof) sits at 103cm, and front and rear legroom measure 104cm and 91cm respectively.
The smaller size of the XC40 SUV means that it's easier to manoeuvre around urban areas and shouldn’t be a burden on the school run.
