Volvo XC40 - A Luxury SUV, Lessened Emissions

For those Simsbury drivers desiring a more compact SUV, Volvo XC40 shouldn't go unnoticed.

Providing a cozy feel to an interior seating five passengers, there's a level of detail to every angle and nook. To the brushed driftwood décor accenting the cockpit to the panoramic moonroof above, the Simsbury family is treated to an airy, sustainable experience.

Mild-Hybrid Powering

Performance-wise, fuel efficiency is delivered in 23 mpg within city grids and 30 mpg when traveling highways. There's also the capacity to tow up to 3,500-lbs., along with cargo spacing reaching a maximum of 57.5 cu.-ft.

Assisting with XC40 performance is the much vaunted, mild-hybrid powertrain. Without requiring a plugged-in charge, harnessed is spent braking energy to be stored onboard. When it comes time to accelerate, that saved energy acts as a powering boost to the remaining combustion engine.

As a result, this operation reduces fuel consumption and lessens emissions released.
