Deal of the Day: Volvo XC40 is a handsome family SUV for £261 per month

• Practical SUV
• High-quality interior
• £261 a month

The XC40 might be the smallest petrol-powered Volvo on sale, but it’s big on style, quality and technology. This leasing deal caught our eye with its attractive monthly payments of £261 spread over a four-year plan.

This deal comes from vehiclesavers.com and requires an initial deposit of £3,133 followed by 48 monthly payments of £261. If you were to lease straight from Volvo on a similar agreement, you’d be looking at monthly payments of over £350. The deal is based on an agreed mileage allowance of 5,000 miles a year. It’s possible to bump this up to 10,000 miles, which in turn raises the monthly fees to £294 a month. 

This offer is for the B3 Core trim level, which despite its entry-level status is very well-equipped with a classy cabin featuring a 12.3-inch driver’s display and a nine-inch central touch screen. Volvo’s infotainment is also super easy to get your head around and from our experience lightning quick in its responses too. There’s also wireless smartphone charging, a rear-view camera, an electronic bootlid and automatic LED headlights. This is on top of all the handy storage compartments the XC40 comes with as standard. 

Power comes from a mild-hybrid four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that manages to offer an excellent balance of performance and efficiency. 163bhp and 265Nm of torque means 0-62mph is dealt with in 8.6 seconds, but the combined economy figure of 42.8mpg is nothing to be sniffed at either. 

This model sits on the smaller 18-inch wheels and as a result it majors on ride comfort. Road and wind noise are well suppressed and overall the XC40 is a very refined small SUV.
