About the XC40

The Volvo XC40 is a compact luxury SUV, a handy size for town driving and small families. Most on Kenyan roads have the 2000cc T4 petrol engine with front-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. The 2000cc T5 petrol is stronger, comes with all-wheel drive and uses a little more fuel. Either version uses less fuel than the bigger XC60 and XC90. A T4 returns about 11.6 km/L, or KSh 19.49 per km at today's Nairobi petrol price.
