Compare the 2025 Volvo XC40 vs XC60 - Frisco, TX

The Volvo XC40 is a small luxury SUV, while the XC60 roams in the mid-size luxury SUV class. Each one has all the staples of a signature Volvo SUV, but they vary greatly in size, performance, and amenities, so it's important to research both carefully before making your big decision. Our sales team can help you compare both of these SUVs during a test drive.

Performance

The XC40 is a compact SUV that delivers 247 horsepower. Thanks to 258 lb-ft of torque, it can reach 60 mph in about 6.1 seconds. VW XC60 SUVs also get 247 horsepower, but due to a little bit extra bulk, they'll reach 60 mph in 6.5 seconds (still an impressive feat). XC60 models also get 266 lb-ft of torque.

Appearance

The XC60 is the larger of the two SUVs and has more of a traditional SUV look. The grille, headlamps, and overall build for both models are different. For example, a base model XC40 is designed with a high-gloss black front grille and a chrome frame. XC60 base models get a high-gloss black insert on their front grille and then add a panoramic roof on even the base model (not standard on the XC40). These differences stay consistent across the trim lineup.

Features

An XC40 has a smaller interior than an XC60, so if you need extra space, the XC60 works better for larger families. Smaller families can enjoy the sleek interior of an XC40. A fully loaded XC40 comes with Driftwood decor, a Crystal gear selector nob by Orrefors, and leather upholstery. An XC60 also gets these features, but there is also high-level interior illumination. Driver-assist features differ on both models as well, but that's by trim level. They'll each get Volvo's award-winning assisted safety that focuses on protecting drivers in all situations: while parking, cruising, reversing, and drifting. Each model detects and corrects lane drift in a quick manner that can save lives. Volvo is very good at getting the basics in each model, but because these two Volvo models vary in size, the feel of each feature will be different depending on which SUV you select.
