The Volvo EX40 has been named Mid-Sized SUV of the Year at the prestigious News UK Motor Awards. The accolade, announced during a ceremony in London yesterday, highlights the expert opinions across the media group’s outlets, including The Sun, The Sunday Times, and Driving.co.uk.
"The Volvo EX40 is one of those elegant, understated cars that brings huge satisfaction to an owner because it over-delivers in every regard. Range, comfort, performance, build quality, technology, handling – it quietly excels in all these areas. While its smaller [EX30] sibling has been stealing a lot of attention this year, the EX40 is the car that stood out for us in the mid-sized SUV segment.”
- Will Dron, Editor of Driving.co.uk at the Sunday Times
A key factor in the EX40's market appeal is the variety of options available, with a current lineup offering five equipment grades and four electric powertrains in either two- or all-wheel drive. These powertrain choices allow customers to choose the ideal combination of power and range to fit their driving needs: Single Motor, Single Motor Extended Range, Twin Motor, and Twin Motor Performance, offering a maximum driving range between 296 and 343 miles.
"The significance of this award goes beyond recognition of the great qualities of the EX40 itself to demonstrate how we have succeeded in making our fully electric cars the ideal choice for consumers. The mid-sized SUV segment is one of the most fiercely competitive in the market, making this EX40 award all the more valued.”
- Nicole Melillo Shaw, Volvo Car UK Managing Director
The EX40 showcases Volvo’s sleek, modern design both inside and out, paired with features that cater to the needs of today’s consumers. Even the entry-level Core models come well-equipped with wireless phone charging, a rear parking camera, a powered tailgate, and a 9.0-inch central touchscreen with integrated Google functions. Stepping up to the mid-range Plus versions adds an energy-efficient heat pump, advanced air purification system, heated steering wheel, and safety features like BLIS blind spot monitoring and Cross Traffic Alert. The top-tier Ultra specification offers even more, including a 360-degree parking camera system, panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon premium sound system, and advanced Pixel LED headlights. Plus and Ultra versions are also available as a Black Edition, adding a stylish edge with high-gloss black exterior accents, 20-inch five-spoke black alloy wheels, and Onyx Black paintwork.
