Volvo has finally launched its most affordable SUV - the XC40 in India. The SUV is available in only one variant the R-Design trim and is priced at Rs. 39.90 Lakh (ex-showroom India). This price is of course introductory. The XC40 is the smallest SUV coming from the scandavaian automaker and will help provide a good push in terms of overall sales figures for Volvo. The XC40 gets the typically upright Volvo design and makes it ideal for the compact luxury SUV space.

It gets the distinctive front grille and rear tail lamps along with the chunky headlamps that have an updated and more stylish version of the Thor's hammer LED daytime running light. And in the R-Design spec it also gets a lovely two tone paintjob.
