What Car? has named the Volvo XC40 (2018-present) the UK’s best used car.
The XC40 was crowned the winner after judges praised its high-quality interior, superb refinement and family-friendly practicality.
What Car? used cars editor Mark Pearson, said: “The task of picking out one winner can often be a daunting one for our panel, but this year the voting was unanimous.
“The XC40 is the supreme all-rounder. It’s a reliable and desirable car that does almost everything exceptionally well, which means you can buy it with your head as well as your heart. It’s supremely versatile too because you can have it as a petrol, diesel, mild hybrid or fully electric car.
“It’s the way it excels in so many areas, as well as the variety of options it offers the used car buyer, that gave it the victory. The fact that this immensely appealing family SUV should also be such great value when bought used just sealed the deal for us.”
Launched in 2018, the current Volvo XC40 scooped the Best Used SUV category before beating a host of cars, including the Skoda Octavia Estate (2013-2020) and the Tesla Model 3 (2019-present), to the overall What Car? Used Car of the Year title.
