2024 Volvo XC40 B5 AWD ULTIMATE | Crystal White Pearl | Blond Leather | Harman Kardon | Climate

Small Volvo. Very big equipment list. And a color combination we don't see very often.

Finished in Crystal White Pearl over rare Blond Full Grain Leather, this 2024 Volvo XC40 B5 AWD ULTIMATE is about as Scandinavian as the XC40 gets. Bright, clean and beautifully understated, the Blond leather completely transforms the interior and makes this one immediately stand apart from the usual dark cabins. It's also exceptionally well equipped, with Harman Kardon Premium Sound, Pilot Assist, 360° Surround View Camera, Pixel LED Headlights, 20" Diamond Cut wheels and a panoramic sunroof. The Climate Package adds heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel, while this one also has a Trunk Spoiler, Protection Package and Power Operated Tailgate.

COLOR & DESIGN

Crystal White Pearl over Blond Full Grain Leather is the combination that makes this XC40 special.

Crystal White Pearl gives the XC40 a crisp, architectural look and works beautifully against the ULTIMATE's high-gloss black grille, window trim, mirror caps and roof rails. The 20" Diamond Cut wheels and Trunk Spoiler add just enough attitude without disturbing the clean design.

But the interior is the real surprise.

The rare Blond Full Grain Leather makes the cabin feel dramatically brighter and more open. With the panoramic roof above, the light leather gives the XC40 that airy, minimalist quality Scandinavian interiors do so well.

It's elegant without being formal and distinctive without needing to shout about it.

Crystal White outside. Blond leather inside. Scandinavian design exactly as intended.

THE TAKE

There are plenty of XC40s. Finding one configured like this is another matter.

You have the top-level ULTIMATE equipment with Harman Kardon, Pilot Assist, 360° Camera, Pixel LED Headlights, 20" wheels and panoramic sunroof, plus the Climate Package with heated front and rear seats and heated steering wheel. Then you have the combination that really separates it: Crystal White Pearl over rare Blond Full Grain Leather. It's still everything that makes an XC40 easy to own: compact outside, surprisingly roomy inside, 247 horsepower and all-wheel drive. It just happens to look considerably more special doing it. Small footprint. Full-size Volvo luxury. And finally, an interior worth opening the door to see.
