Volvo XC40
It might come as a surprise that the XC40 is almost 9 years old. Volvo’s entry-level SUV has not only aged gracefully, but it continues to be a top pick in its segment. Having been subject to many updates over the years, the 2026 XC40 comes with two mild-hybrid petrol engine options. We drove the XC40 Black Edition Ultra B4 to ascertain why it is still one of the best small SUVs, despite intense competition from the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1 and the Audi Q3.
