It won't thrill those chasing sporty drama, but for buyers who value measured refinement, low running costs and lots of usable space, it's an unexpectedly accomplished and subtly premium package.

After many new Volvos — including a V70 and an XC90 — I've now bought a lightly used XC40 from the dealer. In every respect it was the best choice.
