![]() ![]() Up front, it will have a front-end design similar to that of the Precept Concept, with a smaller, closed-off grille and a reinvention of Volvo’s LED headlight design. Late in 2021, Polestar released a teaser image of the 3, giving a subtle hint to its look. While it's the company’s third car, the 3 will be its first SUV – and will take a more sporting approach to the luxury SUV brief than the more comfort-oriented next-generation Volvo XC90, which it will be based on. The Polestar naming strategy is a fairly simple one: the company’s first car was called the Polestar 1, the second the Polestar 2, and the third? Yep, it’s the Polestar 3. ![]() There is also a new entry-level Start model, which comes with cruise control, automatic LED headlights and an infotainment touchscreen. The trim levels have been updated, with Core, Plus and Ultimate trims replacing Momentum, Inscription and R-Design. The fully electric Recharge model also remains, still with an official range of 257 miles, which is slightly less than the official 285 miles of the BMW iX3. The T4 and T5 Recharge plug-in hybrids remain, and an entry-level T2 has been added to the range with a 127bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. The engine line-up for the XC40 remains largely unchanged, with B3 and B4 mild hybrids featuring 2.0-litre petrol engines. The XC40 has also received an updated digital driver’s display. The new system has already been rolled out in the updated S90, V90, V90 Cross Country and XC60 models. Inside, changes are minimal, but the Sensus infotainment system has been updated with a new Google-designed Android-based system. New wheel designs are available as part of the update. Up front, the XC40 now has a look similar to the Volvo C40 Recharge electric SUV, with more streamlined ‘Thor’s Hammer’ LED headlights and a reworked lower bumper. The reason for this is because the updates are subtle. That's surprising because car manufacturers usually run a public relations campaign to promote a car. Volvo has secretly given its XC40 family SUV a facelift, and unveiled it on its website configurator.
