Volvo XC40
If you don't like the electrically motivated EX40 or EC40, Volvo has you covered with the XC40, which continues to rely on an internal combustion engine, namely a turbocharged four-cylinder paired with mild hybrid technology. Total system output is rated at 247 hp, while fuel consumption is 9.1 L/100 km. This small luxury SUV is pleasant to drive and comfortable, and the interior is nicely laid out. Watch out for options that tend to push up the bill.
