The all-new facelifted Volvo XC40 is out. The reveal comes a month after revisited SUV broke cover in the European markets.

The refreshed front-end of the new XC40 comprises triangular headlights, which now also feature matrix LED high beams. A sporty bumper housing triangular fog light surrounds, a sleeker blanked-off grille and some edgy cuts and creases complete the revamped front fascia.

Another addition to the Volvo SUV is 17-, 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheel options, While Sage Green, Fjord Blue, Silver Dawn, and Bright Dusk are the new paint finishes to choose from.

On the inside, there aren’t as many changes to notice. The facelifted XC40 gets a new Android-based infotainment system, which also gets Google services.
