Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Buick Envision than in the Volvo XC40. The Buick Envision offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC40, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Envision as you will with the Volvo XC40, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Buick Envision will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volvo XC40.

Dimensions
The Buick Envision is a little narrower than the Volvo XC40, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Buick Envision, which is slightly longer than the Volvo XC40.

Handling
The Buick Envision has the same turning radius as the Volvo XC40, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Buick Envision has a little less horsepower than the Volvo XC40.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Buick Envision does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volvo XC40.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Envision and the Volvo XC40. The Buick Envision has less cargo space than the Volvo XC40, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
