2024 Volvo Xc40 towing capacity
The 2024 Volvo Xc40 is published in 6 configurations with a tow rating of 3,500 lb (compact SUV / minivan territory).
The table below lists every trim of the 2024 Volvo Xc40 with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
How this year compares to 2023
The 2023 Volvo Xc40 carried a maximum tow rating of 4,630 lb. The 2024 model is rated 1,130 lb lower — sometimes a real spec change, sometimes a re-test under a stricter standard like SAE J2807. See the 2023 Volvo Xc40 page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
