Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Land Cruiser than in the Volvo XC40. The Toyota Land Cruiser will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC40.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Toyota Land Cruiser 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). The Toyota Land Cruiser is somewhat more expensive than the Volvo XC40.

Dimensions
Since the Toyota Land Cruiser is much wider than the Volvo XC40, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Toyota Land Cruiser, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volvo XC40.

Handling
The Toyota Land Cruiser has a larger turning radius than the Volvo XC40, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Toyota Land Cruiser is clearly the choice over the Volvo XC40 for pulling heavy loads. The Toyota Land Cruiser has a little more horsepower than the Volvo XC40.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Toyota Land Cruiser 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 Toyota Land Cruiser and the Volvo XC40.
