Good review of the new xc40. Not a bad size but I appreciate the xc60, that sits pretty between the xc90 and xc40. Overall I love Volvos. I’m on my second xc60. Great review!!!

Ye mate, probably the best EU car manufacturer.

I really like how you research what's standard equipment and what's optional, it's very useful, pretty much every XC40 review is fully loaded and if you haven't spent time in the configurator it's very easy to be mislead into thinking most of the options are standard, and then when it comes time to spec your XC40 you see the price and you're in for a shock. And i've just recently put in a order for a 22 model in momentum advanced trim, very excited to ditch my history of cheap hatchbacks as daily drivers.

BEST CAR reviewER EVER

Great video and very informative! Thank you.

really great vid, the hand free tailgate is directly under the first V in volvo btw

Got mine two days ago. Nice car.

My dad had two Volvo’s growing up....I’ve always thought they rode and felt like Swedish Mercedes...very well built and nice ride

@@KuyaArbee I will. This morning I test drove a VW T-Cross Style and it was nothing but a pretty design on 4 wheels with a really good engine, but the interior was anything worthy the money and energy, plus the ugly design on dashboard resembling Islamic design of mathematical patterns reminding me of mosques and all that, I felt like sitting on a very bumpy chariot pulled by two strong Ox 's and every cobblestone and all I felt and despite great soundsystem, I had to speak loud with mom...

It's not the C30 that they should've made, but I've liked this ever since it debuted. Was really nice to test at LA Auto Show and everything just felt solid and right.

I made the same leap last week. Bought an xc40 and so happy I did.

The main thing I'd like to see Volvo do with the XC40 for 2022 is to take the aesthetically pleasing blue carpeting and trim from the C40 and put it in the XC40.

And I think it's worth mentioning that there is no rear seat reading light.

I imagine the all-electric with 402 HP would be a blast to drive.

Hello from Sweden. That's a trash can in the middle. And that smaller "ashtray looking thing" is a holder for your smartphone 🙂

@@Realistick unbelievable and I didn't know that, no wonder why the so called richest nation on Earth, has its power cuts in Texas with some snow and we had all our canals lakes etc frozen for 10 days and nothing never occurred... I can't believe that states with abundance of sun and wind or water never use them for a better life and nature, but only cling in to fossil fuels and those massive trucks or big homes,... France may not be a richest nation anymore but we have nuclear power, lots of wind and solar already and in Netherlands being my home country, they already have trouble fueling all these electric cars and 30% of homes are using solar panels already, my home there is 100% energy neutral and produces energy as well for others, and that in a place with hardly 100 sunny days a year... I love XC40 because they already went into fully electric great engines and different than Tesla, which builds plants across Europe like near Berlin by first cutting millions of trees for the buildings to come... Of course the trees must fuel their ugly cars too.. But yes, my XC90 was being kicked out or vomited on or scratches, that I went for a Citroën and now can't choose between XC40 or a VW T-Cross that is more fuel efficient and as comfy but less majestically cute

How is the noise insulation in the XC40? I'm getting quite worn out by the poor noise insulation in my X1 (F48 generation) but I was told that the XC40 doesn't fare really well in NVH as well.
