FIRST DRIVE: 2018 Volvo XC40 T5 AWD R-Design in Malaysia

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is it. Volvo's most ambitious attempt at wooing the younger crowd. It's been proven that design truly does matter, but as you'll soon find out, the XC40 has far more than just good looks to offer.

    Great review. I bought the fully loaded UK first edition 290 bhp D4 diesel version R Design XC40 in crystal met white. It looks premium without shouting flashy. Engine has lots of torque and I get 38-42 miles to the UK gallon on average with suburban driving. Comfort safety and tech is off the scale, and the sporty R Design's slightly stiffer suspension copes well with cornering, not bad for an SUV. In fact I really can say it puts a smile on my face every single day I drive it, and I've had mine a year now. That's a lot of satisfaction for the price.

    I don’t know why you bother mentioning Aisin vs ZF since the X1 also uses the same identical Aisin transmission. ZF don’t do a FWD 8 speed hence the reason BMW have moved to Aisin for their torque converter option. It would be better to care BMW’s implementation of the Aisin which does shift better. That said, getting the Polestar upgrade for the XC40 seems to improve the ratios between gears and I notice a big improvement over the non-polestarred version.

    I find the XC40 pivoting dog guard boot grill way better than the dog harness, you can pivot it up when not in use and it sits against the ceiling in the boot but I leave it in place as it's not intrusive.

    XC40 is a handsome looking compact suv, but I reckon it should be a 2 door coupe (like evoque) rather than odd looking 4 door. pretty tight and small rear door/mirror. not very comfy at the back, or perhaps they design it only for kids, dogs and cats

Jokes aside, X70 is great value, and if I didn’t need to wait a year for it in Thailand I’d consider buying one. Thankfully I only have to wait a few more weeks for my XC40 to arrive from Shah Alam
