I have had the car since October 2021, and have regretted my purchase ever since. The car is beautiful and when it works it drives so smoothly, this is where they get you at the dealership. The battery life on this car is laughable with it providing maybe 60 miles per complete charge. But that is not even the worse part, I have to go into the dealership roughly once ever two weeks for some type of computer issue, and have been towed 4 times since owning this car. The computer issues have been: locking me out completely from the car as it doesn't recognize the keys, navigation system that will go complete black to it just continuously saying re-route on a loop for over 5 minutes, not allowing us to close the back hatch despite no obstructions, constant low pressure tire sensors going off and not changing when adding air to tires. On top of all that I have had to have 3 tires completely replaced on the car as they keep bursting - once while driving. I drive this car like a grandma and avoid all potholes due to previous tires issues, yet the tire issues just keep on coming. The dealership has no explanation for any of the above and say they just have to look into it and that tire issues are "normal" for any car. Run away from this car as fast as possible, if not get used to running as you will never be able to actually drive this car for any given period of time and will need to run to get to your destination instead.

Three months in, we could not be more pleased with this car. We just took it in an extended road trip to a remote(ish) area, and we were able to map out our travel with appropriate charging stops with great success. This vehicle is extremely comfortable, the controls are easy to navigate, the drive is beyond smooth, the acceleration is incredible, the storage is sufficient, the style is refined, the sound system is fantastic. It makes even the smallest trip a total joy.

Bad enough that this car infotainment system does not have all the functions they advertise are available, but during the buying process, the staff never mentioned the system is half baked, and that it will be a while before it is SUPPOSED to be ready. The staff at Volvo Cars of Orange County knows nothing about the system either. They set me up with a button pusher to show me how it works, but knew nothing, thus the nickname "button pusher". DO NOT BUY THIS AUTO. Even the so-called experts on their 800 number are no help at all !!! UPDATE; read the title.

The car drives great, but has a few software bugs. Infotainment system can require reset from time to time. App is not really as good as prior sensus system on the g as version but Google commands are cool. Car is like a regular car because it has a dash. Sits higher than a Tesla so more comfortable to drive. Volvo is useless. Customer sservice is untrained and not knowledgeable. Better info on Blog and Facebook sites

Outstanding All Around Great EV

The XC40 P8 is a fantastically designed EV - inside and out. Great looking, well built, outstanding safety design and features, superb performance, very roomy for a small SUV. The only issue with this model - as noted by others - is that the new Google-driven infotainment system was not ready for prime time. Some features - CarPlay, USB streaming - aren’t even available until future software updates. SiriusXM just became available with October update. Have had minor issues with maps and connecting to Volvo OnCall app. BUT the bugs are getting worked out and overall the new system will end up being a big step forward. I would take the low ratings based on infotainment issues with a grain of salt. This is a fantastic EV.
