Only 10 reviews posted, and it’s unbelievable to read one that is describing the exact problem that I’m having. I’ve worked long and hard to afford this vehicle. I was so excited when I signed on that dotted line for my first Volvo! Imagine my disappointment of having owned the car less than two weeks abd receivjng a “SRS airbag warning “urgent” take to workshop” message. Surely, this is a serious safety concern. I have taken the car to the dealership 3 times (it’s there now) and they still cannot fix the problem—I’m about to pay my first car note on a car that I’ve barely been able to drive. Their excuse is that this is new technology, we’re still learning and we’re looking into it (REALLY)??? Apparently this is a known issue, but Volvo isn’t owning up to it. This is absolutely unacceptable and Volvo should replace my car but of course I’m not getting any proper recourse.

Just a few of my favorite things

Everyone has said all there is to say about the main features of this car, so I'll just say a few of my favorite things that unless you get to spend a lot of time with the car, you might overlook. 1. They really have thought of everything when it comes to storage on this car. For example, (the Edmunds reviewer missed these little "Easter Eggs") under the drivers seat is a discreet tray that slides forward to hid valuables like wallet, phone, checkbook, anything flat. The tray locks closed so it won't slide out unintentionally and you can't even see it when it's closed. You have to feel for it. Also, under the passenger seat is a "shelf" that is perfectly sized to hold the owners manual packet. This means you can free up the entire A/C cooled glove box for anything you want to keep cool. 2. The headlights are one of my favorite things and a pleasant surprise for how well they perform considering I didn't test drive at night. They turn with the steering wheel to illuminate any curves you might be heading into. They also have an auto on/off feature for the high beams. I live on rural roads, so I use high beams frequently. With one twist of the controls on the stem next to the steering wheel, it activates the high beams. When there is an oncoming car, the system automatically dims the high beams and then when the other car has passed the high beams come back on automatically. This even works if you come up behind a car in the same lane you are in. It is perfectly calibrated so I never have to override the settings. 3. I like to use the paddle shifters to downshift and save wear on the brakes. After manually shifting, you can just keep driving in whichever gear you left it in and when the RPM's become unstable for the gear you are driving in it will automatically revert to the correct gear and resume the automatic transmission. 4. No gas cap! Just open the gas door, stick the nozzle in, gas up, and shut the gas door when full. No fumbling with a dirty gas cap. 5. Rear view mirror. I don't notice much appreciation for the design of the mirror. Can you call a rearview mirror sexy? I just did. 6. The resolution on the cameras, especially on the huge display screen is crisp and beautiful. The 360 degree camera (uses 4 cameras around the car to give an aerial view including surroundings) is such a cool feature. There is no excuse to park bad in this car. I think I'll stop there, but I could go on.

Perfect Small SUV

We love this car. It's our first Volvo. Really like the adaptive cruise control, auto high beam headlights that move with the steering wheel, heated steering wheel, the panoramic sunroof that has a self-closing shade when the car gets too hot. I find the layout of the controls to be very intuitive. Love the touch screen with simple home button just like a tablet. It's small with a tight turning radius that makes it easy to maneuver. The back storage is brilliant with easy ability to subdivide to keep things from rolling around. It remembers the side mirrors position along with the seat position for each driver. Didn't think I'd care about it, but like the different driving modes; regularly change it between Comfort, Dynamic and Eco. I get better than the EPA gas mileage. Oh, and it has a built in trash can. Seriously, why doesn't every car have that?

So dissapointing

This is my first Volvo, I was so excited for it to arrive after ordering it earlier this year. It's a beautiful car, sporty, technology rich, but holy hell -- the problems I've had in the few short months I've owned it are not okay. Within a week, I received a notification the airbag system had failed. They replaced the sensor, same problem came back two weeks later. They had my car for almost a month trying to fix it. Now, a month later, same sensor has failed, I get notifications about the brake system failing, one tire pressure sensor is faulty, and various interior panels keep popping off. Working with Volvo right now to get them to buy my car back as part of Michigan's lemon law, so disappointing. I will never buy a Volvo again.

This crossover has all the latest safety and technology features as you build the car with option packages as most of the upscale brands do. Having driven a Subaru Outback (2007) and a leased CrossTrek (2015-18) with complete satisfaction for what they are, we wanted to step up to a premium brand that was not Audi or Mercedes (overrated anyway). Our goal was to find a vehicle in the same size (length) as the XTrek with the latest tech/safety features, and the XC40 fits to a T. My biggest disagreement with Edmunds and other reviews is that the Interface/technology screen is NO MORE difficult than learning how to use your new iphone or android/apple ipad. Fortunately I am not tall so the back seat doesn’t affect me at all.
