The Volvo XC40 is a great car that packs quality, performance and style in a pleasing little SUV package. This is our 6th Volvo and it is one of the best in quality, ride and handling. My wife absolutely loves this vehicle. She is petite but has no problems getting in and out of the vehicle, finding the best seating position and comfortably driving the vehicle. Likewise, she thinks Volvo has the most ergonomic seats in the world. She has back issues but they are never aggravated driving this vehicle for both long and short distances. I concur with her opinions and would add that the XC40’s performance and handling are great. It’s not a Porsche but the turbo-4 (T5) can move when it’s necessary to pass or break free from a band of pokey drivers. Interior design and quality are pleasing and comfortable. Volvo has always given special attention to safety and minimalist design - it’s a Swedish hallmark that makes Volvo’s unique and dependable. In short, a good buy if you’re looking for style, dependability and quality performance.

I had this car a few short months and the engine light has already come on. The gas mileage indicator increases and decreases at any given time. The engine is also a little noisy. I called about having the car serviced and was told it may be something with the emissions. Either way this should not be happening with a new vehicle. Now I have to wait a whole week before the problem can even be addressed. 😡

So much to love...but problems

I love this car more than any I've ever had, but during the first year I've had it there have been 2 recalls. I had to have all the brake pads replaced due to corrosion and the check engine light came on this week. It has something to do with emissions and the mass air flow. The suspension is also out of whack and my car will be in the shop all weekend because they can't identify the problem in the suspension. If I've had this many problems with less than 25k miles, I'm scared what will happen after it's out of warranty. I like that it's very nimble and has a unique look. I have to wait about 30 seconds after I turn the car to make any changes to the radio or try to use my phone. It will completely freeze without adequate "warm up" time.

Problems with reverse camera, cs unresponsive

I have had some problems with the reverse camera. Sometimes it shows in black, sometimes it doesn’t open at all. It is a 2020 XC40 with 3 months in use, and after attempting to contact costumer service apparently the camera is expected to have a delay of 2-3 minutes, something unheard of for me. I do have the email support for that statement which doesn’t seem to be in the specs of the cars. In any case it used to work properly for the first three months, it’s just sad the brand don’t even aim to fix its defects
