What’s new

The 2019 Volvo XC40 is an all-new vehicle.

Vehicle overview

Volvo has had much success with its five-passenger XC60 and larger three-row XC90 crossover SUVs. In fact, they're the brand's most popular vehicles. So if two is good, three is even better, right? Volvo must think so because the company is rounding out its portfolio with the all-new 2019 XC40. You might agree, too. If those other Volvos seem too big or expensive, this smaller XC40 could be just the thing.

The 2019 Volvo XC40 successfully translates the distinctive look of Volvo's larger SUVs into a smaller package. You'll notice this as soon as you take a seat in the cabin. The steering wheel, touchscreen and center stack design will be immediately familiar to those who have driven an XC60. Numerous cubbies throughout the interior are also suitable for storing small items, and a removable cargo floor partition helps make the most of the smallish cargo area.

There are some shortcomings: In particular, while Volvo has a reputation for exceptional seat ergonomics, the XC40 is a notable exception to the rule. The front headrests are pushed aggressively forward and have only limited vertical adjustment. This means that some drivers will have trouble finding a comfortable seating position.

As expected from a manufacturer whose reputation was built on passenger safety, most of today's advanced driving aids are standard or optional. Every XC40 is equipped with Volvo's City Safety feature, which can warn the driver if it senses an imminent collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist or large animal. It'll even apply the brakes if you don't react quickly enough. The optional rear cross-traffic alert system will also hit the brakes if a car is about to collide with you while backing up. Other systems include headlights that turn as you rotate the steering wheel, the semiautomated Pilot Assist function and automated parking.

Not every luxury automaker has been able to package its core strengths in a small, relatively affordable crossover. It's a bit late to the party, but Volvo has done its homework with the 2019 XC40. Even if you get the base model with no add-ons, this subcompact luxury crossover is very competitive against rivals such as the BMW X1, the Jaguar E-Pace and the Lexus NX 300.

Edmunds' Expert Rating

7.8 / 10

Even in its least expensive trim level, the new 2019 Volvo XC40 outclasses many of its small luxury crossover rivals. Its precisely detailed interior, powerful engine, and wide variety of safety features are sure to delight if you're shopping for an affordable and maneuverable luxury SUV.

Trim tested

Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the 2019 Volvo XC40 T5 R-Design (turbo 2.0L inline-4 | 8-speed automatic | AWD).

Scorecard

Overall	7.8 / 10
Driving	7.5
Comfort	7.5
Interior	7.5
Utility	7.5
Technology	8.0

Driving

7.5

A spunky turbocharged four-cylinder motivates the XC40, making it feel spry, though even the sportier tuned R-Design trim feels calibrated more for comfort than performance. Braking, steering and shifting are all agreeable, and we preferred the Dynamic setting in most instances.

Acceleration

8.0

The turbo 2.0-liter engine is sufficiently quick and responsive. There is a small powerband flat spot toward the mid- to upper-rpm range, but it's short-lived and more of a quirk since it doesn't really affect your ability to pass. It'll hit 60 mph in 6.8 seconds, which is competitive in the class.

Braking

7.5

Drive modes provide normal and dynamic brake settings, which is a unique feature. The Normal setting is too sensitive, making the brakes touchy, while Dynamic gives a firmer pedal that makes it easier to be smooth. We recorded a stopping distance of 125 feet from 60 mph, a good result for the class.

Steering

7.5

Steering effort is variable. In Normal mode, it's a little light and sensitive for how softly the suspension is tuned. The Dynamic setting lends more stability and control without being overly heavy. Turn-in is nice and quick, and the steering is accurate even if it offers just marginal road feel.

Handling

7.0

Its proportions lend an athletic look, but it feels a little top-heavy and surprisingly underdamped when maneuvering at speed. The compliance helps smooth out small bumps, but big bumps and undulations really make the XC40 move around. The Infiniti QX30 and BMW X1 feel more nimble yet better tied down.

Drivability

7.5

The powertrain and transmission work well enough, but the shifter interface requires two taps every time you want to move to Drive or Reverse, which we found quite inconvenient. The transmission otherwise is responsive to shift commands, and even the stop-start system is fairly unobtrusive.

Off-road

7.5

With a relatively generous 8.3 inches of ground clearance, fairly short overhangs and all-wheel drive, the XC40 has the tools to tackle soft roads if you care to venture out. It's not intended to be a rock crawler but will afford the average owner some basic off-road confidence.

Comfort

7.5

The soft-riding suspension is the comfort highlight of the XC40, which is surprising given the R Design's stiffer tuning. The front headrests could be a deal-breaker for some depending on body proportions and driving position. Although the climate system keeps up, the interface has downsides.

Seat comfort

6.5

The stylish front headrests lean too far forward and offer limited height adjustment, which some may find very uncomfortable. The seat cushions are comfortably firm and only have mild lateral support, which matches the conservative handling. Sueded seat center sections don't breathe particularly well.

Ride comfort

8.0

The suspension is non-adaptive and pretty softly sprung, so the ride is surprisingly plush-riding on the highway considering the shorter wheelbase and large 20-inch wheels. Sharp road bumps are nicely dulled, but more gradual undulations require a few moments for the car to recover composure.

Noise & vibration

7.0

There's a layer of consistent road noise as well as faintly detectable wind noise. You'll hear the turbo spool up regularly if you don't have any audio playing, and the engine note isn't particularly unpleasant. This cabin is not especially quiet, though it's not far off most others in this class.

Climate control

7.5

The climate system didn't feel as if it's blowing as cold as the indicated temp. The system works just fine when cranked up. There's a lag time accessing the controls through the touchscreen at startup, which is frustrating on a hot or cold day. You can precondition the cabin on a schedule or remotely through the Volvo On Call app control.

Interior

7.5

If not for the heavy reliance on the laggy touchscreen and the shifter that requires a double tap, the XC40 would have scored higher in this area. Volvo's excellent use of cabin space and conscious effort to maximize visibility for the driver is obvious. Tall drivers may not find a comfortable position, though.

Ease of use

6.0

Volvo's labels and controls are less intuitive to learn and use than those of other brands. A majority of functions are accessed through the touchscreen, which creates a clean interior design but has a maze of menus and lags a bit (especially at startup), which can be frustrating. The double-tap shifter has to go.

Getting in/getting out

7.5

Nice, large squared-off upper door openings with easy step-over heights and doors that open almost to 90 degrees make this small SUV simple to get in and out of. The lower portion of the rear doors is a little narrow, and you may have to scoot around the rear wheelwell if you're parked next to another car.

Driving position

7.0

There's a nice amount of adjustment in the driver's seat. The telescoping steering column may not have enough reach for long-legged drivers, but average-size people shouldn't have any issues. With the exception of the headrest design, a comfortable driving position shouldn't be too difficult to find.

Roominess

8.5

The packaging of the cabin lends an open feel and is among the most spacious in the class behind the BMW X1. The front room is great all around, and the back seat is especially roomy for the segment. At 5 feet 9 I sit very comfortably behind myself thanks to good legroom and a large toe box under the front seat.

Visibility

8.5

Visibility is excellent thanks to the upright greenhouse, large windows, well-placed side mirrors, and rear headrests that electronically fall down. The rear pillars are still massive, but the windows are drawn back far enough to counteract this. The optional 360-degree camera system makes parking a breeze.

Quality

8.0

Inside and out, the design is pleasing and does its best to blend high-quality materials with more budget-friendly stock. The digital interfaces and floating air vents anchor the upscale look. Overall it's a nice execution, though not quite at the same level of luxury of the larger Volvos we've come to love.

Utility

7.5

The XC40's cargo area is smaller according to the numbers, but it is nevertheless nicely sized and full of smart storage features. Up front, the storage bins are clever as well, but there are a few options to keep personal effects hidden. The car seat anchors are a bit tough to access.

Small-item storage

7.5

A variety of storage spaces in the cabin are there for small items, including a clever little trash bin. But to hide valuables, the only real options are the center armrest and glovebox. Large felt-lined door pockets are nice to have since they prevent items from rattling around.

Cargo space

8.0

The cargo area appears to have adequate space, but at 20.7 cubic feet, it's on the smaller side. Our tester had power-release flat-folding 60/40-split seats with a ski pass-through. A clever foldable load tray converts to a grocery bag holder — excellent execution here.

Child safety seat accommodation

7.0

The anchors are cleanly located under flip doors, but they're buried a little deep for comfortable access. You might have the best chance of fitting a bulky rear-facing seat in this car compared to most others in the class, but it'll still be a tight fit.

Technology

8.0

With the exception of an overly sensitive forward collision system, the XC40 shows pretty strong on the technology front. We like the options provided for smartphone integration and the complimentary Wi-Fi trial. Even the native voice controls have above-average usefulness.

Audio & navigation

8.0

The optional Harman Kardon audio system produces great sound with 13 speakers versus the standard eight. The nav has a nice pinch-to-zoom interface and multiple map views but nothing fancy like Google Earth satellite view. Route guidance and map can be displayed within the configurable gauge cluster.

Smartphone integration

8.0

CarPlay and Android Auto are standard alongside a native media interface, two forward USB ports and a 12-volt outlet. There's an additional 12-volt outlet in the rear and another in the cargo hatch. Our tester also had a large wireless phone charger and rear USB ports.

Driver aids

7.5

Volvo offers a full suite of driving aids, some standard and optional. The lane keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring system work well, and the adaptive cruise is also decent. But we experienced a number of startling false positives with the forward collision warning system, which is not defeatable.

Voice control

8.5

The built-in voice controls are pretty advanced and can access the navigation system, place phone calls and adjust cabin temperature. The guidance prompts are helpful, too. You can also press and hold for Siri or Google when your smartphone is connected.

An awesome compact SUV part 1

Raoul Watson, 01/11/2019

2019 Volvo XC40 T5 R-Design 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

This is the first Volvo I have ever owned in my life, my previous car was a 2015 Chevy Impala (see my review on the Impala). I always wanted a Volvo but always was apprehensive due to design and reliability reports from owners. The 2019 XC 40 however, seems to be a very solid crossover/SUV border lining a luxurious car. 1. Appearance: The 2019 Volvo XC 40 is a very handsome looking … compact SUV. It is the smallest version of the Volvo SUV and it seems a good crossover for "SUV beginners" like me. I like the fact that it is not too tall which would make entry a challenge. Everything on the outside points to a very well thought off design. I was a little surprised that the placement of the side mirror on the side door is not a little bit further to the front. Because of this further back placement, when the driver looks at the side view mirror, there is a gap between the vehicle body and the mirror, which to me is a little annoying and takes a little getting used to. 2. Performance: The 2.0 liter turbocharged four cylinder 248-hp engine, 8 speed auto transmission is impressive. Just a little push on the gas and it goes from zero to sixty in about 7 seconds. The handling is nimble and almost sporty. The powertrain is quick and responsive but it has an annoying start and stop system. As with most newer cars, when you stop, the XC 40 idles the engine completely down to a point that the engine is shut off. This system would cause an abrupt jerking when restarting. The SUV would lurch forward when starting up from a stop light. It takes a while getting used to but I found out that it is better to release the brakes and wait two second before applying acceleration to avoid the lurching. 3. Safety: The XC 40 is loaded with the safety features found in luxury cars and as always, Volvo is synonymous with safety. ABS, traction, and stability control comes standard along with Volvo's City Safety package. This includes automatic emergency braking along with sensors to detect other vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other city perils in the vehicle’s path. It includes adaptive cruise control; forward collision warning; lane departure warning; blind spot warning (on the side mirrors); and rear cross-traffic alert making it the most complete crash avoidance system you can get. The optional Pilot Assist / driver assistance system is impressive. I tested it one evening and found that the system has good judgement identifying lane markings and responding to vehicles surrounding us. As a pilot I am not a stranger in trusting an "autopilot" system but with a car, because of the visualization interpretation, I would not be very comfortable trusting it 100%. For example, in NY the presence of highway construction means lanes are repainted so multiple crossing lanes would just confuse the pilot assist. So I would use it only on long distance good quality highways. The adaptive cruise control is convenient. It slows the vehicle during traffic slowdowns, and even stop the car to resume progress all on its own. With the addition of daylight running light of beautiful LEDs, all these safety features will give you a handsome insurance discount. 4. Ergonomics: In this department Volvo did not fare very well in my opinion. The human interface of the controls of this car is not always logical. For starters, the gear/transmission shifter it's horrible. It requires a two-step action. For example, to engage reverse or drive, one must move the gear selector twice; one to the back, then in the appropriate direction to select drive or reverse. This is extremely annoying during parking maneuvers and is very frustrating. Of course the argument could be that I should use the automated parking assistance but the shifter is just very unnatural for drivers. While you can operate almost every control from the steering wheel and the voice recognition is a nice addition, the central control screen is extremely convoluted and requires a high degree of learning curve. Coming from Volvo, particularly because it sees itself as a safety brand, the central control screen is just unsafe because it is almost impossible to operate safely while driving. There are too many unintuitive multiple taps, swipes and scrolls necessary to navigate the system. In addition, the system is awfully slow to respond. For example, changing a driver profile can take over a minute to load. If there are two things requiring a redesign, it would be the shifter and the control screen. The goal obviously should be to reduce the distraction and the precious seconds’ loss with eyes off the road to do basic functions as changing cabin temperature and audio source. --see continuation on part 2 (5.

Great car just - first year issues

Brilliant small SUV, perfect if a few tweaks

Rebecca Caldwell, 07/18/2018

2019 Volvo XC40 T5 R-Design 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

January 2021: 3 years and I still love this little car. In fact, I love it so much that I am upgrading to the new XC40 Recharge in March and can't wait. I can't say enough how fun this little SUV is. July 2020: still in love with the xc40. Lease is up next year and already reserved my electric version of the xc40. January 2020: still in love with this car. No new concerns or issues. … Update July 2019: 1 year later and I still love my Volvo. The issues I listed a year ago, while not big issues, remain (except the moonroof screen issue... Volvo was able to correct the problem) and I would love to see them resolved in the next model. Nothing I have found would prevent me from either keeping the model I have or buying the next model. I am an absolute convert to the Volvo brand with this little SUV. I have owned Toyotas, Hondas, Fords, Subarus and Chevy's (this is my first Volvo but my 19th vehicle). This is BY FAR my favorite. Let me qualify my review by saying I have no kids and rarely take passengers other than a couple large dogs so wanted an AWD SUV that was compact but did not lack any of the larger SUV perks and got good gas mileage while still having get-up-and-go. This is the only SUV I found that gives you the same options as the larger SUVs (I'm a gadget snob) while still giving you a decent size engine to get you there as quick as you want with good gas mileage (for an SUV). This does every bit of what I was looking for and does it in still. It is truly a fun car to drive and am so happy I got it. The pros FAR FAR FAR FAR outweigh any of the petty first-world issues I have come across, most of which are to be expected on a first-model year vehicle. The only issues I can find are as follows: CELL PHONE CHARGING: 1) The wireless charger is pretty useless as there is no ventilation in the compartment so it overheats within minutes, 2) with a larger phone (I have a Note 8) you cannot wirelessly charge the phone and use Android Auto (which requires you to use a cable) as there isn't enough physical space, 3) the port to use Android Auto is not fast charging so if you cannot use the wireless charger while using Android Auto, you essentially cannot charge your phone, 4) the only fast charging port in the vehicle is the USB-C facing the rear seats in the center console; LANE KEEP: 1) I find myself "fighting" the lane keep assistant as it picks up cracks in the road and is a bit hyper-sensitive at times, even set on the lowest/mildest setting; PANORAMIC MOONROOF: 1) uses a multi-function button that can be overly sensitive and opens things you didn't intend, 2) the screen doesn't always close completely, which may be in part due to the multi-function button trying to open the vent end of the moonroof; DRIVING MODE SETTINGS: 1) The XC40 allows you to set and save individual driving settings (everything from seats to display appearances and driving preferences) and recognizes the driver by the key fob used but, even with this, you still have to change the driving mode setting every time you get in the car (eco mode, performance, etc) - you would think you could make that a default setting with the others; and, finally A/C: 1) other manufacturers have vehicles that do not start air blowing from vents until the air coming out is cool (for A/C) or warm (for heat) but Volvo does not do this so went you turn on the A/C you get outside temp air until the system blows it through and gets to the cool/warm air. OVERALL IMPRESSION: I love this SUV and with a few minor tweaks think it could be the perfect car. I look forward to seeing the coming model years and the perfection that is sure to come. UPDATE January 2019: After driving the xc40 for 8 months I can say I like it as much or more than when I wrote this. The minor issues still should be improved in future models but it doesn't change my love for this fun and exciting little suv. Can't wait to see this model with the little bugs worked out!

Still love my little XC40 T5

Pam, 10/18/2018

2019 Volvo XC40 T5 Momentum 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

The body style was what caught my eye initially and had seen it for the first time on a commercial of all things. Looked at other brands (Toyota, Honda, Subaru) before deciding I would at least like to see the XC40 in person. Once I test drove it, I was in love. It feels good driving it. I like a boxier body type but this is a little boxy with a punch of style. I've had mine now for …
