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

After owning MANY subcompact/compact SUV's (X1, CRV, GLA250, Rav4, CX-5, CX-3) I feel this 2019 Volvo XC40 Is absolutely the BEST. Fun to drive, Excellent build quality and materials, tons of storage spaces....and the coolest tablet-like infotainment center. And Volvo on Call is so good. Seriously the best value for the money of them all among the premium offerings in the segment. My first VOLVO...and I love it! 2019 Volvo XC-40 Inscription. Denim Blue with Amber interior. Thanks VOLVO

An Awesome Compact SUV - part 2

(Due to restrictive text length this review has two parts, this is part 2, see part 1 prior to reading this) 5. Interior and Comfort: The big front seats are roomy and plush. It can have seat ventilation/AC and seat warmer and heated steering wheel, and heated side mirrors. The automatic dual-zone system performed well. Fit and finish are exceptional, and the combination of black nappa leather and suede seat inserts. The seats are supportive beneath and comfortable on long trips. The seats also have plenty of adjustments, including generous fore-aft range and adjustable lumbar / lower-back support. 2 memory buttons allows you to record your favorite positions. It comes in handy when you pick up your car from service only to find out the person driving had changed all your settings. I was a little surprised at the lack of head room. I am by no means a tall individual but with my 5'10" stature, I have bumped my head in the driver's seat multiple times as I lean forward. I also find myself continuously snagging the panel with my shoes on my left foot when trying to position it on the foot rest in the left front side. Two adults will be very comfortable in the rear seats. I was able to cross my leg comfortably in the rear seat. There's plenty of knee and feet room. Three adults will fit side by side, but the center seat is rather tight and a very pronounced center tunnel consumes leg and foot room from the person in the middle. The rear trunk is surprisingly spacious with automated way to fold the rear seats. All my previous cars have been of the station wagon type of body since I have always been the interstate mover for my three children college moves. I was pleased to see the trunk size. 6. Technology: This car is loaded with technology too much to list. In addition to all the safety technology features listed above, the car comes with the On call system and Xirius radio for free trial. Once you use these, you probably would like to keep the convenience. Did you know that this car has its own Wi-Fi hotspot? In addition, it has an inductive phone charger so that you can just drop a compatible phone to charge it wirelessly. An app called "Volvo On Call" is available for your smart phone where you can perform functions from your phone (lock/unlock doors, start/stop engine). The app also has navigation map that once you found an address you can send it to your vehicle. I was a little disappointed to only find two USB ports. With current day technology, by the time you use one to charge your non inductive phone, one for a USB with MP 3 music, you no longer have a spare for dashcam or a secondary person needing to charge a non-inductive phone. The XC 40 ride is comfortable but can be a little stiff sometimes. There are several "Driver Mode" selectable such as Comfort and Eco but none of those affected the shock absorbers. The noise level is reasonably low and the handling is responsive. While the XC 40 model is by far not the most fuel economical model, the average 23 mpg overall can be a little pricey since the engine requires a premium high octane (98) fuel. However, it is still impressive for such a strong engine. My biggest gripe with the technology is that the most important contact between the car and the road, which is its tires, does not have the ability to provide continuous tire pressure monitoring system. I am not talking about a TPMS which tells you a tire is low and needs attention, but rather a system which displays tire pressure in PSI of all tires, at all times. In closing, I did miss the small rubber Swedish flag attached to the car’s left front flank which I saw at Javits Center during a car show but apparently removed from my production line.

Was in the market for an XC60, test drove this baby @ Volvo of North Miami, and fell in love with it. The Tech, is unmatched and the safety features which come standard, sets it apart from the competition. With the relocation of the A-pilar in the back seat, rear passengers will have a lot of leg room. Weston Volvo, had a helpful and knowledgeable staff. I was able to get a great deal on this compact SUV. This vehicle is well worth the purchase.
Nicely designed, fun to drive but quality issues

This is my third Volvo and 1.5 years into the ownership of this 2019 model. The car is very nicely designed, functional, fun to drive. Great engine with several driving modes to choose between performance and fuel economy. Very responsive. But what happened to Volvo quality? In under two years I had to replace rear camera, moving sunroof parts (under warranty) and a $600 out of pocket rotor replacement job with less than 30K miles on it. I love Volvo brand, but things like these are pretty disappointing.

Atlanta to Key West to Atlanta Wow!

My wife traded in her 2015 Porsche Macan S for this 2019 Volvo XC40 and I was not happy, at first. She said that she adored the color combinations of Amazon Blue and white top. We took it on the road beginning in Atlanta headed for Key West. The rain poured on our first day and the XC40 performed wonderfully. The exceleration was not Porsche like, but it did well on the open road of 75 S. The color that my wife loved so much was enhanced by the waters of Key West. Women were taking pictures of her car like it was a museum piece or a Louis Vuitton ladies purse. The oohs and ahhs were contagious. It wasn't until Naples that I realized the "Auto-pilot" feature. I was able to drive straight from Naples to Atlanta without feeling fatigued. The XC40 on auto-pilot at 70 mph's held true to the road and let me know all that I needed to know to be safe. The tracking was incredible. In closing, I like this car and when I go into the garage, I called her "Pretty Girl", my pet name for just about everything that I like. For me to write about a car like this is a one off, so don't take my words lightly, drive one for yourself.
