We bought this vehicle brand ne. Within few months or year under warranty the vehicle stop in the middle of the street. To find out that Somehow misteriusly put Diesel Gas inside high octane or 93 gasoline. FYI no Diesel option are available at close gas station and if there was one it doesn't fit correctly inside high premium gasoline vehicle. To cover their expenses, Volvo does not cover such findings and requested us to pay in CASH only to make sure they are safe to cover their a**.. Overall after 17 years of Volvo owners, this pandemic surely change reputation negatively and would NOT recommend purchasing new car anymore

I owned an XC60 prior to purchasing the XC40, obviously the interior/cargo space is smaller but it works perfect for my needs. It has some very cool interior lighting. The touch screen did take a little getting used to, since everything including the manual are accessed through it. The car is a bit noisy when on the highway but it is not horrible by any means. It is a very smooth ride. The only complaint that I have is the headrests are way too forward and are a bit uncomfortable especially in the back. Overall a really great car for the money and having owned one previously, I know they are extremely reliable.
