Start with the pros. The vehicle is well built. Fit and finish is good. Seats are comfortable and the interior materials are first class. The engine and transmission are paired well and the vehicle accelerates well. The brakes work well. The AWD system is seamless. The Google interface is one of the best I have used, and it understands verbal commands. The Cons. If you touch the gas pedal and release, then press again, the vehicle hesitates as it decides whether to us the 48 volt motor or gas engine to move the car from a start again. There is excessive tire noise at highway speeds. The gas mileage is not great for a hybrid. The seats could use a little more bolster. The engine is a little noisy, should be a little more quiet for a premium vehicle. The Harmon Kardon upgrade is TERRIBLE. I previously owned stereo stores. The sound is only centrally located, there is not an equalizer or real tone controls, there is no fader or balance controls (only driver/front/rear emphasis) and the sub-woofer/surround controls have little effect. The final decision to trade this car was the car leaked oil all over my garage after a dealer oil change service because they did not tighten the drain plug.

What I like is the way it drives, it's very quiet I like the way that Google system works on a vehicle, I haven't found anything I don't like yet we have less than 500 miles on it.

Cute from far but far from cute!

2022 Volvo XC40 T4 R-Design 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

There are three trim models and two engine options. I purchased the R-Design trim with the T4 engine because I did not know much about Volvo. The exterior has a classy look but the interior is boxy and not very tech forward. They say the XC40 is competing with the BMW X1, Audi Q3, and Benz GLA250, but it’s really shouldn’t be compared to those luxury brands. The Volvo XC40 is more in comparison with Mazda and Subaru than anything else. A luxury brand they say? Far from it! Just because the car is unique to Sweden and they brand it as luxury it does not mean that it will live up to its name. The drive feels flimsy, the speed is not adequate, and the interior is mediocre. They put the T4 engine on an SUV, which is absolutely sad. It takes 8 seconds to go from 0-60. Any engine with less than 220 horsepower does not belong inside an SUV. The biggest mistake I made was leasing this Volvo XC40 T4 R-Design. My Mazda CX5 Grand Touring was better equipped, sportier, and more fun to drive. I recommend going for something like the BMW X1 or Mazda CX-5 if you want luxury and a good drive.

Some Great Some Terrible

So driving wise car is fine…comfortable and such. I have had four new cars in the last 5 years and I cannot believe that Volvo put into the market such a technology retard. Nothing is intuitive at all with system. Just finding anything is a cluster ———. The salesman on delivery told me most owners use their iPhone for navigation and after one attempt I see why…but that not the worst of interface. Frankly so bad and frustrating I am going to get rid of that particular car this year. Wish not so. Oh I keep getting faulty car warnings as well.
