I love my new xc40 for its superb design, turbo engine, and especially sophisticated interior. This is my second Volvo and they just keep getting better and better now that Ford sold its stake in the company and they can freely create some of the best cars on the planet. Attention to detail and incredible reliability make these models top selling for Volvo. UPDATE: I have had three Volvos and loved them all for many reasons including a beautiful design, good peppy engine…. But it was always safety at the top of my list since we have young children. That all went down the tube when my latest new xc40 had multiple incidents where the anti collision feature activated and we went into emergency braking. Any one of these could have caused à serious accident. Luckily I could regain control of the car but in all incidents there was nothing in the road and no danger. It was so bad my kids refused to get into the car. After multiple visits to the Volvo dealer it became clear they didn’t know how to prevent it from happening a 9th or 10th time. In contacting Volvo customer service I thought maybe they could help with a trade assist or do something helpful. They made it so much worse - and never let you speak with “non human facing technicians “. Their name for them not mine. It made me go from being a huge brand supporter to really despising the manufacturer. It’s so sad but I just had to sell the car and purchase a competing luxury brand. And of all reasons - because the vehicle wasn’t safe and volvo wouldn’t share any information or help find a solution.

Not Perfect, But Close Enough

Mine's a Momentum T5 AWD. Not sure about the earlier review that XC40 is comparable to Mazda or BMW X1. If you want performance, you’ve got to get the T5 (248 hp). With premium gas, I can do 0-60 in 5 sec. Interior wise, very Scandinavian. Clean lines, solid, utilitarian design. Heating gets a little noisy and transmission could be a little hesitant. Safety features saved me from close calls with pedestrians and cyclists on busy city streets. Not perfect, but close enough.

2023 Volvo XC40 B5 Ultimate Bright 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

Traded in a 2019 Volvo XC40 T5 Momentum for a new 2023 version of the same car. XC40, B5 mild hybrid, ultimate trim. My biggest complaint is the regenerative braking. It makes the brakes so slow and stiff that it's like the days before power brakes were invented! Bringing the car to a sudden slowdown on the freeway was like working my leg out on a weight machine at the gym - only scarier! They've also done away with the sport mode option and the way it drives now is downright sluggish compared to my old one. Now for the small stuff that is now worse than in my old car. The temperature settings now go in two-degree increments. Volvo doesn't seem to think that matters to people but I very often find (in my old car) that I'd be a little warm or cool and I would adjust the temp up or down by a degree. Now you have to go from 72, to 74, to 76, etc. Volvo eliminated the power back seat drop, which I used to be able to do from a lever the rear hatch area. Now you have to manually drop them one at a time from the side doors.
Is there a zero star rating option?

I have only owned this brand new Volvo xc40 2023 for three months and it has been in the shop for 29 days and counting. The IHU (radio) has been replaced. That replacement has been “fixed” once and it is now in the shop with the same issue- the IHU shuts down and this time with a warning not to drive the vehicle. The IHU is the hub that controls everything from the climate control to the phone to the radio and navigation. It’s a big deal when it fails. There are other issues as well. The car shuts off if you open the door while it’s in park, the driver’s seat sometimes moves on its own and twice after turning off the ignition, I got a warning upon opening the door that the engine was still running (it was not). You might say I have a lemon (and I’m sure I do), but I’m also not confident that other Volvos won’t have similar problems. I would steer clear of a 2022 xc40.
For the Money, Just "OK"

2022 Volvo XC40 T5 Inscription 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I love the look of the vehicle. That is what drew me to it to begin with. Wanted SUV without sacrificing sporty look. Decent comfort level. Cargo area isn't huge, but I guess it is sufficient. I wish I had gotten leather seats in lieu of the sporty "suede" that mine came with. Makes the interior feel basic rather than sporty (my fault, didn't realize I wouldn't love them). I don't love that you can't get an owner's manual, except electronically (I know, old school, but still). I also do not like that there isn't a remote start on the key fob, it must be done through the app. As a woman, when leaving a public place, I don't want to be paying attention to the phone, rather than my surroundings. Furthermore, what if I have bad cell signal, etc? Again, not a deal breaker, but more of a safety concern..why not have the availability of both? Decent vehicle, but probably wouldn't purchase this model again.
