2021 Volvo XC40 T4 Inscription 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
43 of 44 people found this review helpful
A really good little crossover, pretty good luxury features for the price, very minimal and quite reliable so far. The infotainment is a bit annoying because it doesn't make android auto full-screen and the seats could be a bit more premium. It's definitely nicer to live and drive than the CX-5 or CX-30, especially when it comes to comfort and features. Also the paint and corrosion protection is top notch, which is primarily the reason I bought it over the Mazdas. My old Mazda 3 undercarriage was nearly completely rusted after a couple of years due to the weather. I heard there were some electronic gremlins, but so far had no issues and stop-start works pretty much like my old mazda (though I disable it most of the time because it does degrade the starter and doesn't help economy that much) CTA and BLIS are awesome, and the driving feel is definitely really good though a bit light steering. Also it saved me from some collisions, so top marks so far Currently 15k miles on the odometer. Great car, maybe a bit expensive but it's definitely worth it for the style, safety and comfort

Not Perfect, But Close Enough

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

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.

My Sporty XC40

2021 Volvo XC40 T5 R-Design 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Loving my 2021 T5 R Design XC40. I owned the XC60 for 12 years, and loved it, and fell in love with this new little gem. Please note that the cargo area is a bit smaller than the XC60, but my husband can still fit his golf clubs and 2 large pieces of luggage in the car with ease so according to him all is right with the world. I have read complaints about the interactive system in the car, so I immediately read the short portion of how to use it and the general commands to ease the learning curve and I have loved it. I also read that others felt like it's not as luxurious as it could be, but I chose the R Design because I wanted a sportier look both in and out. I did look at the XC40 Momentum and Inscription and found them to be up to the standard of Volvo luxury if that is what you are looking for but want a smaller SUV. So far I have been completely happy with my new toy, and hope it gives me another 12 years of joy like my XC60 did. I am confident it will.

2023 Volvo XC40 B5 Ultimate Bright 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
19 of 20 people found this review helpful
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.
Volvo xc40 is total class

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.
