Volvo ruined the Xc40

2025 Volvo XC40 B5 Plus Dark 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

We had a 2020 T5 momentum. 160k miles with virtually no problems. Just purchased a 2025 top level trim Xc40 and it has been nothing but problems. Check engine light multiple times, build quality issues, Apple car play works maybe 10% of the time unless you do a soft reboot. Sounds system is a joke and rattles. App usually doesn't work. If you start the car with the app (when it actually works) you have to shut the car off when you get in it, and restart it again, otherwise you can't put it in drive. And the best part, some days it won't event start. All this under 5k miles. What a joke. I'll never buy a Volvo again. Btw- you can't disable the start stop system either like you could with the T engines.
Happy owner

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.

XC40 Review

2024 Volvo XC40 B5 Core Dark 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

Hard to give a great review as I have only driven it about 40 miles. It is a nice little car and handles very well. Turned in my Inscription XC60, which I absolutely loved. That was a very classy looking car. The XC40 styling is very nice but I cannot honestly say it has as much pzazz as the Inscription
