Thanks for watching!

Pretty sure you were saying “Sexy40”. Which is absolutely spot on.
haha, yes.
Haha yes, I thought I was the only one hearing sexy40 😂
You upgraded your camera? Quality of footage improved significantly. Like it!
There's a full electric XC40 coming in the next few months here per press announcements on Volvo's website

Electric cars have just as or more building impact as any other automobile, and they are way worse due to the fact that there are no clean power plants, they put the pollution out in much more concentrated form which is in someone else’s neighborhood and the transmission of energy through the lines looses 50%, and every power plant has more hazardous issues than just the discharge or in the case of nuclear ☢️ there is no safe disposal and it has a half life of a quarter of a million years. Then there is the manufacturing pollution and carbon impact for the lithium batteries not to mention the nighttime of disposal.
I have owned 10 Volvos 53 years and have 3 that are from 35 to 22 and 23 years old with 750,000 miles on them and I don’t plan on buying another car till I die unless someone hits one of my vehicles.
Clean energy doesn’t exist and people are being fooled to think that they can snub internal combustion engine owners with their little green tree tag. One more thing about me I have two degrees both from environmental planning with a strong focus on ecology. So don’t be fooled.

Live Free or Die!
@@clanrobertson7200 Of course you do.
I quite like the lava floor. Quirky and cool. A great vehicle for a small family.
One of the best .. The steering is light !! and great handling !! i would say go for it !!
My uncle has this, in my opinion it's a little cramped and I'm not a big guy. Overall though very quick and responsive, and that sound system is amazing.
Nice review. Thanks
love it
It's hard to find an inscription test of the xc40. The R Design is the one with the orange carpet and door panels and it seems that's the one that's always tested. It comes with a stiffer suspension and sometimes larger tires. This car seemed quiet, strangely quieter than its bigger, more expensive brothers.
Very cool!
You are so right about the thigh extension crease collecting crumbs😖
Vaccum
@@minecalos1870 You can't get as in there without damaging the leather.
If you're going to eat in your car, then prepared to clean up afterwards. All cars have places for crumbs to fall into.
Was the steering wheel close enough for you when you were driving? Your arms seem outstretched.
which city is that
Love bvb 1 of these if they actually last
I’d love to buy one but my closest dealer is 200 miles away 😞
Please do the 2020 Ram 2500 Hemi or 3500! Or maybe do the Ram TRX! I just want to hear some v8 grunt!
I really want this car, but it's sooooo expensive in my country.
For us it's like $74k for this model.
We can't have nice things.
My country is very expensive with only middle-high or high end cars too, especially when engines get larger than 2 liters. I visited Mercedes yesterday and the new ( fully loaded ) C200 AMG 4Matic costs around 70k$ while in Germany 50k$
@@genuinekid6701 Taxes and tariffs suck.
Which country is this that it costs so much???
@@caglioso The Philippines. Because of taxes and tariffs we can't have nice things.
My ideal car! I really hope I can afford one some day! Also, do you guys get the leon cupra? if so, are you excited for the new one?
Unfortunately we don't get anything from Seat here in the US !
@@TheTopher Oh man! nor Suzuki nor Seat! I'd say you guys are missing on some pretty fun cars but you do have other cool options!
@@juan193 Some companies are really scared of the US car market, its brutal and very hard to enter.
@@khailils446 I bet! You have incredible amounts of customization potential, a long list of options per segment and sometimes configs that other countries in the continent just dont get! I can see how that might affect their decision making process. I can see some cars being sold there like the Peugeot 3008 or the swift sport but then again you have more to choose from in those segments.
So which car at this class has the best sound system ? Here in Greece the business pack for this sound system costs 1600€ so I really wanna know the difference between competitors
Bowers & Wilkins in Volvos. Mark Levinson in Lexus & Burmeister in Mercedes. top 3 sound systems imo and i love just sitting and listening to music
You don't get that much efficiency out of your momentum, if you got the R-Design;) @7:13
hopefully i will buy this car. i just love it
I have owned 10 Volvo since 1967. Presently have 3. I work with my father from age 10 to 20, and I have enjoyed working on my Volvos as a form of stress relief...well a diversion with a different type of work.
This XC40R looks like another fine vehicle. I have heard that Volvo will only be hybrid or electric next year. I have a little problem with that even though I have two degrees from Environment based curriculum. To keep it at a minimum of words, here are the primary problems.
1. We Do Not have a CLEAN Power Supply. All fuels for generation of power today are not clean. The pollution is simply relocated somewhere else and is much more concentrated.
2. The transmission of power is very inefficient. You can hear the electricity leaving the high powered transmission lines and returning to the atmosphere. Some estimates put the loss at 50%. So in essence, your electric car is doubled the amount of fuel per mile. Until a really clean generation method is developed it might be better to continue to improve efficiency and emissions as we have been. I know about the pollution aspects of petroleum, but cars are radically improved over my lifetime. So if you are honest, the answer in great part is the increase in the number of cars on the road which reflects that the most critical aspect is population increases and the number of people who have risen to an income level that can afford a car.
3. The battery industry’s environmental impact during production and as a waste byproduct. When you couple this with there short life, added weight and limited range, I see an environmental liability for all of these factors that more than likely are greater than petroleum at present.

What would you rate 1 to 10 in reliability wise? 😊
@@misnomerl6329 I would rate the OP a 1 in reliability.
Uau What a nice car. I will buy it one day!!! Note it
In some other reviews for this, some reviewers said that the steering was so light that you could have trouble guessing where you tire was pointing. Did you find that to be an issue?
The steering is a little too light, I’d agree
@@TheTopher go into settings to alter
Could u please do a POV test drive of a Rolls Royce ghost or Cullinan?
We'll see if we can get something this summer, would love to
Beaufiul car
Volvo fakes me out because I originally thought that was a regular shifter, not a click click haha
Drives better then winding road magazine
Kinda torn between this and a rdx

Can you please do a review of 2020 Chevy Blazer
Detroit boi
Sounds really loud inside.
Eh, I don't choose to use the paddles because the transmission isn't good at choosing gears. I use them because they keep me a bit more involved with the driving and because they let me use engine braking. I would not give Volvo a pass for laggy paddles just because the transmission shifts well and times itself correctly, they have to get the whole thing right.
If you’re wanting to be “involved with driving” and you’re looking at a car like this, you need to reevaluate. First starters, look at the right type of car. This, like 100% of volvos and 80+% of cars aren’t designed for the kid racer who wants to be “involved with driving” and aren’t bought people who want to be “involved with driving”. Gotta look at the right market dude,
@@10293 That's certainly one way to look at it. Another is that Volvo is sending mixed signals with the product and its marketing and needs to do a better job at crafting the message or making the product fit the message. Paddles were literally an advertised feature on R-Design trims before they removed them for MY21 to cut costs, so it's their bad for not making them usable.
Lol at 46k it’s a hard pass. Other brands offer more features and better reliability for under 40k.
Calisto Riviera Name some then
They’re aren’t really. Nice try though, troll.
That sound of the engine the whole time is so annoying when you are used to a electric car.
