If multimedia systems and touch screens becoming mainstreem in new cars, it does not mean that's better. Buttons are more practical they does not distract driver, while he is trying to properly touch some area on screen.
@@EasyStreet88599 I got the 2015 T5 AWD. If you watch these british reviews, you would think it's a rubbish car till you own one. You need to drive the car for a while to appreciate the intelligent and safety features it packs. If you need a moderately quick car with premium interior and safe of peace of mind go for it. Fan fact, it's not as sporty (don't mistake this for power because it beats rivals by far) and flashy as Germans but with regular maintenance, it easily outlasts them. Once you own a Volvo, you'll always keep one.. just something about the car.
@@EasyStreet88599 no worries mate. Don't take my word for it but you can watch a proper review of the V40 t5 AWD here ruclips.net/video/YeX0fOw_2H8/видео.html As an owner of one, this is easily the best review I've seen thus far.
@@darviksiy Thanks Darius but I won't go for the country V40 because I didn't find one around me and I think I prefere the urban model V40. it's a first purchase of a car for me...
Lol,some of the comments on here Yes it’s an old model but you can get 20% off the list price plus £2500 deposit contribution Which makes this a very attractive alternative to other cars in its new price bracket .
This ist not the 2018 Model! Wrong (older) Exhaust' s (i buyed and have the 2018 V40 CC Pro as T4 with AWD ... yes there is a T4 with 190 hp and AWD not only the T5)
You don't have to touch dashboard to control infotainment system nor getting to system settings, everything can be done from steering wheel (which is btw much more convenient than dealing with iDrive alike joysticks that force you taking your hands off the wheel), and system is very intuitive, do your homework before doing review rather than copy/paste from others...
Absolutely right. You have to just watch three british reviews. Same thing. But here's one that does a proper review ruclips.net/video/YeX0fOw_2H8/видео.html
I miss the number pad found on these Volvos. I don't think any new cars still have them. I always make phone calls by dialing the numbers by memory, it's annoying to do it using a swivel wheel or touchscreen.
Complaining about pressing a button on the move being fiddly, when its nice and simple compared to using a bloody touch screen when driving! (admittedly the v40's cluster of buttons is awful though!)
The video isn't bad, but the color grading in these latest videos has been really really bad. Look at her face when inside the backseat, it's more orange than Donald Trump. Do something about the grading of the videos, the rest is great.
Great test, you are the best too make a objective test of cars! Thank you pretty test driver... But sorry for VOLVO, the interior we are tired of, is old on this 2019 model V40!!!
Typical Carbuyer review. I mean why would you want to off-road in compact hatch? Amongst other things... Didn't expect much. Here's a proper review of this car, ruclips.net/video/YeX0fOw_2H8/видео.html. You'll thank me later.
So it is just a hatchback that is old inside and out, very overpriced, has a little boot and a short warranty. But hang on, it's ok because it's a Volvo.
Side on it looks like a smooshed up Kia Sportage. But hey, all crossovers nowdays look the same.. Why, oh dear god why do Volvo insist on putting that stupid bloody dial pad in the dash too... It looks like a BT payphone slapped in there!!
This is nonsense...the first point she should have made in the introduction is that the v40 is on its way out and about to be replaced. God help anyone who buys one based on thus review. Looks VERY old fashioned (esp interior) compared to new range of volvos.
Ginny: a good job as always, and one of the most "natural" presenters of car reviews online.
You said the entry-level trim has leather seats, and that leather seats are "added" at the top trim... so which is it?
Slide front seats all the way forward - Sit in the backseat - Film - "Knee-room is great!"
- Every car review ever
Tenho um Volvo V40 D3 automático é uma maravilha cross country os meus parabéns pela excelente marca VOLVO

Correct
5:16 Where do I find a beautiful road of leaves to drive on? Love it!
It's the Longcross test track.
love you Ginny, you are the best and a real beauty
NETnews Not sure that you can compliment a woman on her looks any more. That’s harassment.
Siblejm yeh its 2018
Siblejm and now in 2019 that would now be considered sexual harassment
I get mine on Saturday can’t wait 😜
are you happy with it?

Beautiful car
Im getting one tomorrow. Its gonna be my first car Volvo V40 diesel 2016 2.0 D2. Bought on Feb 2018, driven 110k. Should I?
If you got it ... Verdict?
Why do they always show the top of the range models which most people don’t buy?
You know it's in Swedia when you can review a car in the middle of the road
NICE CAR AND NICE PRETTY CLEVER TEST DRIVER! Volvo only build good, and safety cars, thats it

You got few buttons combo to use, either on you steering wheel, on console or combined.
Volvo😍❤️
nice dubbing over the "Audi a3" bit hahaha
Good car in case Volvo gives at least 20% discount for a decade old car.
Top female car reviewer on youtube

Nice
Great test, you are the best too make a objective test of cars! Thank you pretty test driver... But sorry for VOLVO, the interior we are tired of, is old on this 2019 model V40!!!
Why is four wheel drive only offered on the T5 petrol?
Insanely gorgeous Ginny 💕
would does D2, D3 and D4 mean?
D2 = 120BHP
D3 = 150BHP
D4 = 190BHP
All of them the same 2l engine!
D means Diesel
Early D2s like my 2013 had the 1.6 engine but they changed them later on.
space at the back eish stingy.... i know many sweds are really tall hhhhhmmmmmm... they never consulted the locals lol but all is good abt
Interior straight from 2008...
It is a very nice design,with good quality materials.
why show a 10 years old car when we have a new cross country?
It’s just laughably old at this point. They really need that new one to come out.
they went with the alternative and just discontinued it 🤣
Hate that handbrake
WTF VOLVO! why aren't you selling this in NORTH AMERICA!!!! you guys need to have entry level cars if you want more people to buy VOLVO!
D2 is not 1.6
Ginny, It's time to change your job. Stop the auto q and be real car reviewer
Hate these new crossovers
So don't leave the kitchen than.. you'll be ok..
Claire Kennedy I hate you.
Claire Kennedy This car is in no way new...
These aren't new for Volvo, they've been doing higher, body cladded cars for close to 2 decades now.
Billy Johnson new in the USA where I'm from but there are a lot of new vehicles like this & I don't like them

Dashboard is getting so dated now. They need to realise the new one !
picklesrule69 release?
Nothing much. Yes! Autocorrect was on lol
Its personal. I like this dashboard, with buttons… Easy to use. I hate it when everything is on touchscreens. :)
Extremely outdated interior
Ginny you are so beautiful,

jaw fail courage determine confuse sorry dramatic clear legislative sir average.

Hideous car.
Ginny is the only high point of this video.
Hideous car?? Should have gone to specsavers mate!
That interior is so ugly

"esh U V" normal people say SUV
One ugly car
The interior is rubbish
Glen Luss I suppose your Trabant is better is it?
