love my fully loaded XC40 T4 FWD Rdesign with the 20 inch wheels here in the South of USA and been to many drive thru safari's and long road trips, and I find the ride and comfort exceptional! It's a great start to a Volvo Luxury segment
Awesome review just leased a XT40 T5 AWD Momentum picking it up nest week can't wait to drive it had two Volvo S60s loved them awesome drive thanks Volvo for manufacturing these cars
Hello from Sweden. Just a note on the keys. You always get three keys when buying a Volvo, *two black ones* and a red one (which is now replaced by an orange colored). The orange key is a so called "Care Key". _"Volvo Cars today reveals the Care Key, allowing any Volvo buyer to set a speed limit for themselves, their family members or friends. The Care Key will come as standard on all Volvo cars from model year 2021._ _The Care Key allows Volvo drivers to set limitations on the car’s top speed, before lending their car to other family members or to younger and inexperienced drivers such as teenagers that only just received their drivers’ licence."_ - Volvo Cars, Gothenburg, Sweden You can also use the orange colored key when you wish to share the car with someone who doesn't have a key. You put it in the glove box, lock the car and give a code to a family member, friend etc who can then use the Volvo app on their phone to open the doors and use the car as a "guest".
@@derbscott2687 That's not right. I was in contact with Volvo Cars here in Sweden, you should definitely have two black keys and one orange key. It doesn't matter if it's Europe, USA or any other market. Three keys are standard. Contact your car dealer and talk to them. Send an e-mail to Volvo Cars Sweden, here in Gothenburg, they will help you.
I'm intrigued by your comment about 3 keys. I'm in UK and I waited six months (Sept 21 to Jan 22 for my XC40 R-Design. There are some changes I wasn't expecting from the model I test drove. There's no R-Design designation anywhere (boot/trunk or side rear panels; no R-Design steering wheel designation. And definitely only TWO keys, 1 black and 1 orange. I feel I've been shortchanged, or perhaps because of chip shortage and covid situation Volvo have been cutting corners and cutting down specs? I feel rather short changed. I feel I could have saved thousands by buying the Momentum and getting someone to spray the roof black!
Unless they changed the suspension and steering tuning for 2022, this is the first review that I've seen that doesn't mention that the XC40's ride is a bit too firm for its segment and that the steering is vague.
So the XC40 actually has a setting where you can change the steering feel in the infotainment (make it more or less responsive). A lot of reviews don't show this and possibly that's new or they weren't aware of it. As far as ride quality, I find that it absorbs bumps fairly well (probably not best in class, but still pretty smooth). Note I came from a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited so everything feels smooth to me. :)
@DUNYADAN BIR INSAN Here in Sweden it is called "Interior Lighting, level 2" I have no idea what this feature is called abroad. I am sure you will get help if you e-mail or visit a Volvo dealer where you live.
@DUNYADAN BIR INSAN You should be able to get this feature as an extra option called "The Lighting package", also in the Inscription and in the Momentum Advanced. And of course in R-design.
I wouldn’t buy this car again. As an owner half the features don’t work as expected. The whole ownership experience has been less than desirable and not what you would expect from a higher end brand. The whole technology behind the car is very immature, I would go with another brand.
@@mnapier1142 Apple or Android Car Play is still missing. When I first accepted delivery on the car Satellite radio did not work, nor did the charging app. I had to go to the dealer for a day in order to get updates. Mind you the car had 258 miles on it and I spent a day at the dealer. The car isn't even smart enough to pause bluetooth when you use that for audio so it just chimes in over whatever your listening too. The Google voice attendant is almost impossible. It drives awesome so you get that, but really all the electric cars are probably rockets like this.
Picked up an identical 2022 R-Design last month with the same options (paint, HK stereo +21" rims) except the advanced package. Absolutely love it.
Awesome SUV! Congrats!

Thanks for the in depth review. I believe the XC40 does come with ambient lighting.
This model is my favorite too

Sorry mate but in the U.S. you only get 1 black & 1 orange key fob…at least that’s all I was given with my 2021 XC40 I purchased last year.

@@robert4you thanks for that info…I’m going to contact my dealership about the third key that I should have been given

Very thorough review, thank you. Loved this review. And was helpful.
Glad it helped! 😁
Great review. Like all the details. Exactly the info I was looking for before purchasing.

@@neil9044 Thanks for the clarification.
Guys, I'm planing to buy Bmw X3 or Xc40 (I know they're in different classes) Which is more comfort in your opinion?
Waiting for mine B3 in december!
Does it have ambient light?
Yes, you can get it in the "interior lighting package". And it's really nice too.

i fail to see the superiority of the xc60 if you put aside a little more trunk space.
nothing that can justify the price "upgrade"
back to 2003 with that look pal.
storage space behind the cup holders is a garbage can
That spoiler at rear makes it a dirty window. Always needs cleaning and the squeegee has to be the right size
Not liking the spoiler Volvo
Hi does the volvo come with keyless remote start?
Yes
Compared with Toyota Tacoma

Can you be specific on which features don’t work as expected?
