Thank you Bobby for your depth review. I’m young family with 1 baby. I booked fusion red and my loan approved yesterday. I’m so happy and i can’t wait it deliver on March 2019. Afif, Melaka.
@@JohnsonLuvie123 hi bro. My milage already 102K since I bought on March 2019. Never ever give me problem. The performance is excellent. Trust me. I travel much with my little family since we bought it. Now I have 2 kids and coming soon 3. N my XC40 is no longer be my family car, only my wife use it to work. I can tell you XC40 is the best for family with max of 2 kids. U can ask me more if u have in your mind.
Thank you for this detailed review. I know these cars are not in the same class but can you please do a comparison video between the Volvo Xc40 and the Mazda CX-5. I would really appreciate it!
Bobby, I booked the xc40 andgot my loan approved in January after watching two of yours and Kon's review on it. The only concern is that the waiting period for the xc40 most likely will take more than 6 months..
Good very detailed report. Your analytical style is very good. Unless you jump from one Volvo model to the other ie. Car tester, what difference does it make if the panel is shared?
But I'm just wondering is it worth the upgrade against the CX5? I'm referring to driving experience, comfort, safety features altogether into consideration. I'm just thinking XC40 as a strong consideration to me because of it being very nice interiorly and driving experience + comfort (as mentioned) in your video and of course the badge.
Bobby, you have awsome reviewing skills. I just enjoyed some of yours now. I am planning to have CUV for my wife and It would be either volvo XC40 with 1.3L 3-cylinder petrol T3 (the only trim that will be available in my country Egypt! And the other car is Peugeot 3008 1.6L Allure. Would you think that volvo should loose because of the smaller unpredictable engine or will it still be the best option? Your opinion please
hi.. just want to ask... i watched video u drove A250 amg... im so interested by the A250 looking but on the other side the xc40 have many superior things compare to A250 as well.. so i want to hear about your opinion about these 2 cars... i was so confused to opt one of them.. tq
Been 1 year for me.. no issues whatsoever. Brilliant car in its class, still is for me at the price point. Got the full patrol T5. Did a drive to Desaru from KL, very comfortable drive, good power. Autonomous driving works like a charm. No regrets whatsoever
Hey bobby what do you think ? Here’s my opinion I think Volvo should bring in the lower spec such as momentum with lower power figures and lower price ofcourse I really hope Volvo can do it for the low spec ckd for under 200k or early 200k what do you think :) cheers
nah those who are aftering a bargain premium car will also mean it's their first time buying a premium car, and they'll automatically go for the safer choice of BMW/Mercs ...
@@BobbyAngmalaysia ahh glad to have your opinion since u owned both Volvo and mini car before, asking this coz recently my parents wanna get a stylish European car(first time buying European car), so we are considering these two since they come very close in terms of pricing(no matter used/new) and both are unique in their own ways, just that now we are trying to figure out the maintenance cost for Volvo, I heard maintaining a mini would be fairly affordable, not sure about new generation volvo tho
It is a very nice car. Love the design even though that 2 tone paintjob has appeared before on the Renault Captur. I'd wait for the PHEV version assuming the govt still gives benefits if they are CKD. The XC40 is probably even a better car per Ringgit Malaysia than the XC60? You guys should do a comparo of XC60 vs XC40. I know Mat Watson has done it, but that was in the UK, where buyers can get incentives when buying a car through a car buying platform like Carwow, but not here. Thanks for detailed review.
Value of course XC40 bro. It produces the power equivalent to a GLC300, it's RM100k cheaper to buy, and it has full suit of advanced safety features that the GLC250 doesn't have. The GLC has a larger boot and comfier second row that's it. The XC40 also out handles the GLC. But i have to say the GLC still looks so classy and luxurious after all these years.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia so ur means if need classy n luxurious just glc but if value car of course XC40 ... but i just scaret second hand value ...in volvo ... how ever tq ur reply ^_^
Handling cannot, build quality cannot. Technology cannot. But everything else the 3008 is really good. Rear seat back comfier too. I prefer the 5008 now. Same car, extra 2 seats, proper 3 seat 2nd row.
All controls is through the touchscreen infotainment system. What if the unit fails especially after warranty? The whole SUV would be inoperable and repairs expensive.
Logistically challenging but i can already tell you that if I were to put aside selling price, the Tiguan would've been last place even though it handles. Weak points would be the 7 speed DSG when compared to the other two's transmission. Engine no doubt XC40's pulls strong. In terms of the drive, which includes how the drivetrain pairing works, sound proofing, handling, highway cruising, stop go traffic etc, XC40 is best, and last would be Tiguan (even tho it handles great) design wise, Tiguan is last too when compared, both interior and exterior. But Tiguan's packaging was done really well too. All in, if it were my personal preference, it would be Volvo > Mazda > Volkswagen
Thanks for the comment. For ppl looking to move up from Cx 5/crv/Tiguan would said at current the XC40 is the choice. X1 I think it will be upgrade soon as the 3 series is change to G20 from F30.
Thanks of the review. Have watched both the xc40 and xc60 review by you, now having a dilemma 255k xc40 r-design vs 289k for the xc60 momentum. Size wise definitely the xc60 due to 2+3 family however in terms of feature and worth perspective which would you recommend? Just need a final decisive factor / push before making the choice. Cheers.
Nope, because T8s have tax incentive and T6 wont. So if they brought in the T6, it will be costlier than the T8. The XC90 T8 is similar in price with the RR Sport globally. And the XC60 T6 is similar to an X3 xDrive40i, so if it comes in, expect at least RM450k ... no market at all
Bobby, u said this is daily use car. I will get my XC40 this week & i planning to make it my daily use. The thing is we talking about maintenance, depreciation bla bla bla. Malaysian prefer to use Japanese car as their daily use. What is ur opinion?
Fuel economy doesn't seem great in the xc40 also if I was to buy (R design pro) model, should i buy it without sports suspension and opt for the standard suspension that's on the inscription model.for a more comfortable ride or leave it the way it is.
Ours had the sports suspension and i find volvo's sports suspension setup isnt super aggressive and totally liveable. But of course different regions may vary.
If you love performance, GLA45. Because it comes with tight space, bumpy ride, noisy cabin etc. The Volvo feels like a one grade higher product in terms of the interior and all. But the driving enjoyment of a GLA is unbelievable for a driving enthusiasts
XC40 is a handsome looking compact suv, but I reckon it should be a 2 door coupe (like evoque) rather than odd looking 4 door. pretty tight and small rear door/mirror. not very comfy at the back, or perhaps they design it only for kids, dogs and cats
Thank you for this great review. But I'm a bit confused. I don't hear you complain about the lag of Tiguan in your super in depth review: ruclips.net/video/k971wzIrY4w/видео.html ? I'm choosing between the Tiguan and XC40 and backseat comfort is important since I have a teen son. Valuable to hear your opinions about the XC40 seat indeed. It seems the roomy Tiguan is the one to choose but it would be good to hear your comment about the dual clutch lag and why you don't seem to be bothered by that i your super in depth interview.
Nice car but too bad less than 10 Volvo dealers in the country. A couple thousand of new Volvos sold every year and that means service nightmare is inevitable.
Many say they're not happy with federal auto but many say they are pleased with the smaller dealers (sisma, iroll etc) as for bmw, i think they are more established, has better systems and protocols etc but whichever brand you sire have crazy customers complaining just about anything

bobby review still one of the best. very user-friendly and easy to understand.
Excellent review, Bobby! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
Great review Bobby as always. Thumbs up!
Convincing enough I booked a white one for my wife on Monday.
So why Volvo didnt just put an adjustable rear bench like most SUVs. Then you have the best of both world.
Dont care about the back seat. I just want the XC40 all by myself 🤪😂
Hi Bobby, XC 40 vs forester? In terms of handing, comfort, ride, safety, which will you choose?
XC40 is premium level.. Of course XC40..but see the price gap la..
nice review...like the way you compared the cars with the ones that appear on street. Is it worth it having the T5 over the T4. Cheers from Colombia.
Yes, the T5 is lovely. Thanks!
Thank god we have Bobby 😎

Maybe it will be less than 6 months .... VCM usually give longer 'promised' time and achieve it sooner
@@BobbyAngmalaysia Thanks, really hope so Bobby!
It's such a funky approach from Volvo.
The seats are spring loaded. The buttons are on the rhs
Good very detailed report. Your analytical style is very good. Unless you jump from one Volvo model to the other ie. Car tester, what difference does it make if the panel is shared?
Great review as always. The back seat is a problem for families I suppose, so 3008 is a more convinient choice

When you accelerated, the noise is so loud. Engine noise and and outside noise
Should have 360 camera for this price point. Anyways Bobby u forgot to mention comparing with 3008 for appearance and ride comfort.
This or countryman 2.0s?
Awesome review , ive got a vlog with Volvo this Monday and i am watching yours to get tips hehe
Hi Bobby, if you have an opportunity, please review the 308GTi
To all XC40 owners: How's the car doing after a year? all good,? any issues so far? Do you regret buying it?

delivery expected Jan 2019 for Malaysian buyers?
Such a beautiful SUV 🔥
No grip handle at the back? Is it fine without those?
Bobby, I experienced the Xc40 recently and find that the rear door opening is a bit small. Do you feel the same thing? Same issue with the new BMW X3
Yes! Forgot to point that out. But noticed the same with some recent cars too.
That’s the first comment wifey have when she saw the car. Should make it mandatory for Kon to do the baby chair test for all new cars. 😂

I always wanted to get the xc 40 but was brainwashed into buying the s90 t8 inscription plus...which is more enjoyable to drive in your opinion Bobby?
bro the S90 has even more comfy rear seats than the XC90. :) and it's 407hp and 4.7 seconds to 100 kmh .... same as Lamborghini Diablo .....
The Forester XT is a bit in Singapore now for the old bengs, do a review for us bro @Bobbyang
driven 6 Gt review plzz
Nice ride along the streets of my hometown 😬
Bobby, is the XC40 a good family car? For 2 teenage kids, travelling frequently, etc?
Again, the seat back is rather upright just like the Macan and the previous CX5.
Volvo forget about the booster seats in XC40, maybe due to the platform issue. Hopefully the CKD version can be included.
So do you mean the back seat will be horrible for adults for long rides?
totally ok because it is spacious. just that you better get a neck pillow if you fell asleep
Hi Bobby, GLC 250（ 2017） vs XC 40, which one would you choose in term of value?
Value of course XC40 bro. It produces the power equivalent to a GLC300, it's RM100k cheaper to buy, and it has full suit of advanced safety features that the GLC250 doesn't have.

@bobby can 3008 compete against xc40? Or is it un easy win like with x1
Handling cannot, build quality cannot. Technology cannot. But everything else the 3008 is really good. Rear seat back comfier too. I prefer the 5008 now. Same car, extra 2 seats, proper 3 seat 2nd row.
This vs. Merc GLC 200? 🤔
The GLC is more comfortable thats it. Very empty specs for the GLC200. Slow as well with only 184hp.
Is the Xc40 semi auto pilot similar to the Honda Sensing?
Way more advance. It can detect if a car might hit you from front or back and steer you if space is available or safe
All controls is through the touchscreen infotainment system. What if the unit fails especially after warranty? The whole SUV would be inoperable and repairs expensive.
Hi Bobby, X1 vs XC 40, which one would you choose in term of value?
Definitely XC40. 50hp more, better handling, better interior, better specs, better safety.
