- Don't Buy the 2020 Volvo XC40 Without Watching This Review. This 2020 Volvo XC40 review will feature the first Volvo I have actually tried. I was truly impressed with the 2020 Volvo XC40, it makes for a great city car with great style that new Volvos are known for. This particular Volvo XC40 is the top of the line T5 inscription model with AWD.

Let me know your thoughts on the 2020 Volvo XC40. *ALSO I APOLOGIZE FOR THE AUDIO POPS IN THIS VIDEO I ADJUSTED A SETTING ON MY CAMERA AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT DO THIS AGAIN* If you are an owner of this vehicle, let me know how it has been holding up. If you want to know what car I work on next, follow on insta @exhaustsports or become a patreon member. Thank you again for stopping by.
Brought mine in August and love it! Named her DREAM! With such a crappy year, purchasing this car has definitely helped! 👍🏽
in the settings, you can set it so the heated seats and steering wheel turn on automatically when the temperature drops below a certain amount, so its always on when you start up if it's cold!
That's a good setting to know
I’m thinking of getting the XC40 R-Design and knowing this makes me feel better about choosing it!
Thanks for saying you would prefer 18” wheels. I have a fully loaded Inscription ordered but stayed with 18” wheels and have stressed about that decision since I left the dealer. I even called the next day to change to 19in and was advise to stay with 18in. I live in a city with many potholes and rough roads. Makes me feel better about the choice. Delivery in the next couple weeks, ordered Dec 02, 2019, Denim Blue with Amber.
Haha thanks so much for stopping by. Yea def don’t stress about that makes the vehicle ride so much better. Back in the day cars came with 15” wheels and that was normal so pretty much every car rode good. Anyways, massive congrats on your purchase let me know when you get it!
Love your video! Great review! I'm thinking about purchasing a 2020 XC40 within the next few weeks and I'm feeling better about the overall design and drive of the car.
I also bought the same trim and model 6 months ago. Love it! The shift knob is actual crystal, by the way. Orrefors Swedish crystal. All in all, love it way more than my Mercedes!
Congrats! I absolutely love driving this car it is so rewarding and I am very happy for you. Thanks again for sharing.
Had my T5 First Edition for 17 months,being the FE it’s fully loaded and I absolutely love it. I’m returning about 28 mpg from mainly town journeys which I’m pleased at . Good review for those thinking of buying!.
Nice that is awesome David. Thanks again for stopping by my friend!
I just bought a used Volvo Selekt XC40 D4 AWD R-Design 2018 two days ago. Have read a ton of reviews and watched a bunch of videos before I decided on purchasing and I sadly missed this review of yours. However, having the XC40 for couple of days makes me competent of comparing the 2018 and 2020 edition and it is nice to see that all the good things from 2018 are still there while the new features are not something that will make me regret purchasing the 2018 version or make me sell this and switch to 2020 :)
Love your comment on rims and wheels. Mine had 20” alloys in the dealership, but I switched them for 19” with both summer and winter sets of tyres. The car feels softer yet still not too soft to miss the excitement of driving the curvy roads. I do also like to drive in ECO mode around the city because gears shift more in ways I would usually shift them manually.
Lovely car to drive and especially to enjoy being in the cabin. And yes, Harman Kardon sounds great!
Thanks for the great video yet again. I think that Volvo's lineup these days looks better than in prior years and the XC40 is a strong competitor to other small crossovers. I am also waiting desperately for an LS500h video.
Yes new Volvos are def very nice looking and legitimate competition. I too am waiting for it haha, of course that's the car that gets rear ended out of all the press cars. It will be coming tho they are saying this week
Thanks so much for your review of the XC 40 inscription model, I've been looking at this model in the exact same color and engine you reviewed. However, I don't recall you talking about the cabin quality being quiet or not nor the reliability rating of the Volvo brand
No need for the touch screen, when your car accepts voice commands like "I am cold!" or "I am warm!" to adjust the heating/cooling...
It has voice command?
@@holamoco Yes, of course! Works pretty fine... Especially there a several ways for the same result: "I am cold!" "Increase temperature!" "Set temperature to ... degree!"
@@holamoco 🤣
I was actually just looking up this vehicle the other day because of that superbowl contest they are having. Pretty nice car. Good job on the review as always. I noticed a little bit of clipping on the audio here and there but not too bad.
I have not been keeping up with any of the Superbowl stuff I actually totally forgot about it haha not much of a sports person to be honest but it is very cool that Volvo is being apart of it. Yea I tried to adjust some settings on my camera so I will test it out and see if that helps. Thanks again for stopping by!
Just caught this review after I bought same car except a 2021. Love it! For in town driving but also open road. I packed ALL MY STUFF for a month on the road and my 100 pound dog AND my cat and who could believe how much I got into vehicle?! The hidden cargo space was great and I took full advantage of it. I have not even read owners manual yet so I greatly appreciate you letting me know I could change the steering mode 🤔 this is my car same color and going to show vid to my friends. Thanks!
I enjoyed this review because unlike many car reviewers, you talked about what it is like just drive around town the way most people who would use the car would drive it. I like that you said sport is too aggressive. As long as it accelerates well enough to merge or pass big trucks on the highway, great. And people don't drive around corners like they're on a track. So, the relaxing part of the drive is key. Also, it feels refined and solid. Less expensive cars ride well and perform like it, but there is something different in how this vehicle feels and I think that you articulate that in your review.
Hey thanks so much Benjamin thats exactly what I wanted to get across and I'm so happy you appreciated the review. Yes I absolutely loved this vehicle definitely worth it
Really nice review.
Wife purchased a 2021 T5 R Design
1 month ago. Beautiful car, super impressed with every aspect
Good choice!
Great review. 👏👏
Test drive one. Loved the looks and the little touches. Ordered one July ‘20. One week later I find out all the little touches I like are removed. No twin exhausts, no embossing on leather, C-Pillar and tread plates, no paddle shifters on the R Design and more. Going to cancel my order.
Usually a mid life update is an upgrade. Seems for Volvo and the XC40 on the MY21 version, it’s a downgrade.
So it’s another X1 for me with the new Upgrades. 😐
I have a xc40 t5 r design fully loaded 20in wheels .. good video 👍
Nice massive congrats its been one of my most favorite cars in the luxury segment
Good review!
It looks like a comfortable ride for sure. Great video!!
Thanks brother I appreciate you like always. Start uploading again!
@@MeynMotorGroup which is more solid and robust
This volvo vs subaru forester ?
I have the Volvo xc40 r-design in white and I love it!!!! Such a good looking car. I like that it’s small but also don’t at times (when I’m in the back with my baby, it’s a little cramped)
Nice awesome ride for sure. I do def like the size of this vehicle inside out but I can see it being a bit constricting if you have a baby seat in the back. Thanks again for stopping by
And what about the maintenance cost?
You turn it in once the warranty is up
I own a 2019 r-design and absolutely love it. Going with the full ev version when it's released.
Nice that is awesome it really is a great little car.
And what about the maintenance cost?
@@br1almeida it's a lease, no maintenance cost. As soon as the lease is up, I'm going for the electric version
If car manufacturers I really intent on having next to no buttons in the cabin, they should put all them controls either in a heads up display or incorporate them into the driver’s active info display, which already uses steering wheel controls! You can ask the car to do it but some cars still have problems understanding regional dialects lol 😂
Don't like crossovers much but like this. Handsome car. Good size.
I agree! This is a very “appropriate” crossover not really sure the proper way to describe it but I do like it haha. Thanks so much for stopping by
I got mine yesterday. Still look through inside technology but I notice there is no sunglasses container and the backseat can’t push down so can’t put anything long there as a suv 🥺 but love it overall
I've had the exact model advised in video for 5 months, I'm enjoying it. The two issues, you pointed out are not a concern for me, however I could use more truck space.... I will upgrade to the 60 or 90 in a couple of years.
Your review was great.
Couple of things...
The gearshift is 100% Crystal from Sweden and it lights up at night.
The doors and the floor board both have light at night.
That’s great to hear! And yes I am aware of the crystal haha enjoy the ride my friend
And what about the maintenance cost?
Nice video mate!!
a) what do you think about t3 model?
b) I am thinking of buying an xc40 in the near future but I am skeptical as if Volvo is going to present the new model the next year or two as it is already out there quite a while.
Thanks
Hi my friend so this is the only model I have tried but I hope to try other models soon
GREAT move on reviewing the Inscription model! So many reviews of the pointless Rdesign on the net, so well done for being the standout and reviewing a relevant model.
Oh haha thank you my friend but I just review what the manufacturer gives me I actually don't have control on what trim I get. They usually send fully loaded models though to showcase all the features. I'm glad the inscription model was right for you
I purchased the XC40 T5 inscription. I’m not a car guy but I was looking for a compact suv that can park itself since it’s difficult to parallel park in LA. One thing I’m finding difficult is refueling. It just stops refueling and I had to slowly refuel, again and again. Anyone have the same issue? I wonder whether you have to position the nozzle at a certain angle. It’s already all the way down.
What's your thought on the maintenance cost?
Love this car
Same it's very good
It should be noted that all Volvos come with working indicators unlike BMW.
What’s the reliability like anyone have any issues ?
Mine is coming mid September 2020. It is being built in Belgium as we speak. I went for the Inscription in premium metallic white with red leather seats. Why the hell not?
Beautiful spec! Now that's gonna be a nice XC40 I'm very excited for you
@@MeynMotorGroup I went for automatic petrol and less impressive engine and 2WD. I own a powerful S60 D5 diesel manual that chews the miles, but I am getting this XC40 through Motability for my wife. I had to go to a dealership two hours away from home to get the car and do not want to share names of the offending dealerships here. It seems the dealerships can be quite inconsistent in the pricing of extras and treatment of customers. Volvo need to sort out the dealerships: three of them were a disaster and I am not the only one complaining. One of them told me to go get a Peugeot when they tried to get me to pay 6k downpayment!!! another was so rude to us after making us drive 30 mile round trip to them. Just so you know I ended up getting it from in my personal experience a great Volvo dealership: Waylands in Oxford - I remembered them as once they had been so attentive to me 10 years ago with my S60. One must remember that Volvo already had a fantastic engine, the D5, decades ago an amazing engine tough as nails. Diesels had small problems after 13 years of use, here and there (clutches, hand break disk, sensor rubbing sending the engine into limp mode, inter-cooler hole on diesel models, clutter inside diesel engine due to the over-engineering on diesel engines required to meet emissions: you need to clean out the engine after 15 years to get back the rocket feel as new!) but overall the cars are far better than German cars (perhaps only Mercedes might match them). One can imagine that new cars today should be even better. I have an S60 now for 15 years that just keeps going and going! It has 165k miles but I met a guy with one that had 300k miles. Amazing.
I test drove the 40 & 60 today and came home researching these. Love the review. I’m a 30 yr old and I just want a really smooth ride and Volvo has the best smoothest ride without a doubt. The “Lightness” and smooth feel made me wonder why I never checked out Volvo in the past. I too, didnt like that everything is touch screen. Besides that, great compact suv and the 60 is great too but I like the uniqueness personality of the 40’s interior. Interesting materials on dash and doors, unique gear shifter. Great navigation on the mph screen.
I'm humbled to hear that my friend! Yea absolutely love Volvos now. This is the first new Volvo I have driven and I wasn't sure what to expect but I love how different this feels from the German and Japanese cars. Highly recommended car for sure. Thanks again for stopping by
How much bigger is the 40 vs the 60? Also is the cabin spacious for a tall person
@@stocks4bt The 40 and 60 to me weren’t that big of a difference. The XC40 really doesn’t feel like a compact SuV like say a Mazda CX30. It feels big so going a step up to the XC60 wasn’t as noticeable in cabin size. If I had to choose, I would go with 40 and save some $. I wound up getting a Lincoln Corsair and a Mazda CX30 Turbo this past month in NY. My backup choices would have been an Alfa Romeo Stilvio and this Volvo XC40.
Just bought one. Great car.
Massive congrats my friend this is such a good car
Hope you’re enjoying it.
Going for a test drive this week. 🤞
Just bought myself a D4 AWD R-Design and I love every minute of being in it! :)
Hi Gregg, how have been ur experience so far ??
Is it reliable like honda and toyota?
Think the guys at Orrefors would be offended to have their crystal described as fake! Great rewiev though.
It very much is real crystal. Made by the well known Swedish company Orrefors.
That’s what it says on the knob. You’re right it’s probably real just feels like a bathroom shower knob
Really enjoyed your review. Please review the Peugeot 3008 soon. Would really appreciate your opinion of it.
I own a 19 T5 fully loaded inscription XC40 with Polestar optimization. Thirsty! Thirsty! Thirsty! A 20-25 mile run to work will do you nearly a quarter of your petrol tank. It drinks like a V6 engine with the “advantage” of having less power than a V6 engine. The petrol station will love you for buying this car. Otherwise it’s a fabulous car.
If you care about the ride and noise then stick with 18-19” wheels. Mine has 20 and it’s decent. It makes the car sound like a skateboard on most roads.
Nice beautiful car my friend and yea it does like petrol quite a bit lol. I do agree it is a great car otherwise. I did have one viewer who told me they were getting good fuel economy in their XC40 but they must have been driving extremely conservatively
I bought it without seeing your review... now what?
Good for you
This Volvo resembles the Nissan kicks in a way. (Exterior wise) Interior wise it doesn't look bad at all. Very premium for the class
Lololol I actually know what you mean I was going to mention it but I forgot 😂 but yea as a whole I do like the looks
@@k819849 yup but it's good tho
i love Volvo because I have one to a xc90 the best Vehicle
Is this the turbocharged? Or is it supercharged? Is it the super-hybrid? God Volvo engines choices are confusing
Haha try all 3! That’s pretty crazy how they do that on top tier Volvo cars. This one is just Turbocharged tho 😂
that touch screen looks gross post extensive touching
Yea im not a fan of that
Nice review, but dude, stop saying 'dude' every 30 seconds. Quite annoying.
Review vehicles for their intended customer. Very few people will ever drive any Volvo like they stole it. It’s a small family hatch. They want to know how many people will fit in it, how much stuff you can fit in it, etc. Volvo have recently announced in Europe that they will be restricting all their vehicles to 112mph.
Ah you must be one of those that enjoy pulling out in front of me and doing 10 below the speed limit. Why do you people enthusiastically pull out just to get in others ways?
I find the Swedish touches funny considering they're Indian owned now, don't know why but Volvo have never really interested me and they still don't
Chinese owned* haha Geely owns them
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks for the correction I thought it was Tata Motors oh well :D
Tata bought the Jaguar Land Rover duo but I think they sold some shares off not sure tho
@@MeynMotorGroup Cool thanks
Great review Kevin and nice suv Definitely a car to lease. Long term, Volvos are generally expensive to maintain.
