Yes, I enjoyed the video a lot. I really like the pacing. Not talking to fast or shooting bullet points about the car or certain topics. I appreciate this. I was SO close to buying a Volvo. Have been looking at them for a couple of years. To me it seems like their loosing ground with their original customers and their wishes / demands.
Like the honest review! Thanks, and the range suks… I have an electric XC40 as well, but I would not do that again.
Sad to see this one (in a great spec) go! But, looking forward to your next Swede, as I'm pretty sure you'll lov(e) that one a lot as well!! 😉
Yeah, it's always sad to let my cars go. Wish I could keep them all 😂 Building a little Volvo museum
Best review ever!👍🙏👏🇸🇪
Thanks again for your honest review of real life experiences with the XC40... You never mince words and keep it real... Stay safe, Tim
Glad you enjoyed it 👌
I keep cars 10+ years. Currently driving a 2013 BMW X3 with 54,000 US miles. Being retired considering the EX30 as my next car. I like classic designs that age well. No real need for AWD or rocket ship speed. No doubt you enjoyed some beautiful vehicles. Good luck with your next vehicle.
Thanks 😎 Maybe I'll eventually keep cars longer. Now I just want to enjoy as many as possible. Temptations are around every corner and I'm weak as heck 😅
Great video as always Kristian, I unfortunately returned my lease XC40 R design last year and now have a Hyundai Kona EV. Unfortunately this is down to costs recently having a taxi driver drive into my car had another XC40 recharge, oh heck what a pleasure it was to drive that again. Pure bliss, the experience is so much nicer. Even now having a Hyundai Kona EV I long to have a Volvo again. So in maybe another 3 years I hope to maybe have another Volvo, I hope it would be possible for a EX60 when they make this or Polestar 3.
Oh the word you was looking for, in English is lint roller 😉
Understandable 👌 I'm also really excited for the upcoming EX60.. sadly still some time away.. Lint roller it was 😅 thanks
The black editions look really good! I wish I could get my xc40 recharge emblems changed to black ones 😍
That's actually fairly easy. Several companies sell black emblems
"I like colours, and as you see, I like Volvos" Sadly they don't come hand in hand...😂😢. Thanks for all your videos and looking forward to what is coming.
Lint roller is exactly the word you were looking for😀. The car interior will be what you make it. Our blond XC60 started off with our 4week old baby and the car and child are almost 4 years now. The worst state it has been in is when we've had to hand it to the Volvo garage for maintenance. They are the filthiest bunch around that don't clean up after themselves! If the car is stuck with them for a few days there will be long term damage from their greasy paws and pens that requires parts to be changed.... If you know how to look after a car, a light interior is no problem, even with a filthy toddler A few wipes and a bit of cleaning is no problem. Just don't hand it to a Volvo garage in the UK...
Yeah that's a very good point these days 😂 Gotta get cars wrapped since Volvo can't provide.
Yeah your definitely spot on. Won't be a problem with bright interiors if you know how too take care of it
10 Volvos in 12 years wow 😊
Yeah.. Times flies
La til enda en Volvo i samlingen for omtrent en mnd siden, en Volvo EX 30 twin performance Ultra i grå, med indigo seter. Angrer ikke et sekund! Så ikke på andre biler en gang! Skulle in med min 2018 Volvo V60 Twin engine D6 spesial editon til Volvo og så det blikkfanget. Begge er fantastiske biler som gir så mye kjøreglede, da du kjøper Volvo vet du alltid hva du får.
Et tips som vi vurderte var bil abonnement fra Volvo. Du kan få biler med forsikring for 5-6 mnd med lav kostnad og hyppige bytter!
Apparently they do not offer this option in the UK. Had to order plain black interior.
I said goodbye to my XC40 BEV in January and jumped ship to a Mercedes EQE. Best decision I’ve done in a while!
I'll bet.. Have looked at the EQE several times.. Really amazed by the interior sensation.
@@volvo_kristian it’s another level and I love the smooth ride with the airmatic suspension
The EQE looks great on the inside, but -to me- not very good looking on the outside.
My brother have a EQA AMG and claims 160Wh/km in consumtion in -12ºC so it seems Mercedes have done a lot of work on winter consumption. He have just been on a trip to Italy with it with no other problems than Italians looking at charges as free parking...
The lease on my XC40 Twin EV ends this year. A new one is nearly £200 a month more. It has been excellent and I'd have another .. but that cost is a holiday! Agree with your summary and I've ordered the replacement - a Renault Scenic e-tech Iconic. at less than I pay now on the lease. Main reason is the Google Android Automotive, but I will lose the performance which is fun in parts but Renault quote 379 miles WLTP and is a better car for me than the EX30.
Totally understand.. They are getting quite expensive, and the competition are hard
Hi did your XC40 recharge twin get the 100km+ high frequency vibration that Volvo are trying to sort out from wheel+pedal?
No, have never been bothered by that.
Didn't you own the Polestar 2 BST aswell or am I just high😂
Yeah, but was just like 4-5 days before using the regret policy, so didn't include it..
So is there a BMW Kristian channel in your future?
Hehe 😂 Depends what Volvo pulls out of the hat later this year
I do not agree, that the ugly thing is the price with this car. Maybe in Norway it‘s different to other countries. I my Country the EX/XC/C/EC40 has better value for a car compared with VW, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Polstar and other cars with this spec and dynamics. Maybe Tesla 3/ Y is cheaper and more efficient, but has it’s downsides. Maybe BYD Seal is a good alternative, but different, since it’s a Sedan. However- I love my C40 Twin Ultimate Mj24.
Actually, the Winter-50% is not that unique for EV. I now have a MG ZS EV and in cold winter driving the 8 km to work I get about 50% of the range as I would have in summer. All my gas cars I had over the years was about the same, when it is cold and you need to get some temperature up to de-ice it you will get 50% of the range on a tank of gas. Maybe if a had a garage this would be slightly better but that would be better on the MG too. And maybe if I had longer driving distance to work this would be slightly in advantage of a gas car.
XC40 is not that average, nothing is more average than a Model Y or 3, it is imply impossible to drive anywhere without meeting a huge number of them, at least where I live north of Bergen/Norway. So what is not, the MG Cyberster of course, but winter is coming... Maybe the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N ?
Definitely. The 50% winter reduction aren't unique for XC40. That's a more EV drawback. It's just something I generally hate with EV's. There's hardly any difference on regular ICE cars..
Well I feel I'm seeing XC40's everywhere here in Oslo. That's why it's kinda generic. And average.. However the Tesla 3/Y that's like mosquitoes.. Literally everywhere. Often they bundle up when driving in queues. Especially the white ones 😂 like a bad infection.. or nightmare
@@volvo_kristian At least in my experience there was a huge difference on my Opel Zafira (now replaved with an EV) that used about 50% more gas at -5 to -15 in winter when used to/from work. I had to to de-ice the car and get enough heat to get rid of moisture and with just a short drive, just over 7 km, this ehating part is a large part of the total energy used. But if you have a long drive to/from work the extra consumption would is a lot less
What about the Polestar 2? Would be great to see it compared to xc40…looks better than the c40
If I remember 23:36 correctly.... Kristian already had one....
I'm actually a huge fan of the Polestar 2. Got much love for it. Considered one now actually, but once again communication with Polestar, and also some of their systems, made it fall thru.. However the cars are great
