Great overview! The only thing I don’t like is that the climate control buttons disappear from the screen in some modes, and the fan speed is buried in a secondary menu. I CONSTANTLY adjust the fan for noise & comfort. I could also do without the automatic wipers-those always startle me when they come on. My nervous system thinks it’s a car or deer crashing into me out of nowhere
No themes, only Bass and Treble in the sound options, massive downgrade from my original T3. Please be aware of the High Performance sound system is only Bass and Treble, no fade, equaliser or balance.
@@theylive1999 xc40 b3p core 2023, there's not even a balance so the sound is one sided when driving, only front and rear as an option. Flagged this up to Volvo and they said that the High Performance specification was down graded to make way for Google play. There not even a head light tilt dial. A massive difference to the T3 I previously had. Please check your spec, high performance means equaliser etc but I have not got this.
Hi Thanks for your informative video. I bought my new Volvo XC40 B3 Core mild hybrid ( the basic version) 2022 petrol automatic a few days ago and i wonder whether this model comes with heated seats I appreciate your comments. Thanks
Hi Saeid, thanks for your comment. The new model year 2024 XC40 Core would come with heated front seats as standard. Any previous core model before this would not. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment. The car is silver dawn metallic and the interior is City block textile grey melange. This interior is standard on the core and plus models.
i keep hearing that android auto is not available anymore, so how would i connect my android phone to the system, say to play some music off my android phone for example?
You would sign into the car with your Google account that you use for your android phone and all your apps, settings, music etc will sync/move over to the cars system automatically…
Thanks!
Thank you! Your review was excellent, Can you show where you can see the odometer readings?

what colour XC 40?
do these new xc40s have ambient lighting with colour changing options? If so, does the rear passenger doors include it?
They do, but honestly you can barely tell. Regardless of what color I set it to, it all looks the same to me haha

Sound system ONLY COMES with bass and Treble ! Shocked when I discovered this in my XC40
which version you have?

Hi there. Can you please share some info regarding fuel consumption for XC40 B3?
thankyou, what exterior colour and seat material & colour option is shown here?
Thank you for your comment. The car is silver dawn metallic and the interior is City block textile grey melange. This interior is standard on the core and plus models.

Bluetooth? As everyone did before Android auto existed

Can you no longer turn off the stop / start function?
Why would you buy the hybrid then? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the Hybrid?
Thank you for your comment. The stop/start function will always be on and cannot be "turned off". Thanks, James
