- This is the Volvo XC40. Unlike most manufacturers, Volvo has gone with a fresh and different design for their latest small SUV, rather than simply making a more compact version of the XC60. But with the small SUV market being so saturated, can the XC40 hold its own against so much competition? Join Mat as he finds out in his latest in-depth review!

Hahaha Matt wrecking carbuyer, and their "crisps in glovebox" test. Absolutely savage.
Savage? 1£ bag of crisps? 😄
Volvo has never been this good before the Chinese taking ownership and yes XC40 is now manufactured in China as well #MadeInChina2025 🇨🇳
Fuck you self.
Volvo is the most underrated luxury brand
But, the most rated safety brand.
Not the most underpriced do
it's not luxury at all
@@teiro4145 how isnt it? IMO it's better than the x1...
@@123silentassassin xc40 is on the level between the x2 and x3
I love how he shits on carbuyer when he said the crisp test is stupid😂😂😂😂 love ya Matt
M
Why doesn't he like carbuyer?
@@itsme-sn5gi he used to work there as a car reviewer. Go on car buyers old vids and you'll see him. Idk what happened but I guess he got fired or something
@@crabrangoon2493 no he left carbuyer so he could join carwow when this channel first launched in 2016
Volvo cars are so goddamn well designed and just look so timeless.
I love how the explanaitions in carwow videos are always very fast and just long enough to get the idea. Like when Mat explains the hooks for the shoppingbags, he tells it, shows what it works like and throws aways the bag, boom next topic :) its a small detail but thats what makes me like these videos very much! good work!
"a dog scrathing its itchy bum" OMG that really cracked me up 😂
I won't lie, all your car reviews just puts a smile on my face. Keep it up🇿🇦
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Love the “swede” in the centre storage 😂
that 2:27 compartment is actually a small trashcan . you can remove that trashcan if it’s full with trash and put it again back there . very-very clever volvo
The coolest small SUV on the market right now.
I don't think so, those windows are trash
TheGetout04 you are trash.
@@vm6729 those windows too
so.. which car is better then?
Not quite, the peugeot 3008 is better and cheaper
Volvo is on a roll not a bad car in their whole line up
Ian Townsend and the XC90 is still the reigning god of safety
@121bham reliability ?! German cars ?!
Do you still live in nineties ?!
it is a bad car honestly. small, crampy, claustrophobic. Tiguan is miles better.
@@Berkay-xl4hu the Tiguan is the same size
@@Berkay-xl4hu Please explain to me how the XC40 is cramped
He completely mocked Rebecca Jackson from whatcar 😂😂👏👏😂
Aditya krishna where?
Well...you do know they used to work together
@@DimoBoychev when he brought up the banana thing....
ty
Rebecca who ?
I think we have to buy mat a new phone with wireless charging.
I Like Big Boost 😂😂😂
Haha
I think his gola shoes need to be a priority.
Retarded Pepe pretty much everyone. Your question does not make any sense. Because it's android (100 brands) against apple (1 brand). More than 70% of people are buying android nowadays (does not matter which brand) the other 20% or more are apple users. I'm an apple fan (i have 3 devices and i know the whole history of the company) but i'm facing the truth, android is all over the place nowadays.
@Retarded Pepe Me
Already booked my first Volvo thanks to this review!
2:25 is a tiny removable dustbin.
Just love carwow, matt is such a great presenter. Love the show guys keep up the great work 👍
Incredibly compact. Yet incredibly spacious. Solid. Well built. Stunning design. Love it.
Seriously considering it or the next generation S40. Thanks for the video.
XC60 and XC90 i reviewed are amazing. Thanks for showing me the xc40!
One of the beast formats and reviewers out there!! Thx Matt!
2:24 haha, storing a Swede in the centre console.....brilliant pun there!
I feel so stupid for missing that!
You stole Rebeccas banana!
Who's she?
@@shogunero3.6 the banana owner i guess
@@shogunero3.6 Another reviewer who he used to work with back on carbuyer. She now works for What Car and always demonstrates spaces with a banana in her reviews
Ahaha
@@porcini_boy lol ok
Thanks for all your videos; they're all entertaining and informative
Brilliant video Matt. Love the new Volvo XC40.
2:55 aww he misses Rebecca
It's sort of her trademark, she likes to fit bananas in weird storage bins :-D
@@AgentSmith911 kinky
6:12...best comparison ever. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dying. Dogs doing that indeed one of the most funniest things.
That doesn’t happen for USA models, you just have to take off the assist brakes
Nice review -James- Matt!
God I love Matt’s content. Watched every one at least twice.
2:27 that is a trash can and you can remove it
EDIT btw watch doug de muro's video about xc40 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly
Who's video? Never heard of him... 🤷
carwow
you dont say xD
Doug De Moron, you mean? :--D
7:38 ... "and I disregard them" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bravo Matt. Excellent review.
The carbuyer shoutouts are amazing
That middle storage is actually an onboard, removable bin :D
This is absolutely brilliant, the best car in its segment or dare I say best overall 'transportation device' currently on sale. Excellent styling, without bulbous proportions, very small overhangs, incredibly fresh, reasonably priced and appealing to people of all ages. It's not pretending to be a rugged off-roader or 'macho SUV', just a comfortable medium sized vehicle with a hatch, good ground clearance and easy ingress and egress.
®ioT it’s a 4 cylinder brick... settle down.
@@RohanIyer Not everyone dailys a Pagani. It's the first time in ages that a common, everyday car is exciting to look at and practical. It's not always about driving dynamics and performance. Grow up.
I agree. Am going to test drive one soon.
To be honest, its driving dynamics are pretty great for street driving. More than enough for most people.
Rohan Iyer Yeah, because everyone is looking for the quickest car on the market, right?
Awesome Video!🎥
Great stuff Carwow! Keep it coming (as you do) :) Any word on the xc40 plugin?
pity you had it in all black ... love the contrasting color options on this model!
Love the design inside out👍
Love the fact you dissed CarBuyer 😂
"This is where you store your banana! - Wrong channel..." You just made my day!
Great review once again. Mat has his own unique method of providing reviews that combine humour and extensive-thorough information. I wish you could make a review of the T3 3-cylinder engine as a more budget oriented one!
This car is an epitome of beauty as well as modernism
Congratulations for subscribers over 2M.
thank you sir for in depth review
The thing I look most forward to in a carwow review is the annoying bits and the most practical bits. Love your work Matt!
When you’re so early you can only watch in 360p
When you're so early you see this kind of comment
@@NuhanHidayat yeah, i know right
I'll explain...
XC90 = 1080p
XC60 = 720p
XC40 = 360p
@@Catalina._ 🤔
In fairness looking for a new company car atm the D4 will be great for me! but I learnt lots from Doug's video very informative. in saying this Matt's videos are always great!!
I like the little swede in the centre console pun 😂
You never mentioned anything about the orange interior lining. I feel like that is a pretty bold design choice to not mention. Loved the review!
Carwow, can you please incorporate in your videos, as a huge point, how much does annual service and upkeep cost. Huge point for buying a car. Especially those that know a bit about them !
Thank you!
I do still like this car, saw it at a dealers when my brother in law went to look at the XC60. It I was really impressed with its looks and solid build, it’s not too big for the UK either. When it’s time to buy a new car I’ll consider this, may have to go second hand though.
The reference to carbuyer videos with the crisps😂😂
Is a Wonderful Car, just got myself this month. thanks Mat and Carwow for the wonderful Review.
I have to say; this guy does the best car reviews on RUclips. Always honest and straight forward with a bit of humor. Much better then those reviews where they thank the dealership first which actually means you're watching an advertisement, not a review. Cheers guys!
Definitely one of the best looking suvs out there. If it was on my price range I would go for it at once.
Amazing review cool
Love our xc60 but might look at one of these in the future
Probably the coolest SUV ever
8:06 his face like in Scarface Toni Montana " its fine"
Brilliant review 👍
The little flap space in front of the wireless charging pad is a perfect size to fit the custom screen wipe cloth that Volvo includes.
i love auto pilot assist on volvo xc40
Great review, Matt. To me it's absolutely crazy how manufactures put shiny, black plastic in the areas that are most likely to be scuffed and smudged. Namely around the cupholders, phone chargers and infotainment areas. It's more annoying than fake exhausts!
I like the little reference with the Banana to Rebecca Jackson who you use to do car reviews with on Carbuyer 👍🏻
Lovely alloywheel 💗
Volvo is underated
As much as I love your car reviews and think you’re one of the best reviewers in the current time, I wish you’d start uploading videos of yourself dipping your feet into chocolate sauce
🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you I love your videos Very good.
Awesome review 💗💓💕
Volvo for life
This car is *YOUTHFUL*
excellent and very very entertaining review.
Do a video on MG HS 2019. Thanks a lot.
Reading all the comments about how the storage compartment is actually a bin
Stunning car
I had a look at this car a couple of weeks ago, didn’t drive it but sat in it at the show room and I was VERY impressed, it is a very solid feeling car and comfy, but big though and I wouldn’t call it ‘compact’z but smaller then the others in the range. Nice motor :)
Love this vid
I like Volvo 😊😊😊
It feels like a lot of people do lately, including myself.
I like the XC40, but a top spec Momentum Pro is about £42k. And you can't get a HUD. Or 3-Zone. The XC40 might be hip, or fashionable, but I think I'd take the stylish New CX-5, or an every-extra Tiguan SEL. And they're cheaper. And equally spacious. And have a HUD!
@@AdnanMohammed-lt8qq weirdo
@@AdnanMohammed-lt8qq thats not gonna stop me from commenting on your really unfunny behavior
Mat, your videos are always top stuff.
I've tried some of the cars you've reviewed and your advice & feedback is always on point 👌🏼
You have a fascination about bottles in your videos😉
Banana storage was brilliant 😂
This vid is pure banter😂 Never laughed this hard watching a car review
It took me awhile to get the banana joke 😂
From watching videos by this guy, he stays very well hydrated!
should do an in-depth review for the 2019 range rover evoque, the direct competitor
I test drove one today, I found it to be very overpriced for what you actually get. The one I got my hands on was a R-design T4 AWD, my first though was that the driver seat is very comfortable but there were several features of this car that really grind my gears..
1. The gearbox is one of the worst in the market, it doesn't know what gear it should be in and it hesitates when flooring it.
2. Central touchscreen is a nightmare to use on a bumpy road. It also lacks physical buttons for AC controls and heating in the seats.
3. The large 19" rims on the R-design was very noisy making it incredibly tiresome driving on the motorway.
4. The ride in the back is very tough and you don't want to spend any longer periods of time there. The backrest was very hard and the suspension made me jump about in the back seat like I was in a roller coaster.
Considering what you actually get, you're better of buying a VW T-Roc or similar which are lower priced yet higher quality.
Edit: Test drove a XC40 D3 FWD with 18" normal rims and the ride was much quieter. The diesel is also a better engine due to it's silence and low down torque that the petrol Volvos are completely missing. I still stand with my point that a T-roc is a better car thanks to it's dual clutch transmission and lower price.
I drive xc40 T4 inscription with 20 rims since a year, choosed over the competitor q3 mer bla, jaguar e pace evoque and x1. It is a n excellent car the xc40. The, features you said are you personal opinion. as you can see
If I had deep pockets then I’ll love the XC40 as my first car
What trim do you recommend for UK roads ? My city has plenty of potholes , is the R design suspension too stiff ? I like the r design seats and steering wheel, not so sure about the suspension... thanks
This was a really really useful review. Thank you! Is the presenter from Solihull because his accent seemed to be out and out Solihull to me!!
This is the car I would definitely consider over the German rivals. It is a nice and a decent looking car indeed, just as well as the interior.
Good car
What a great looking car and the touch screen infotainment system is integrated into the dash board, doing it the right way.
5:37 oh the shade 😂
6:11 hahaha this is so funny. I haven't seen any car that can do this.
I really like the look of the Volvo XC40 and the raft of safety features, I could probably live without Apple CarPlay and Android Auto but I do worry about those massive D pillars creating large blinds spots on the rear quarters! The car probably has blind spot monitoring but how effective it is I’m not sure at this point, I’ve got 6 months to go before I order my next new car so needless to say I’m gonna be test driving like no ones business!
This is the 1st video i have seen where Matt recommends to Buy the car. And i have seen lot of carwow videos, in last year or so. This car must be really good.
Oh, please do a review of the new Tucson 2019 !!
02:45 Your snack's gonna melt down there, Mat!
Is rebecca coming to carwow?
Yeah Rebecca, let her come!
I wish 😍
Can you please do a review with xc 40 inscription ?
Completely useful.
