    The central consul ha a major issue being so low. In order not to break the horizontal dashboard when using CarPlay your navigation(Waze for me) displays too low and does not incorporate into the head on display(my Volvo have it). This is so bad I find it as a real safety concern because of the driver having to lower his eyes way down to see the map. One quick fix would be to place the navigation(CarPlay) on the top part of the media panel(not at the bottom) and allocate more space for it. Also as a second phase incorporate the navigation signs into the head on display. Where I live the built in Nav system is useless btw.

      There are 6 Communist state-owned companies : BAIC - SAIC - GAIC - Changan - FAW and Dongfeng.
      But there are also 3 Privatized car companies that were founded in the last 30 decades : Great Wall - BYD - and Geely. The 3 that are free from the state ownership are the 3 that have developed the most.
      Stop arguing with your « Volvo funds dictatorships ! » lines. Geely. Is. Private.
      It is like VAG, it is like JLR, it is like PSA, it is like FCA. They are a private car group like there are lots of them.
      You’re just pissed off by the idea of something funded by Chinese money being any good; searching a scapegoat to hate on Volvo. Grow up. Your phone, laptop, dishwasher, TV, is made in China. Is it good ? Yes.
      Volvo has never been in greater shape than before. They sold well, they can finally go all out on their cars like they did when Volvo was owned mostly by Volvo AB. The design, the engines, the quality, the engineering, has never been better.

    Pls be careful, XC40 are made in China from 2019. I wouldn’t buy any cars made in China but it’s your choice.

      Except the majority of XC40 are still made in Belgium for the EU market, which is pretty far away from China I reckon. Also quite nationalistic undertones with this comment, it's like being teleported to the 90s or 80s.

      Pretty rubbish post. While Geely is the majority stake owner in Volvo cars, the design and operations for Volvo are still done in Sweden.
