2018 Volvo XC40 Full Review and Comparison

[@levankopaliani1]

I can tell your reviews are the most informative, not brain damaging by the useless information. The most in-depth review not only in this video, but all of them. THANKS!

[@bobfredericks6545]

Alex is the most comprehensive and informative when reviewing vehicles. Good job.

[@andras.89]

Gorgeous look, especially in white with R-Design. That lava color fabric interior also fresh and classy. Volvo nailed it.

[@joeyo6209]

How do you keep the lava fabric clean when you own the car? I can see it getting dirty and fabric is difficult to clean, especially if u live in places where there is a lot of snow. Interesting that a Swedish company didn't think of this

[@ab9zd73]

Volvo has been owned by the Chinese since 2010.

[@andras.89]

Ken Helms Chinese money, Swedish traditions and finest engineering. Yap, the best what could happen with the brand:)

[@RM9K]

Nailed it? Not exactly. The black plastic cladding degrades the overall presentation by at least a notch or two. Ugh.

[@georgelurye6274]

This car is built in Ghent, Belgium, while all others are being moved to be built at 3 factories in China.

[@needlesspirate9825]

Those people who disliked this video,don't know what kind of review they expect from. So far I know Alex has the best auto review out there. Even I fought my car after watching Alex review.

[@swesleyc7]

This is probably the most in-depth review I've seen to date.

[@tu6198]

WOW. THAT IS BY FAR THE BEST CROSSOVER I'VE SEEN IN DECADES.

[@brwalsh17]

Bought XC40 T5 in US a few months ago. Getting 24 mpg combined. Driving it is a joy. Seats v comfortable. I drive it often in off-road mode on the beach, where it handles everything my old Jeep Wrangle did except very very soft sand - got stuck once. Got some Tred boards to get myself out. The 8.7 inch ground clearance beats most other CUVs in its class. Very smart car, with many options to customize. Love the large touchscreen. Pano sunroof cover closes automatically when the parked car gets hot inside. Storage in back is small, but ease of dropping back seats flat means i can carry the occasional load w/out problem. If you remove the hard cargo cover it fits perfectly in the slot designed for it - i.e., it isn't "seemed to be sized" - it was designed like that! I use that space to stash my tred boards for off-road. Fun car!

[@georgelurye6274]

The XC40 has 8.3 inches of ground clearance, not 8.7. Subarus have 8.7 on most models.

[@appointedcounsel5550]

Another solid review! Alex, your reviews are the best.- comprehensive, objective, detailed, and professionally delivered.

[@joeychitwood6004]

Volvo has always had the most comfortable seats. This XC40 is on my shopping list!

[@SK-rj6vx]

Joey Chitwood BEST seats in the biz. HANDS DOWN

[@joeychitwood6004]

I agree!

[@myslecinaczej8674]

but only front seats in this vehicle are comfortable. Rear seats are inclined so much upright (to safe space) you can only seat there during a short trip. Yes- I been there and seen and felt it with my a...Some reviewers mentioned that too. And the recent years Volvo "quality".....this company manufacture tons of electronic crap. Tons of problems with infotainment systems make these vehicle definitely non-premium. Very disappointing for a volvo fun like me.

[@georgelurye6274]

Volvo doesn't actually manufacture any electronics. They're all outsourced, just like all other brands of cars.

[@JamesRussoMillas]

Volvo killing it right now!

[@MarcSelwan]

This is really an amazing car. Just a note to potential buyers, at least in the Bay Area, these things are back ordered for at least 5-6 months. I ended up with an XC60 instead - A T5 XC60 with similar features to the full loaded XC40 isn't too far off in price.

[@rumynchik]

$8K difference between fully loaded T5 Momentums. So not exactly peanuts. XC60 has great incentives, which make the price more attractive, at the moment.

I've always said that Volvo doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Terrific review of the XC 40, hopefully this is my next after the VW Tiguan.

[@LlyleHunter]

My Volvo saved my life!

[@aramiris]

mine too

[@MultiWarbird]

Bruce Solomon How?

[@ElroyMcDuff]

I'll answer that question with another question - what is Volvo's claim to fame?

[@LlyleHunter]

I was driving up to my home which was a corner lot one night. A kid in a stolen 1977 Gran Prix was speeding on the street without lights. He t-boned my 740 GL wagon sending me up on two wheels diagonally with only my driver's side wheels on the ground, straight into my own three foot wide sycamore tree completely bashing the front end to the windshield cowl. I required back surgery a few years later but I walked out of the car myself and the accident wasn't painful because the car went out of its way to protect me. The bottom of the dash became like a cushion and when the car landed I fell sideways with my shoulders on the passenger seat. The storage armrest collapsed softly under my waist causing no abrasions or pain. I'm certain that if I'd been in my previous '87 Escort GT I wouldn't be here. I made sure that I'd replaced with a 940.

[@LlyleHunter]

Safety! It's true.

[@HobbyFinn2]

Excellent review, you are really more of a car professional than a salesman. Thanks!

[@Rapunzel879]

Wow, what a comprehensive review. I'm so impressed. Subbed!

[@ΚώσταςΓιαννέλλης]

Very detailed analysis and in depth comparison with the competition. Excellent presentation!

[@rustlesee]

7:47, I actually prefer a hard cover any day over the flimsy roll ups. They cover the cargo better, add better sound insulation, and over all look better. Yes roll ups might be easier to handle when they are needed out of the way, but that doesn't negate the fact the hard covers just look and perform better 90% of the time.

[@bennylofgren3208]

Russell C Yes, and you can put things on them as well (although of course you shouldn't, since it might come flying in case of a collision). But a pillow or a blanket won't kill you...

[@DougFrantz]

The current Volvo roll up covers don't have storage big enough to get them out of the way for on the fly use. I like the fact that you can stow this under the storage compartment, many will live their whole lives there, and that beats taking up space in the garage like the roll up covers often do for many folks!

[@almeladze]

you can put a pillow or a blanket on the roll ups as well. Roll ups are more versatile overall if you tend to fill up your trunk above the "waterline". Living in the city without a garage makes it difficult to store the hard shelf (but it seems like recently a few manufacturers found a solution like the under the floor storage of the hard shelf (even if it takes a little room away storage-wise). Overall, not the most critical feature of the car.

[@georgelurye6274]

Hard covers often break at the pivot point and have to be completely replaced at a very high price, cannot be rolled back partially to allow a larger piece of cargo and don't bend if something tall is under them, while still hiding it.

[@wellcraft2136]

@@DougFrantz you nailed it!!

[@silentseeker79]

This is not called cartoonish Mr Alex, this is called stylish design. Very big difference .

[@blaksable]

Excellent review! Was instantly excited when I saw it posted. Now, to wait for the Lexus UX review. It’s between the XC40 and the UX for me.

[@normt5463]

The Lexus might be less to buy as it is less if a car. No navigation, no SAT radio, no AWD. But probably a nice city car.

[@blaksable]

Norm T For some, those things would matter, but I have Nav and satellite radio in my present vehicle. I don’t use either. For nav I use Maps or Waze on my iPhone, so Apple CarPlay will be just fine for that aspect in the Lexus. After a few months of using satellite radio, I cancelled it because, as with radio, same music over and over. Comedy stations played same routines over and over. I prefer podcasts, which I could listen to via the iPhone app. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Vehicle purchases are about needs, and some wants. I’m in Atlanta, GA...I won’t be doing any off-roading, so no need for AWD. Reliability, value, function, aesthetically pleasing...the Lexus brand checks those boxes...aside from the fenders on the UX. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Volvo does too. Both have their pros and cons, but I’d like to see what the UX brings at launch before making a decision.

[@tigerdeal1]

Check to see if Lexus has an Overseas Delivery Program, Volvo's is the Best and my wife and I had a great trip to Sweden and Denmark while driving our new R-Design XC40. While also paying no destination charges on my new car. Plus, got a warranty of up to 120K on my new Volvo. So, for peace of mind, I love my purchase. My local car wash place has not had any problems keeping my Lava interior clean. I am an outside sales associate and have plenty of people riding in my car. I only get it detailed once a month. I would recommend this car to anyone! I love it no buyers remorse here. Again, our trip alone was worth the purchase from memories made alone! Gothenburg is three hours from Oslo and 3 and a half from Copenhagen. Lstly 4 hurs to Stockholm.

3:20 Whether it is a styling choice or not, they should have an option where you could opt for a led turn signal. That incandescent light bulb looks so ugly when placed next to led bulbs.

XC 40 Is the 1st attractive Volvo in my opinion. I love it's look!

[@umarslatif]

Excellent/comprehensive review as always

[@christong88]

It sounds like XC40 is a closer competitor to Mini countryman. Both are sporty and have their characters. I am really curious how these two compare to each other.

[@Lt.Mingus69]

Looks quite attractive, but that C-pillar looks like it would create a massive blind spot.

[@stevestojan]

J Pollock I’ve had mine for a month. No issues with C Pillar and blind spot.

[@georgelurye6274]

When does a driver look through the rear quarter panel anyway? You can't do that while you're driving. Do you mean for parking? You have huge mirrors in this one and a great, big rearview camera that should take care of the issue. It's a small car anyway. Pretty short.

[@wmalden]

The air vents at the far left and right ends of the instrument panel remind me of the 1950’s Edsel “horse collar” grille.

[@eridanisdjuvienne1942]

EXACTLY what i thought!!

[@robertenglebright8257]

I love your reviews. I am completely smitten with the XC40. I had been looking for a new car after moving from NYC to Chicago, and my choice was the Subaru Legacy Outback. Then I saw this. I test drove one at my local dealer, ordered one, and will have it delivered late June. The major factor that sold me getting this car over the Outback was the subscription plan, where everything is covered for one monthly payment, including insurance.

[@almeladze]

Robert, how can you compare a Subaru and a European premium offering? It's like comparing apples and pizza (not even oranges LOL). Quick question: why is the car delivered in June? Did you special order some specs or the car is not available?

[@robertenglebright8257]

Hi Alexander! I was not comparing them. :) I mentioned that I was originally going to buy a Subaru. I've owned 2 Outback station wagons, and have loved them. Very reliable, good build quality, lots of cargo space, etc. They may be a better car than you are giving it credit for. Then, when I saw and test drove the XC40 I was completely smitten. And when I did a price comparison with the premium model of the Outback and the XC40 there was not much difference. I am giving up more cargo space by not buying the Subaru, but I don't care. LOL. I am using Volvo's new car subscription plan, which requires me to order the car.

[@almeladze]

Robert, no offense but I think Subarus are not attractive cars no matter how practical or reliable they may be. And I know that for some people looks matter less but I like my cars to be aesthetically attractive AND practical at the same time. As for the price, of course they would be day and night - this is a European upmarket car (even if not entirely luxury category like Jag or a German trio) vs a Subaru which is more of a utilitarian vehicle. So if you were to lease or purchase the car it would have been available right-away but since you are using the subscription they wanted you to order and wait? I am trying to figure out if they're readily available or there is back-order for them. Somebody mentioned here that there was a line and a waiting involved with getting these XC40 these days.

[@robertenglebright8257]

Taste is subjective & people buy different cars for different reasons. Try not to interject your personal tastes into my comment about a Subaru and a Volvo: while I respect your opinion, there is a hint of egotism in your reply. You think Subarus aren't attractive, and there are those who think they are, including me. If you need to make that judgement call, be my guest, but not all opinions need to be shared with strangers. :) I'm perfectly aware of what the XC40 represents and what the Subaru represents - I'm capable of making a decision on a car based on what may seem like contradictory criteria. To your questions: the subscription plan required me to order the car.

[@almeladze]

[@markgeller5900]

Man Alex, what a great review. YOU DIDN'T MISS A THING!!! This is clearly a winner in the under 40K suv's, especially when it comes plug-in with the potential for really high mileage for us city dwellers who only occasionally need a road car and an off-road car. I can't wait until you get your hands on the new V60 wagon. Soon?

[@a.ditt.o]

Drove both T4 and T5 and decided to go with the CX5 instead. The steering didn’t give me a very good feel of what the car was doing and seemed very light. Also compared to the CX5 Sig, not worth an extra 10k.

[@ToshiClark]

These are leasing well, too. 36 month 10k/yr residuals of 64% for the Momentum, 62% for R-Design. Great money factor of 0.00007 for the R-Design as well so overall a cheap lease. I’m signing lease paperwork on an R-Design imminently-the only really tough part was finding one not a demo and not already spoken for!

[@georgelurye6274]

I assume from the 10k/yr statement that you're talking about traditional leases and not the subscription?

[@georgelurye6274]

Also, are you sure your money factor number is correct? If so, you're paying an interest rate of just 0.168%?

[@anhedonic2252]

Thank you for the review. My only gripe - very light steering (even at the firmest setting/Dynamic mode). We're in the process of replacing our old 60 series with XC40. Once the hype dies down, we'll be pulling a trigger. Nice rounded vehicle.

[@nimbuskhannk627]

Brilliant piece. One point though. It is not very fair for the model's designers to have them come up with a clever (...and pretty unique, compared with the competition) way to store the cargo cover when it is removed (underneath the the cargo area floor) and, then, still complain that that particular space (...which already is another clever added space, in terms of design...) is lost. You simply can not eat a very sweet design cake and still have it.

[@Showmetheevidence-]

I think that cargo cover easily fits inside the small compartment beneath....

[@mikejaynekennedy4790]

Alex I am a first time viewer and am totally amazed at your thorough review of the XC40. So much so I have subscribed to your channel. One thing I would like to suggest you try, is what I learned in a advanced driver training course. They taught me that you should loosely hold the steering wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock and place your thumbs on the steering wheel spokes. You use your thumbs to steer with. If you want to go right, you move your right thumb down (which turns the wheel). You do the reverse for left turns. The advantage in driving this way are two fold. Number one, your hands never lose touch with the wheel and number two, because your hands don't grip the steering wheel (in an emergency, all too often a "death grip"), you have finer control over the direction the car goes. I was taught this is how race car drivers steer.

[@sloanNYC]

I doubt the US would ever get it, but a V40 would get my money.

[@georgelurye6274]

The V60 is going to be the smallest in the US, but that's pretty small already. Compact.

[@adamwright9741]

Darn I can't believe that Acura is not holding its own with a subcompact SUV because they have a winner with the Honda HRv and the new Acuras are top notch, and I actually think I would want an RDX for both me AND my gal

[@daveseyeball]

Adam Wright hopefully they got rid of the death trap transmissions and the ridiculous hesitation when accelerating from a stop.

[@gemini6828]

Really like this XC 40, it drives nice and has great styling. My one huge gripe is that backseat door. When you open the backseat door, it's at such an acute angle, the amount of opening you have to climb in the back is limited. If you were to put something like groceries or something that's larger or bulky, I'm not sure you could get it all in the back seat without having to be a contortionist to get it inside the SUV. I know this sounds silly, but until you actually see it for yourself, you won't understand. Is this a deal breaker? If you have to shove your kids in the back seat and other things on a daily basis, it sure would be a major drag. If it's just you or your spouse etc. sitting in the front, then it's probably not a deal breaker. Everyone can make up their own minds. I thought I was nuts at first when I noticed how tight it was to fit into the back seat because the door doesn't open widely as other SUV's, but then my husband also confirmed that he thought the same thing.

[@Dejesusluis87]

Alex can you tell me if the xc40 has a more harsh suspension than the bmw x1? Which one feels more comfortable, it will be for a family of 4 , two adults a two 1 year olds. Thanks. I truly admire your work, big fan here.

@Cole Lockridge - It's very pretty but, alas, overpriced. San Jose got good amounts of rain for the past two winters, so we should be fine for some years to come. It's still green in the hills, but it will start going yellowish in a few weeks and brown by early summer. Just annual cycles, 4 months of rain and 8 months of sun.

[@almeladze]

I live in NYC. I was recently shopping for a small x-over. The idea being that in the winter I have to climb in and out of snow mounds that freeze along the side of the street after the city plows snow to the sides. Well, it baffles me how most of the crossover and SUV tests these days are done on the highway in southern states! I couldnt find a decent winter review of any one of the cars I looked at - X1/X2, Q3, GLA. Jeep Compass... This one seems to be the same story.

Youll definitely get more looks with the Volvo because it is so in comparison. The Audi is definitely not a bad choice, but I would choose Volvo because I also dont need such a large car as the Q5.
