2020 Volvo XC40 AWD R-Design

The new 2020 Volvo XC40 is a premium compact SUV with a suite of safety, luxury, and performance features. We review the 2020 Volvo XC40 AWD R-Design. #volvoxc40 #2020xc40 #2020volvoxc40
( www.CarCoachReports.com ) The 2020 Volvo XC40 is a compact luxury crossover with seating for five. Three trim levels are available: Momentum, R-Design and Inscription. The Momentum comes respectably equipped with luxury and safety features. Upgrading to the R-Design costs a bit more and adds exterior styling enhancements and additional luxury features, while the Inscription trades the R-Design's sporty upgrades for even more amenities. Each trim is also available with several features packages and stand-alone options.
The XC40 is sold with two powertrains, both using a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The front-wheel-drive T4 produces 187 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. Opting for the all-wheel-drive T5 boosts output to 248 hp and 258 lb-ft.
Selecting either powertrain in the Momentum configuration equips the XC40 with features such as 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, a power liftgate, keyless ignition, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power-adjustable driver's seat, driver-seat memory functions, and cloth and faux-leather upholstery.
Also included are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality and an eight-speaker audio system. Standard safety features include lane departure warning and mitigation and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.
There are two primary option packages for the Momentum: Convenience and Premium. Go with the Convenience package to get features such as dual-zone climate control and an adjustable cargo load floor. The Premium package adds a hands-free liftgate, keyless entry, auto-dimming exterior mirrors, a wireless charging pad, and a blind-spot monitor.
The R-Design trim includes both of the above packages, plus larger wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery with faux-suede inserts, and a navigation system. The luxe Inscription starts with the Momentum plus Convenience and Premium packages. From there, it adds unique wheels, leather upholstery, wood trim, and some of the R-Design's luxury features.
Other options to be on the lookout for including the Advanced package (more safety features, including adaptive cruise control) and the Momentum-only Multimedia package (adds navigation and a 13-speaker Harman Kardon audio system).
More standard features for the R-Design and Inscription trim.

I have just brought XC40 R Design looking forward delivery. I found this review very insightful.

[@CarCoachReports]

Thank you. I just referred a fried to buy one and she loves it. It really is a great vehicle.

[@CarNut43]

Great review! I love your honesty and very level headed opinion. Some reviewers get stuck on gimmicky options that cars may or may not have. You are a great representation of the real buyer.

[@CarCoachReports]

Thank you 😊

[@CarNut43]

Car Coach Reports You’re welcome! I work in for the US HQ of an automotive company going through.. some interesting times, and I’ve loved your coverage of it 😊 I am going to bring it up to my friends to try to make sure you’re at all of our press releases and upcoming events. There are exciting things coming!!

[@Sidelinefighter-expert]

I own one. Absolutely incredible car

[@CarCoachReports]

Agreed

[@Cruelaid]

Nice car & review, subbed

[@CarCoachReports]

Thank you very much. I’ll be reviewing the XC40 Recharge,, post coming soon.

[@bovver6092]

I bought same exact car trim and color yesterday!

[@CarCoachReports]

Awesome choice, just helped a friend buy one. Love the XC40

[@ttff5561]

rents bought one last month, was highly surprised with how fast that thing is. Was keepin up with my 370z for a second there lol. Thing looks mean too, nice choice mom. Lol.

[@cliffordjohncintong1326]

New subscriber here. Awesome review.

[@CarCoachReports]

Thanks for the sub

[@felixt1470]

I have a 2013 Volvo S 60 and the depreciation is out of sight!!!

[@tonybutcher4243]

Was surprised you didn’t show the automatic tailgate on the T5? I’ve just ordered the T3 & that comes with the auto tailgate.

[@CarCoachReports]

There are a lot of other great features on this vehicle as well, I could probably spend an hour showing them all to you. But that is one of the niceties of the Volvo product line

[@karendeeside4494]

Some of the main desired safety features, are add on packages, they aren’t standard. Blind spot information, lane control, cross traffic alert, rear collision mitigation. Works out expensive.

[@CarCoachReports]

My thoughts exactly

[@lucta4081]

What is the 0-60 for this 4 banger if you dont mind? Thank you

[@CarCoachReports]

the 2L inline 4 cylinder engine goes 0-60 mph in 6.7 seconds and a quarter mile run at 15.1 seconds.

[@lucta4081]

@@CarCoachReports thanks for the info

[@jennifermcdonald8190]

How was the length in the back seat? My kids the same height as you!

[@CarCoachReports]

There’s some generous backseat space. I would suggest that you have them sit in the backseat as we are all built differently and comfort is critical. I do like the XCp 40 a lot

[@parteekkansal]

This or tucson 2022 fully loaded?

[@CarCoachReports]

Tucson is the best value overall

[@TheeRighteousOnee]

This or Toyota Rav 4? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@CarCoachReports]

No the Volvo is much different and the interface for the multi-media is much better.

[@josinagl7255]

Ok, as a Volvo "lover" I was charmed by the first drawings that came out when they launched the idea of the XC40. But then there where a few design things that made me go EWWWW on the car; the carlining from the hood to the doors; the intersection of the A-style, it's not a fluent line... and the the steering wheel, Volvo designers must be parttime Tupperware salespersons because it looks like a Tupperware salade bowl...upside down... So, as for me personally, love the idea and quality of the car but ona design level I have to say that Volvo is dropping the ball on a few levels....the designflaws in my opinion comes back in all their models of late. You however Lauren, another good revieuw and effort...always a joy!🤗

[@CarCoachReports]

Thank you 😊
