I love this "no-nonsense" review, perfect and to the point! Well done.

Thanks for watching everyone! We are trying something a little different with the thumbnail so make sure to let us know what you think about it! And try to keep cool 🥵🥵

[@curiously1510]

I generally like to see the front/side view of a vehicle in the thumbnail, but if the profile view is unique as in the case of this Volvo, it is definitely more eye catching and intriguing.

Another little storage option...you can see it at 11:50 ... there are 2 slots underneath the vent. Supposedly you can store a credit card there, or maybe a parking garage ticket. There might be another slot under the center console where the phone charger is.

[@genghisroundstoner1857]

At 9:29 the "upright phone holder" is actually an Ashtray. It comes standard, and you can get it as an accessory. I don't smoke, so I DO use it as a phone holder!

Thank you for this comprehensive review! I have a follow up question: What are the "paddle shifters" for? Didn't quite understand that part.

[@marialourdesdiocera8525]

Is there a latch/button for opening the gas cap?

[@Ozefan2580]

I don't think so. I think you just push it in, but you have to have the key fob with you. Otherwise it's locked....at least that's what I remember from a test drive.

[@tomcora9417]

18:42 Why did you manually open the rear liftgate if you just said that it had hands free opening? You even waved your foot.

Foot activated tailgates do not function when the car is running for most automakers, including Volvo

The CX-5 is 179-inches long and the XC40 is shorter at 174-inches. But not a huge difference

[@water2299]

@@CarConfections thank you for your response. I might have to do a test drive on 40 and 60

[@genghisroundstoner1857]

It's more than size. The XC40 has luxury touches that the Mazda CX-5 cannot match. The lighting in this car, from headlights, to ambient lighting ALL over the car, door handles in and outside, puddle lights under doors etc. I compared this against the CX-5 and I had the employee/family plan for the CX-5 which is 4% below invoice plus all incentives and I still went with the XC40 as this is a TRUE luxury vehicle in every sense not just some chrome and wood. The CX-5 Signature DOESN'T even have a glovebox light!

[@brentmaxey20100]

Why talk about the power kick gate, but let us see you clearly press the button? Does it not work well? I’m picking an XC40 or the 2020 Evoque. This was helpful, really hope you’ll do a new Range Rover Evoque SOON👍🏼

[@CarConfections]

Because of the heat, the car was running during that part of the video. The kick sensors don't work on any vehicles when they are running. Hopefully we will be able to find a Land Rover dealership partner soon! Thanks for watching!

[@brentmaxey20100]

Car Confections your reviews are EXTREMELY in-depth & detail oriented. So a 2020 Range Rover Evoque would get an enormous amount of views. There aren’t many videos on the new redesign, that are that detail oriented. Hope to see one soon, from you guys👍🏼❤️

Ive heard that Volvo is now owned by Geely of China, where the Geely Coolray uses the same engine and frame as the XC 40. Is this true?..

I love the Volvo XC 40! It’s very Stylish and nice, they use to be for old people now they look a lot better! Lol

[@sjohnson7879]

Volvo never use to be just for old people. Volvos were always stylish durable cars with a huge demographic that catered to a highly educated young and old buyer. People never gave Volvo credit since its not a germam brand i.e Bmw mercedes and audi. Its like if its not a German than its not worthy or its just a brand for old people. Typical stereotype about Volvo which is unfounded. Again Volvos catered to a broad demographic from families to affluent young and old. Volvos are very special cars that are unique and engineered to stand the test of time. Mercedes Bmw and Audis are your typical snoozefess overrated boring cars that are sold to the masses just because its German and luxury is German for most Americans. Volvos are for the people! Everybody and I think thats amazing.

[@AhmadAfify9]

Yes

[@salmas873]

Yes, all T5 awd have 4 diff modes. Not sure about the T4s.

[@ivanlowjones]

I'm curious how many commentors will bash this as a "Chinese" vehicle while most likely watching this review on a smart device with a majority of Chinese made electronic components. Volvo is a Chinese car just like Jaguar-Land Rovers are Indian cars (Tata Motors), Mini-Coopers and Rolls-Royces (BMW) are German cars as are Bentleys, Bugattis and Lamborghinis (Volkswagen Auto Group). I guess even Nissan and Mitsubishi are French these days (Renault). No one ever seems to mention the ethnicity of those other brands ownership groups, except for Volvo.....hmmm🤓🤓🤓

[@jasonbrown522]

I don't mind them being Chinese made at all, that does not mean that quality is low. I do, however, believe the price of Volvo vehicles is too high for the limited exposure they have. They would sell like hotcakes if they lowered the price about 15% or so. Volvos are not full blown luxury cars, they never have been. Personally, I have always viewed them as a safety and practicality brand. I could see them lowering their prices to be more in line with Mazda. Not quite luxury, but more or less a premium, or near luxury brand like Buick.

[@TMS5100]

volvo's reliablity ratings are in the gutter now. they used to make reliable cars. but no longer.

[@ivanlowjones]

@@jasonbrown522 $35,000 XC90, $30,000 XC60, $25,000 XC40.......alrighty then.

[@kubi0461]

There's no comparison between a vehicle and a phone or electronic device. I don't depend on my phone to get me to work and back everyday safely. Issues with those things are minor inconveniences compared to the impact of reliability issues with a vehicle. Regardless of what country you consider Volvo cars to be from, there's no hiding the fact that Volvo's reliability has been very poor in recent years.

[@ivanlowjones]

@@kubi0461 The XC40 is built in Belgium by Belgians and perhaps other Europeans. The XC60 and XC90 are built in Sweden and will be built in the U.S beginning in 2020 alongside the S60/V60 which is already built here. The S90/V90 is built in Sweden and China (mainly the T8 hybrids). The Swedes still design and engineer Volvos with Geely financial backing. Again, Jaguar-Land Rover products are designed and engineered by Brits with Tata Motors money. Aren't they still considered iconic British cars? How then are Volvos considered Chinese cars now? Interesting factoid.....Geely Motors also owns shares of Daimler who is the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, so those Chinese built S-Class and E-Class Mercedes are just around the corner😱😱

@@stephenhendricks103 Volvo really improved the air conditioning systems with their P3 cars. I have the Volvo VIDA (The programming tool) and my car has more aggressive cooling settings enabled.
