As for the engine start stop automatic: I own (here in Austria) a '21 XC40 T5 Recharge (PHEV). The big advantage of plug in hybrids or mild hybrids is, that the electric motor delivers full momentum at any speeds, even if it's zero. So you nearly have crossed the intersection while the engine in a conventional car has just started... :-)

Just thought I'd give some feedback if you are thinking of buying the car. I have the 2019 XC40 T5. Overall I like the car but three things that really annoyed me and I have told Volvo, but I don't think they would ever fix it. 1. It has wireless charging for your mobile at the front and it also has start/stop engine to conserve petrol. However, when start/stop feature is turned on, your wireless mobile charge also turned off/on. For an hour's drive, expect to charge about 5-10% of your mobile. 2. The centre screen does not auto turn off. I just wish that after playing with the centre controls, that the screen will turn it self off after a few minutes if no one is touching it. 3. The apps are fixed. You cannot update the apps and the apps do not update themselves. Even if there is a newer version out. I have been trying to update my Android Auto app but I can't. If anyone is reading this and know how to fix my above issues. Please let me know. Thank you.

Great review--thanks! I think this is one of the best looking subcompact SUVs out there, they look very sharp, and I think it is an interesting choice if you can refrain from ticking too many of the option/package boxes. I'd start by nixing the 20-inch wheels--no thanks! I don't know it sells in comparison to the BMW/Lexus offerings in this segment, but I'd sure think if you are shopping for a luxury subcompact CUV/SUV, this would be worth a look. In any event, really appreciate all that you do when you bring us these reviews and how you present your content. I look forward to your next one!

The 2020 XC40 R-Design is my 3rd Volvo. My first was a 2016 XC90 the first model year of the new design. The only additional extra it had -- leather seats. Then I went to the 2019 XC60 R-design with a bigger suite of extras. I just got a near fully loaded 2020 XC40 R Design. The only thing it doesn't have -- sadly - is the HK sound system my XC60 had.. as STANDARD in R-Design. Unfortunate it's not standard on the 40. Aside from that -- and the very real fact mentioned this review -- the 20" tires -- will make you feel EVERY road issue. And with American roads in constant steep decline, you will feel it. I looked at the BMW X1, The small Lexus and the small Audi Q3. NOTHING compares to Volvo. I'm a BMW lover -- I've owned 4 of them -- they are great -- but when I switched to SUV's -- nothing compares to Volvo. Looks and safety -- all amazing. The X1 is dull and boring looking. The Lexus -- no power. Both my R-Designs came with POLESTAR ENGINEERED ENGINE MAPPING -- adding a bit more HP feel and torque. The XC40 -- with that option is FAST. The standard Mustang next to you will look in awe as you take off from a stoplight. And compared to the VERY plastic/cheap feel of Lexus NX or UX -- get the Volvo. Lexus has great models -- but the low-end NX and UX --- not premium luxury at all. Volvo is where it's at..

Great video and you’re being spoilt by Volvo where you are. This certainly isn’t the case for the UK models. We’ve had a massive cull of the specs and almost every feature you mention has either gone or is an expensive option as part of a pack. Is Blind Spot Monitoring really standard? It’s a £1550 ($2,000) option here! The full list known, as of today, of the downgrading is as follows; Paddle shifters on R Design. REMOVED Twin exit chrome exhausts. REMOVED Embossing on leather seats. REMOVED Embossing on C Pillar. REMOVED Embossing on tread plates. REMOVED Electric folding rear seats. REMOVED Folding rear head rests. REMOVED Close & Lock button on trunk. REMOVED And now only one key delivered. We all know about the ‘Care Key’ that cannot be linked to driver profiles and no profiles can be called up from the infotainment screen. Volvo have even deleted the stalwart ticket holder from the A Pillar! I’ve ordered an Inscription Pro and was really disappointed to find out, after I’d ordered, of all of the deletions.

I was cross shopping this with the Subaru Outback XT Touring, and to be fair, I have owned 3 Volvo sedans in my past. For the price, I could not justify the Volvo badge. They both have good AWD systems, they both have large vertically oriented infotainment systems, they both have flexible storage capacity and good, torquey 4 cylinder turbos. But, that Subaru gives you more at the price point. More room, more ground clearance, more HP and Torque, premium nappa leather and lower maintenance costs.

I'm curious about the use of the center touch pad. In your reviews you don't change the radio stations or adjust the climate control while driving. Having experienced 2 nearly head on collisions-one from a Tesla and another from a Buick (both drivers were adjusting something on their center consoles), I had to lean on my horn to snap them back into their lanes. It seems counter intuitive to go with a touchpad, which may require more driver attention than knobs, looking for the right page and the right GUI button. Can you include interfacing with these controls while doing 60mph? -thanks!

A lot of that stuff isn't standard at least in UK. For the R design BLIS is part of the intellisafe pack. Seats are nubuck/leather combo. Wheels are 18" standard even on r design. Carplay/Android auto is extra. I'm surprised that the simple stuff that should be standard just isn't, a company that brags about safety makes you pay extra for blind spot system AND power child locks in the back (£85 its not a lot but why is that not standard?!) Also only reverse parking sensors are standard, extra for front sensors and camera for the rear parking. Also active bending headlights are not standard (unless you get R design pro version). Just ordered mine but the choice was this or Q3 sportback for my company car, still chose the Volvo but annoyed that R design standard doesnt have that much on it to say it's not the basic momentum trim. Hope I don't regret it!
