[@KuyaArbee]

have this in the USA and LOVE IT! and ppl say this is a coolray LMFAO! nah buddy! coolray is a GEELY product... the XC40 is a VOLVO engineered product with volvo certified safety crash testing etc! Also correction …. Geely uses their bma platform and Volvo uses their CMA platform .

[@KyleLiongCars]

True. I drove the Coolray for a couple of days though and while they feel distinct from one another, you know that there are some similarities here and there haha

[@1218CLS]

The Coolray actually uses the BMA platform which was developed independently by Geely.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yep but still some of it feels similar haha! The turn signal stalk too is right off of the XC40

Excellent review - really helped us make a decision.Thanks!

[@KyleLiongCars]

Thanks too!

[@flymnl]

My mom's Dream car, Didn't know it was in the Philippines

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yep hehe we have them here now

[@henryreyes687]

Great review! Subscribed! If anyone of you are looking at this Volvo for your next vehicle, the 360 degree cam, sunroof, pilot assist are must haves. Here in Australia its called the lifestyle pack and the intelli-safe pack. You wont regret getting this SUV. I have owned mine since September 2018 and still give it a quick look back after parking the car. 😍

[@KyleLiongCars]

How’s the reliability btw?

[@henryreyes687]

@@KyleLiongCars Abso-friggin-lutely brilliant. Three years no issues and here in Sydney, Volvo service is top notch. They give me an XC60 loaner every time i get my car serviced - I think they're trying to influence me to upgrade😛. Also helps that I got 3 years free service.

[@KyleLiongCars]

What other upgrades are there? Hahaha! Get the S90 is ever hehe

[@henryreyes687]

@@KyleLiongCars Yeah the XC60 is looking a bit long in the tooth already and carries the same number of passengers as my XC40 - 5. The XC60 like per like is about AUD 10K over the XC40. The real upgrade is the XC90 but, in Sydney where parking is narrower than most countries, you're at the losing end. So I'm happy with my XC40 and my Swedish Crystal Gear knob. :)

[@KyleLiongCars]

Are Sydney roads narrower than Manila? I think even the XC90 is fine here hahaha

[@henryreyes687]

Ive got the Black Inscription with Blonde Interior, Its a superb compact AWD SUV.

[@KyleLiongCars]

I know!! It blew my mind too! Didn’t expect Volvo to be better than its German rivals haha

[@henryreyes687]

@@KyleLiongCars I chose it over the BMW X1, Jaguar EPace and the Audi Q3 - saved a lot of money too! My XC40 was built in Ghent, Belgium.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Is your batch the one that came with a sunroof?

[@henryreyes687]

@@KyleLiongCars wait, sorry I'm based in Sydney Australia so we all have the sunroof option.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Ohhh I thought you’re from the PH too haha! Some batches got the sunroof here, some didn’t

[@carloacetre677]

This feels like what the Coolray would be if you tripled the price lol

[@KyleLiongCars]

Uhhh yeah actually hahaha! To be fair, it’s still better than the Coolray, by how much is the question

[@cakesu88]

Asian Doug Demuro🔥

[@KyleLiongCars]

I hope that’s a good thing haha thanks

[@joaquinfranco9012]

Second lol But seriously, it's a European car, without the headaches.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Not bad actually. I like it

[@jeremyleewang]

Without the headaches? Seriously? 🤔

[@KyleLiongCars]

Arguably better than its other Euro counterparts haha

[@KyleLiongCars]

They’re still pretty good though. Even the Geelys are really good

[@jeremyleewang]

Pretty much most cars are pretty good but reliability is a test of time. I think the Mainland Chinese made cars still need to make their mark as far as long term reliability is concerned.

[@francisllado]

great review kyle! loved the cruise control feature of the car as well as the infotainment and interior. baka naman xc60 and 90 hybrids? 😉

[@KyleLiongCars]

If Volvo lets me try them, I sure will make videos on them as well :)

[@hardwick5192]

Hi Kyle Love your video. Can you do a Classic W123 Mercedes. Thank you and love your vids!

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yes in the future. Already contacted an owner of a W123 haha

[@hardwick5192]

@@KyleLiongCars this is why I love you man. Lets GO!!!!

[@KyleLiongCars]

Soon. Probably not VERY soon, but hopefully soon haha

[@antonioesteban3842]

Actually Mercedes-Benz was the first to offer airbags as an option

[@KyleLiongCars]

Interesting :O Thanks for the info

[@rosandpl]

no need for AC buttons, just say "temperature 22" , done

[@KyleLiongCars]

That works too

[@paolofarley]

Is the October date confirmed for the updates specs model release?

[@KyleLiongCars]

I think so. You may contact sir Dan Gallego for more details

[@rontv836]

Lahat po ba ng r design ng volvo may paddle shifters?

[@KyleLiongCars]

Not sure po

faster than I could even view my own vid hahaha

[@charlieyork1747]

i love that chinese look ;)

[@KyleLiongCars]

Doesn’t look Chinese

[@charlieyork1747]

@@KyleLiongCars referring to you Kyle,,,, I like all your car reviews specially the amazing chinese brands, it kinda help me a lot to decide on my next car and I'm considering Geely azcara or changan c75. Xièxiè nǐ 😊

[@KyleLiongCars]

Ahhh I see haha thanks

[@MrMekmek29]

This feels like a Geely car.. speaking of.. im still waiting on that coolray review lol

[@KyleLiongCars]

I mean well…… Geely owns Volvo hahaha! I just shot the regular Coolray review today. Set to be uploaded in about 3 weeks I guess. The special Coolray will come soon

[@mikegallego7848]

Dude, based on the videos you comment on (yes, they're public), I can tell that you've been planning to buy a "Chinese" car. If you like the Coolray, go get one. After all, it's co-developed by Volvo. But you have to digest that IT'S NOT AN XC40, and give a rest to that insinuation. ✌️

[@KyleLiongCars]

Agree with sir Mike. While there are similarities here and there (turn signal switch for example), and I have to admit that the Coolray is excellent, we still can’t and shouldn’t expect it to be as good as the XC40 especially in this T5 trim
