My wife just bought a 2023 XC40 B5 AWD Dark. I admit I had not seen this review until after the purchase, but she is loving the Volvo. It is her first SUV. She has been staunchly a small coupe or sedan lover, having owned a series of BMW 1 and 2 series, and the small MB A series. Supply availability had an impact on this, because getting a new car from either BMW or Audi was a many month situation (6 or more!), but she drove this Volvo and realized she really liked how it felt on the road, as well as loving the styling. Have only had it for about 10 days, but so far we are happy shoppers.

As a retired Volvo employee, I have owned 27 different Volvo models. Now at the age of 75, I ordered my first XC40 Ultra, but only with a B4 engine, which I also test drove. From what I know, I will appreciate the digital rearview mirror extra. You can see the whole world behind you, even in the dark. What made me order an XC40 in particular, apart from the driving experience, was that the car In a new American crash test, the Volvo XC40 received the highest rating. No other car model proved to be as safe. Since 1995, the independent American traffic safety institute IIHS (The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) has conducted tough crash tests on the market's most popular car models.

I have a 2021 X1 BMW, before this I had a 2014 X1 BMW that I traded in after 140k miles. Never a problem. I like the X1 because it has very good acceleration, handles very well, is easy to control in rain, snow and ice. I especially like the cruise control and the self-imposed speed limit warning - I set mine to 85 because it is very easy to lose awareness of speed in this car! The cost here in the US is also very reasonable, around $40k with a discount if you finance.

Actually the transmission in the XC40 is the same as in the X1/X2. If you get the Polestar Engineered upgrade on the XC40, the map is much better than stock. Nice review in any case. In the UK you have far more engine choices than we do in the States. I have the T5 XC40 which I traded my Q5 for. Q5 was a much faster car, but very somber to drive. XC40 is just downright fun. For those fans of TopGear out of the UK, James May pointed out (correctly) that ultra-stiff suspensions and race set-ups actually can make a car less fun to throw around in the corners. Nothing beats uber performance (I would gladly trade the XC40 for a M3!) but in day-to-day driving the XC40 is just fun while keeping (somewhat) within legal limits on public roads. Stays a comfortable car when you just want to cruise or chill.
@441meatloaf2 жыл бұрын
That would be too expensive. Once you started added more and more options on Volvo it actually becomes much more expensive than either X1 or Q3. Not sure about how UK pricing is, but in Canada Volvo XC40 top trim on par with Q3 45 Sline and BMW, Volvo you end up paying well over 65K CAD, especially if you want advanced LED options (which honestly is a must have). Q3 45 with Sline maxes out at 51K and BMW maxes out at 58K. Volvo is overall much more expensive.

BMW X1 gave me the best performance out of all of them (with the sports package). It's freaking me out looking at this video becuase I have the exact color as the BMW in this video and that one has the sports package. I had problems with the Audi's steering and while in Germany they just paint yellow lines for new lanes when they're doing construction so the car kept fighting me where as the BMW just vibrates the wheel if it thinks you're leaving the lane. The Benz also had some handling issues I didn't like and the price tag to have the exact same packages was substantially higher and I like the BMW interior better. I went with the X1. It's hands down my favorite crossover and I've driven quite a few crossovers. (The Volvo crossover was actually pretty nice also but I was buying American spec vehicles when I was in Germany and I couldn't find a Volvo dealership that would honor the American warranty out there where as the BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Volkswagen dealerships had no problems with honoring the American warranties).

This is a year old..i have the 2021xc40 r design, and i test drove same, including Lincoln.. The Lincoln has the luxry interior, by far the best. However, i chose xc40.. easy choice. Lincoln exterior is better than bmw, audi, but overall the xc was my top choice. Driving in eco mode is great, so dynamic and comfort is an additional plus. Interior is above basic, not luxury, like inscription, but sporty, which fits the design. The bmw reminds me of a short station wagon, and audi a bigger car( crossover). XC looks like an suv, but drives like a luxry car/suv/crossover, so i feel like i have the best combo. Also, the packages are priced nicely. Great review..thank you.

Is that what they call a first world problem having to open the back door to flip the rear seats?
@DavidStenbeck6 жыл бұрын
I think the first world problem is climbing into the boot of the Volvo to flip the seats instead of using the buttons to do it

Audi inundated the infotainment and cluster with digital dashes and went full screen set-up in the front; can't be bothered to put electrical switches/actuators for fold-down seats in the back. Bruh. I do quite like the Q3 over the X1. Would go for the Q3 over the other two since the X1 really doesn't seem to offer much as far as the detail department is concerned, and I already own '18 Volvo S90, so the Q3 would be a nice switch up from the XC40, but I do like the XC40.

The rear seats in the Volvo can be folded down electrical too

Looking at purchasing one of these on sat (inscription) I believe the electric fold down is an extra cost is that correct?

When you guys are doing comparison videos, more graphics should be used, for example, prices popping up and staying until Mat finishes that segment et cetera. It would help the spectator better.

There is no BMW or Audi or M. Benz or Jaguar owners who even THINK of comparing their vehicles to a … VOLVO! Volvo is there with Nissans and Fords and Buick! smh

I like Volvo exterior. It's AMAZING. I'm buying this one hands down. Q3 interior is really nice though.

hope you like no light in the rear compartment, blind spots, a dangerous to use screen for everything on the dash and a sun visor that does not slide, and for all that money,no heated seats. Sorry I bought it.

I had the brand new Audi q3 fresh off the line when they redid the model- waited 6 months for it to come in. Absolute fnng nightmare of a car. Nothing worked on it. Dealership told me to turn off a portion of the safety features - it was causing all the issues. Car kept sensing traffic and coming to immediate stop when there was nothing around it. Took to dealership several times. In the end, i sold it, less than a year old. (My two previous vehicles were a Toyota Siena mini van that I kept for 10 years, and a Lexus r350 which i bought used a year old, and kept for 8 years.) My girlfriends brother bought the new q1? And had tremendous issues- but not with car stopping. His brand new car has spent weeks in the shop getting stuff fixed - one of his biggest problems was the cell phone connecting to the car - he is a real estate agent so this was important - his cell would never connect properly. Finally a friend of mine leased a q3 even after i told them of my issues (yah, you are a woman, there was probably something there when your car applied the emergency brake) and their car came to an immediate stop on the 401 highway, and almost killed his wife and kid. The technology on the Audi sounds great- but they have not worked it all out, and it was a disaster for me. I seriously suggest you find someone with these new Audi’s (not the older models 5 years ago - they worked great- i was convinced to go Audi because of all the positive feedback) and ask them of their experiences before you buy.

@Carwow, please avail information on the availability of a spare wheel. To some people it is a must have, and the peace of mind of having one is worth more than the boot space.
