2019 Volvo XC40 Review - They've Got Another Winner

The compact luxury premium CUV/SUV is a very hot market with vehicles like this new Volvo XC40, Porsche Macan, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Jaguar E-Pace, Audi Q3, Cadillac XT4.

[@deu8894]

This is a really good looking luxury compact CUV, The amount of practicality in it is commendable for the size. I also like the boxy exterior look. This looks great inside-out I think

Hey, great review! This confirms everything I love about my own UK First Edition fully loaded R Design D4 XC40 in crystal white. I just love this car, it puts a smile on my face every day without a fail. I would also recommend a few extra protectors, adding mud flaps give mine a chunky look, the hinged volvo dog/luggage guard is excellent, and so is the volvo boot mat protector.

I have the XC40 Momentum in light blue and beige interior, I did not wanted to pay for the R Design :( haha but I love it. I only would love to have the premium audio system bcause with android play I use waze all the time. . No car is perfect but I love it. Fun to drive, beautiful, good quality. Good interior space and thank you for your comment about the shifts control. PLEASE...you get use to it in 1 day. I would change some things like the driver's seat is a little bit too short. The "tablet"....you need to give the first 5, 10 seconds once you start the car to let it load 100%. If not, it will be laggy. And the semi autonomous system....I would love if the car could drive it self for more than....15 seconds. I love to press the gas when light turns green. Feels very agile. Summary, I love this vehicle, even when my dream is the new V60. And impossible dream.....the convertible if one day they bring it back.

Just moved to Germany and looking at the Volvo XC40. I'd be curious if you compared it to the fully loaded VW Tiguan given the fairly equal size.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

No I haven’t but the Tiguan in North America is much bigger than the XC40.

[@namami-govinda]

It's marvellous drive

[@michalklucz6907]

6:25 the answer is very simple. in North America you simply don't care about the parking space, as your spaces could fit pickup trucks. However in Europe to park my compact size estate I have to correct my position five times to be in the middle and not to touch any line (or I can get a ticket). With traditional automated gearbox it's dead simple 'front','backward','front' here, I have to double my movements, every single time.

[@QueLastima]

Not necessarily. I live in NYC and ability for a car to execute tight parallel parking is a very important requirement.

The auto park solves one dilemma but creates another, while it means people will thankfully now park between the lines, it however takes too long to execute that manoeuvre. In a busy carpark this will just cause delays and jams 🤷🏻‍♂️ and who knows what that frustration will lead on to

[@Insidema2013]

Since you have drove the 2019 RDX, which one would you say has a better ride for everyday driving.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

RDX has a better everyday ride in my opinion plus bigger.

[@Insidema2013]

Thanks

[@jackyuehengxu3665]

RDX is a more bang-for-buck car than XC40. It also has less rolling, in my opinion. The materials of the new RDX's interior are better quality too.

[@jeffs6090]

But you're paying a good $10k more for that RDX with better materials. They are different classes, so really not an equal comparison. RDX is bigger, more hp, softer leather, etc. I drove it too and did not like the bigger size. Also, the brake was very spongy! Really need to push the pedal hard before braking happens. The XC40 is truly the best small CUV out there. Any of it's real competition to have the same options costs up to $10k more.

[@louisewells2737]

My future car

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Nice review, very good observations. I do have a complaint though. I don't get "unmistakable Volvo boxy look." That was the 70s-90s, not now. The previous xc60 (2010) was jelly bean shaped with soft edges and quite rounded. The previous v60 even more so. The P2 Volvo s60 was a heavy shoulder rather rounded shaped car. The estates had a straight back, but really weren't boxy besides that. Let's retire "boxy" with Volvo. That's a dated perspective at this time. Most Volvos have a sleek shape and this is a car that has a strong look, and at the size rounding it would make it inefficient to the space. The rear end does slope some. At this point, Volvo is a chic, designer alternative Euro brand. Alternative to the Germans, which I find boringly designed and overly serious but with refined road manners, and the Jag, Cadillac, which I find more interesting but not as complete road manners. Volvo does road manners the Volvo way so they don't quite feel German and committed to that level of road manners, yet feel firm, solid, and hold the road well in a very Volvo way. They're worth considering but people should drop all notions of what Volvo's used to be. They're now chic cars.

[@JakeBayCity]

Volvo owns this class

[@lifeewlani]

okay but did anyone see the parking in the camera....

[@melodytalks3432]

XC40 is a nice car and smallest crossovers agter XC60. For a mini SUV the price is too sharp and not affordable for overwhelming majority. Renault has made a EV mini suv electric car which is hitting market back-end of 2019/ beginning 2020 and promised price cap ofcunder £10,000 pounds, wow... It definitely promising and worthwhile waiting for.

[@mrnoname7370]

melodytalks true price is high but Volvo is a high end brand along with Cadillac and Audi. Cars for the majority are Nissan, Ford, and Chevy

[@princewood1314]

Lynk&co might be a good choice for you. Same platform but much lower price.

[@bigbadbear2962]

melodytalks It’s the same price as its competitors, the Renault won’t be luxurious at all and people who buy an XC40 want luxury. There is not point in saying it’s not worth paying luxury prices for a luxury car and comparing it to something similarly priced to a Dacia Duster. Edit: If you are talking about the Renault KC E then it’s from under 25 grand, not 10 grand. However if you convert it to pounds it will be around 17 grand, much rather have a Hyundai kona.

[@firefox39693]

Porsche made the Macan to compete against GLC, X3/X4, and Q5 and XT5. It's in the category above.

[@DeadRedLipBombshellHutto]

But Volvo beats them in Higher speed when it comes to it's high performance

[@neilbrandon]

Brian thanks for the informative review.. Digital cluster is fab, and lots of goodies... BUT... Some points to consider for potential buyers: 1. The turning circle is wide..Not so urban or city friendly. Its not so compact when it comes to doing a tight turn parking or u turn. 2. The the built in blind spots at the rear quarters might be fashionable, but clearly break the decades of safety first that Volvo represented 3. The rear seat back is quite vertical and has NO recline at all. Very uncomfortable for me (everyone should try and compare) 4. Needs rear USB/chargers for the rear passengers. (please check in your region as this could be included) 5. Would be nice to have PHEV and EV versions asap

[@kevindam1946]

The Porsche Macan is not in the same class as this XC40 and the others you listed. The XC40/Q3/GLA/XT4/E-Pace/X1 are subcompact luxury crossovers, while the Macan is bigger and is a compact luxury crossover.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Yes but the Macan is a pretty small compact SUV. I’d say it’s in the same class because I like both of them a lot and would consider both for my own vehicle. Just finished driving the new Macan GTS and have to say, it’s a pretty small vehicle.

[@kevindam1946]

​@@EverydayReviews2022 It's a little small, but definitely more in the compact class than subcompact. For reference, the Q3 and XC40 have a 105 and 106 inch wheelbase while the Q5 and XC60 have a 111 inch and 112 inch wheelbase. The Macan has a 110 inch wheelbase. Also the Macan is priced MUCH higher than subcompact luxury crossovers, it's even more expensive than XC60/Q5 prices.
