We own an XC90 because of the Xtra space , but the XC40 has most of the great features we like in the larger model. If you are considering a high-end SUV, check out a volvo they are terrific

[@NorthernChev]

The idea behind the double-bump gear change is to prevent accidental gear selection while utilizing the center console. Say, while inserting your beverage in a cup holder or by simply bumping it with your hand by accident. Remember, there is no detent with this device. There is no locking “slot” for D or R. It’s easily bumped, like a joystick. The double-bump is a well-thought out implementation to prevent accidental changing of gear.

[@Mau105]

yes and BMW figured this out year ago, very poor thinking

[@miks564]

Why not just having a button in the stick? From gear to neutral, no button. From forward to reverse or vice-versa, press the button. Or why not eliminate the stick all together? . Using it for manual shifting is a bad joke anyway. Everybody gears up and down by moving the stick forward or backwards, Volvo decided to do it sideways.

[@NorthernChev]

@@miks564 ...or ...or... or why don't they just have a neural-net connected straight to the driver? Yeah,, so they can "think" the gears into changing.

[@miks564]

@@NorthernChev That’s right. The gearbox is perfectly fine for those who never care about changing them manually whenever they want or need.

[@user-vp3qd1yb2d]

So I will say I've driven this car for over a year now and the shifter is absolutely the best feature in the entire car. It feels odd for about a week and then you'll realize how much better it is. Those two clicks can be done much faster and more precisely than a regular shifter can it just takes a little to get used to. The navigation system is amazing as well. it shows up in between the dials and tells you how far your next turn is and which lane you need to be in to make that turn. Overall incredible choice purchasing one of these and I've loved every moment of it.

[@rawamothoa9935]

YAAAAYY!!! I’m so excited I came across your page!!!! FIRST let me say, this was a GREAT review, best I’ve seen for the XC40!!! So, I’ve had my Toyota Camry (brand new when I got it) since 2010, so I’m very much overdue for an upgrade. And part of the reason I haven’t upgraded yet is that I haven’t come across anything that I’ve really just loved and wanted to have, in both sedan and suv. With having my Camry for so long I do know I really want something that is different and sleek to the eye but also something that isn’t going to be ridiculously priced because this will be my everyday vehicle. I had narrowed my search down to two smaller SUV’s, the Volvo XC40 (possibly XC60 but most likely the XC40) and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. I fell in love with the look of the exterior and interior of the Stelvio immediately and I was set on getting that suv!!! BUT, the more I researched and the more reading I did about the Stelvio the more I was not happy with this suv. It’s reliably, maintenance, and a few other things are some of the first things I think about when I purchase a new vehicle. Also, I was not aware until very recently that Fiat Chrysler owned the Alfa Romeo brand. That’s a no go 🙅🏻‍♀️ for me. Now, I’m pretty much obsessed with the XC40 and I’m 99.98% sure it’s the suv I’m going to buy! I do always keep my eye out for a sedan or suv that stands out and has a different look than others on the road but I don’t think I’m going to find anything that draws my attention more than the look of this particular suv! For now anyway!! Thanks for the great review because I haven’t done a test drive yet and it was great to really see the inside in more depth than what is on the Volvo website!!!

[@ShiftingLanes]

Thank you for the comment! We’ve done some of the other vehicles you mentioned so make sure you check those out as well!

I’ve also got a T3 automatic which I love, I was wondering if it would be underpowered but in my view it isn’t; restricted to 112mph anyway plus 70mph speed limit! Fuel consumption could be better though, I’m getting around 36 mpg when used mainly on short runs. I have achieved 44 on several long runs. 🇬🇧

[@islandon22]

We have a 2020 UX 200. We didn't get the F Sport because of all those gaudy and headache inducing red accents. Volvo has not been stellar in the dependability department lately, which is concerning considering how few Volvo dealerships are out there. But it definitely has a lovely exterior and many little design accents, if that's what you're looking for. My best friend's wife bought the Recharge and swears by it. So that's good. Both these cars are geared toward mostly a single person or a couple. Trying to push this or the UX to do family hauling is a STRETCH. Very professional presentation. Tks.

You guys are great... when you're in Carlisle (if there is a Carlisle this year) swing by the Volvo Dealer in Mechanicsburg and I'll be glad to let you take any of our cars for a spin and quick review. With the heated seats, don't forget that there is a climate setting to let the heated seats and wheel turn on automatically to the level you want when it's cold. I very rarely have to use the touch screen to adjust it. Also, none of the XC40s are build in China... they are built in Belgium. I find the shifter to offer really positive control and have fewer mis shifts with the XC40 than the other lines. Frankly if there isn't a clutch, I don't care much how it goes into gear =-D 4C is available actually. I have only ordered one in with it and that was last year, but it's still on the options list for R design and Inscription. (last year it was available across the board)

Well it varies by location, but for an example, I would sell someone the 100k maintenance for around $2700... which includes all recommended maintenance, and if you wanted a 100k warranty it would probably run around $3300... so then factor in maybe 3 sets of tires, a few wiper blades, maybe a set or two of brakes depending on how you drive. Obviously some unknowns, but I think generally that is a realistic way to determine a real cost of ownership. As for longevity... as with most newer motors they do start to burn oil over 100k... it's more noticeable because of the 10k oil change interval, so on high mileage cars you may be adding oil between oil changes. If you're gonna run them a long time then I would work with your local dealer to pick out a car and put it into their loaner fleet and then buy it for a little discount as a CPO which would give a 10 year unlimited mile warranty for less than what a 100k new car extension warranty costs.

I tested one but the short wheelbase made it buck and the t5 wasn't doing it for me. Ordered an xc60 t6 instead. Still, for the right person it's a bargain and it's loaded with tech.

[@swesleyc7]

I had a loaner XC60 and really liked it. I needed a XC40 however because the shorter wheelbase helps me with driving rocky trailheads.

Have an xc 40 from new in December 2019. Had a Jaguar xe before but need a wheelchair for my wife so got the x 40 r design automaticProblems started in January when the car kept changing into manual without warning.revs went to 6000 but managed to control it with the paddles.been in the Volvo dealership twice and cannot be sorted.going in again in a couple of days yet again.would not go to auto all the way home a few days ago..love the look of the car and way it drives normally but this fault is driving me mad.have only done 1100 miles since new .Hope Volvo can cure fault but am not hopeful as they do not seem very interested.will keep fingers crossed.there is a recall also re the brakes and this will be done when cargoes in. Gef the bike

Any update on this Geoffrey? I am considering buying a used one here in South Africa. From my limited knowledge gear box issues are quite expensive. Don't want to fall trap to high bills 😀

[@howardcarter3468]

Also can they provide a Volvo trash bin liner for the centre console trash bin...clearly that is a very important feature of this car

[@kmuinde]

I like shifters than buttons or rotary knob for gear change

How comfortable is the driver’s seat? This is a deal maker/breaker for me.
