OK, so I just bought the Volvo XC40, and I am having a great experience so far. I took a while to make my decision and I feel that the value offered by it is really high. Regarding the brake feel, I had that same discomfort the first day, and then I started to understand that the braking system is quite smart. Because it has such a good sensor system, the brakes behave so you brake gradually when there is no need for sudden braking, and they behave very sensitively when needed. It does feel like one has less control over the braking, but once you begin to trust the vehicle, you become more comfortable with it.

[@edswrld]

How does the car know 🤔

[@RealKevGotEm]

I love the braking. I like that they are sensitive

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Finally, My perfect SUV for me to buy one.

[@rachelt.2872]

I just got the Volvo XC40 Plus yesterday and I'm also not too big of a fan of the brakes but the rides are so smooth and I feel safe and comfortable in it and that's what was most important to me. One other thing I'm not too familiar with is the start/stop feature when you stop at a light and the a/c turns off I'm not too sure how to turn that feature off but once I do I'll be able to enjoy it even more :)

[@davidflamand6812]

The XC40 is actually built in Ghent, Belgium, not in Sweden.

[@Hunter-nu7uw]

Made with Swedish parts and a Japanese transmission.

[@jayv2447]

No Chinese crap parts on it?

[@ValerieBowman]

There is another easter egg which is a little plastic flap on the driver side windshield for parking passes. ❤

[@roomOfEmboss]

I see volvo, i press "like"

[@Moondoggy1941]

Thank you for getting to the price quickly, I do not have the patience for vlog'ers burying the price somewhere within in a 13 minute video.

[@SethFarber-cn1zt]

If you drive at night you will notice lighted door handles, as well as other interior lighting such as at passenger feet.

[@celiacbabe58]

I love the vertical line infotainment system. Never cared for the horizontal line versions that stick up above the dash. I want to tuck it down to LOL. Love the seats, beautiful seats, like the heated feature of in 2nd row.

[@tenantrep]

Are ventilated seats available?

[@AllStars2525]

Your videos are always very thorough and your homework shows. Did you find a lot of body roll in turns? I'm thinking of buying one. Thanks. PS--could the regenerative braking system have something to do with the soft braking pedal?

[@rubberduck3788]

I was really keen on an XC40 but after test driving it for a few hours, the body roll and quite sluggish gearbox started to dampen the cars appeal to me really heavily, I ended up signing for a new Audi Q3 due to be delivered in February/March. I'd recommend test driving the XC40 though, you might not mind the body roll/gearbox as much as I did, I tried the B4P in the UK.

[@cypress4539]

​@@rubberduck3788 What do you mean by "body roll and sluggish gear box"? Please explain. Thank you

[@RealKevGotEm]

@@cypress4539slight body roll, cause it’s very heavy and a little box. It’s a lot for such a little thing. Also Audi Q3 has VERY bad fuel efficiency 😂 the dealers admit to it too. So that person is a fool

[@Moondoggy1941]

I like the blue color on the 2024 XC40. Does that Fjord Blue Metallic color come on the 2021 models?

[@rudinatelaj71]

Very nice

[@stevewilkinsontunes8747]

Is that awd for uk on a b3?

[@robertspengler9981]

My 2019 has rear headrest that drop by a push of the button on the center display. My car is the top-of-the-line inscription. Wonder if they still have that feature in 2024?

[@ValerieBowman]

They do. I just test drove one.

[@donaldnesbitt3761]

What is the straight line with a circular 'A' that turns green above the '0' in the tachometer?

[@normanh38]

Start/Stop technology, green is active, white is available

[@michaelj.weinstein4016]

What is "dang quick"

[@BLaw707]

Does the driver seat come with extension for thigh support to accommodate taller drivers?

[@almonte27]

Yes it does, mine came with it.

[@kimlees131]

The core does not but the plus does

[@frankd3505]

Regen braking feels like hard pedal, my experience

[@teamSUMMERFORD]

If I do Euro-delivery, can I get wool seats? I don’t see wool as an option on the US website, but they’re offered in Europe

[@RealKevGotEm]

It’s cloth like. Not wool.

[@teamSUMMERFORD]

@@RealKevGotEmyou don’t Volvo, do you?

[@RealKevGotEm]

@@teamSUMMERFORD I have this car. I’ve seen the cloth it’s not wool

[@teamSUMMERFORD]

@@RealKevGotEmI’m talking about the grey wool interior that Volvo advertises as wool in Europe. Use your google, Boomer. It’s not advertised in the USA.

[@RealKevGotEm]

@@teamSUMMERFORD dumb f*ck I’m not a boomer. Don’t need to be rude!

[@rikkiru2225]

Spare tire or fix/flat kit?

[@kr8882]

In the UK it comes with a flat kit but I paid extra for a spare.

[@st3ru]

When will this new safer xc40 come out?

[@disasterofalldisasters]

Doesn't this one have the highest NCAP rating possible?

[@Tbay007]

This is probably stupid, but does it come with a spare tire, or a road patch kit?

[@goldpony]

I always mention that when I touch on the cargo area right after the exhaust clip. I don't remember off the top of my head tho but it's in the video. 👍🏻

[@darrenharris6319]

like you video but the car was biult in Gent Belgium

[@bobboberton1841]

I am having trouble finding if this car has Android auto? This is a must for us but not listed in specs anywhere.

[@MB-zz5re]

It has it and carplay as well.

[@bobboberton1841]

@@MB-zz5re Thanks for the reply. Decided on another car as I emailed 2 dealers this questions and didn’t get a response. I figured if their pre sales is this bad, I couldn’t rely on their post sales.

[@MB-zz5re]

@@bobboberton1841 which one did you choose?

[@FernandoFelixSolisCortes]

Infosystem of the car is based on Google, so, yes!

[@tonyrego4969]

This car you keep showing is not Vapor Grey

[@goldpony]

Correct

[@user-bq8hy3vd2w]

He does say that it is Onyx Black!

[@mikeholiday5970]

The hook on the glove box is for a ladies purse, not groceries

[@nancyspeer]

The glove box is for anything you want. (”Ladies” like to keep their purses close by…like on the floor of the passenger seat)…so they can hop out fast and shop!

[@ChrisHolland55]

No, no, no……the hook is definitely for the Chinese takeaway, so it doesn’t spill all over the nice carpet….👌

[@minipandora22]

❤ 🇸🇪 ❤

[@comerelax..2443]

I just hate that 80s looking tv screen

[@ElPierdolito]

Eeeh the changes are not THAT big, don't over do it :D

[@fatbowe]

My 1999 Ford Ranger has a better sound system 😂

[@MB-zz5re]

Yeah the standard is pretty crap. Very muddy and like the reviewer said not very loud.

[@fredlabonte8946]

Chinese junk

[@Hunter-nu7uw]

Do you feel the same way regarding Lotus and Polestar owned by the same Chinese company, the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group? Having leased multiple Volvos in the past decade, I have not noticed any compromise in quality and safety features. What I have noticed is the technology embedded in these cars has evolved light years during Chinese ownership. In three years time, they keep evolving the state of the art technology significantly. 2024 models are a significantly advanced tech wise over 2021 models, for example. Volvo was always behind the times in the electronic technology department. Not so today.

[@fredlabonte8946]

@@Hunter-nu7uw i talk about recent electric Volvo , not more than chinese junk - volvo is not more than chinese junk , i have 2022 electric volvo , change battery under waranty new in the box ( MADE IN CHINA ) , and now electric motor noisy , dealer order new one in the box ( MADE IN CHINA ) , why i pay for volvo and i get a CHINESE JUNK ??? next time i will buy a Geely , same car at half price
