FIRST DRIVE: 2018 Volvo XC40 T5 AWD R-Design in Malaysia 

It is definitely a good buy. For the quirky fella who wants some premium touch without being too flashy. Great commentary btw!

Great review. I bought the fully loaded UK first edition 290 bhp D4 diesel version R Design XC40 in crystal met white. It looks premium without shouting flashy. Engine has lots of torque and I get 38-42 miles to the UK gallon on average with suburban driving. Comfort safety and tech is off the scale, and the sporty R Design's slightly stiffer suspension copes well with cornering, not bad for an SUV. In fact I really can say it puts a smile on my face every single day I drive it, and I've had mine a year now. That's a lot of satisfaction for the price.

I booked this XC40 fusion red colour and estimate to be deliver on March. I tell you guys this is far better than GLA200 which i booked&cancel later for this.

I enjoy matt’s review. Very professional and pleasant

I don’t know why you bother mentioning Aisin vs ZF since the X1 also uses the same identical Aisin transmission. ZF don’t do a FWD 8 speed hence the reason BMW have moved to Aisin for their torque converter option. It would be better to care BMW’s implementation of the Aisin which does shift better. That said, getting the Polestar upgrade for the XC40 seems to improve the ratios between gears and I notice a big improvement over the non-polestarred version.

good review, looking forward to drive mine in Thailand soon :)

After watching the new V60 XC, I kinda prefer it over the XC40. Jacked up station wagons are rare in Malaysia.

i'm wondering if those rubberized interior material will get sticky after sometime? Coz usually these material are great to the touch at first but over a period of time it gets gooey...

I saw lots of good positive comments, but after 2 years I hardly see any of this cx40 on Malaysian roads. What happen?

Great commentary

Saw this car when i was at PACE. Nice car overall. The only issue I have with the car is the rear seat. It's far too upright for my liking and the thigh support is lacking.

Good job in explaining the details!

Thanks for the thorough review! Can you tell me what colour the car is? Glacier silver og thunder grey i assume?

And this is after Geely acquired Volvo. Good Job Geely!

XC40 is a handsome looking compact suv, but I reckon it should be a 2 door coupe (like evoque) rather than odd looking 4 door. pretty tight and small rear door/mirror. not very comfy at the back, or perhaps they design it only for kids, dogs and cats

This car share same platform witg the SX11 is it?

price not for youngster

I wanted to switch my car to this Volvo SUV, but unfortunately it don't Smart Active Driving Panel like Mazda for smooth driving experience.

Good review, thank you.

Wassup with the formal dressing

My god it looks so much more expensive than its rivals.

So no way this thing is twice the value of a current Mazda CX-5??

5 months wait so I bought the Inscription D4 auto showroom model!

I find the XC40 pivoting dog guard boot grill way better than the dog harness, you can pivot it up when not in use and it sits against the ceiling in the boot but I leave it in place as it's not intrusive.

Very good Video 👍😊

brother your eyes with big dark circle, please take a good rest...looking forward more video from you~haha

BTW BMW X1 uses the same Aisin gearbox as the Volvo and not the ZF as mention by you! Shifting quality should be similar so no biased reporting please!
