We’ve all got to be very careful with Forums. YES these people have legitimate concerns but people who’ve experienced issues will make a loud noise. We expect very little to go wrong with premium and mid range modern cars. So if something does go wrong, we’re dissatisfied/ angry. The vast majority of people probably don’t have issues and they don’t contribute to forums saying how happy they are. So we’re only getting one side of the story. My 2018 D5 Inscription with air suspension would be in the top 3 cars I’ve ever owned and NOTHING has gone wrong with it since new. 80,000 km and I’m very happy. I considered. BMW X3 and MB GLC. So glad I bought the Volvo.

I've been a close follower of your amazing video. Thank you for reviewing the XC40. 22 T5 owner here, your comments are spot on. Unrefined start stop, autonomous emergency braking triggers unnecessarily, and I have to replace my brake pads and rotors when it hits 22,000kms. I was really surprised. It is cheaper to replace them (OEM parts) in a workshop compared to Volvo dealership. Our fuel consumption is 10.5km/100km, mostly suburban driving. Not the best imo. Again, thank you for highlighting the child booster seat does not fit, it will help us to pick the right one in the coming months. Other than the above, its still a great car to daily. The build is solid and a very quiet cabin. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for making this video after my IG request a few months ago! My partner and I tested a few used models since then and found the T5 R-Design the was a much more enjoyable and premium feeling driving experience than the T4 or B4 engines. I'll probably steer clear of this one given the long term cost of ownership and lack of warranty on a used version unfortunately. Which is a shame as I still think they're one of the best looking and most practical SUV's on the road. Running the numbers, it works out better to buy a brand new Tesla Model Y on a novated lease than a used XC40 and even a used Rav4 or even an used NX hybrid over 5 years. Unpopular decision I know. Love the channel and the pod, keep up the great work!

Quick comment on the EVs. The XC40 Recharge and C40 have liquid cooled batteries unlike older EVs, and as long as the charging limit is set, e.g. to 80%, the battery doesn't really depreciate by time, but by kms driven. While its too early to say how bad it'll be, but if Teslas depreciation is comparable, one can expect it to depreciate fairly quickly at first ~10% in the first 100000km, then slowly, a further ~2-5% the next 100000km. Hence i wouldn't expect these to have a fraction of their range even at 20 years old. Also, here in Norway (special situation i know), the EV versions seem to keep their value better than the ICs.

With the XC40 electric and C40 electric the batteries are actually serviceable and recyclable. The system is a modular set up so when your battery start to deteriorate after 10 years Volvo can actually detect what cells are dying and pull them out from the car and replace them with new ones (much easier then a full big battery replacement) and then the cell that gets taken out is actually recycled as well, just a fun fact :)

I bought a brand new XC40 in October last year. Can't speak to long-term reliability or anything like yet, but I'll say that I love the experience so far. On the Google infotainment - I personally think it's pretty good, maybe most people with issues in the functionality department are comparing it to other current systems? I came from a 2014 FG MKII Falcon, so any manner of modern infotainment in a car is great to me haha. That said, I've found it to be user-friendly. No real complaints on it, but I suppose not everyone will have the same experience. Enjoyed the video as usual! Keep up the great work.

As a long time Volvo owner, to me the XC40 was the very last of the half decent Volvos. The best were the P2 S60/V70 cars that ended in 2007. I have one of these and won’t get rid. They are much better engineered than newer cars. The new stuff today like the EC40 is Geely garbage and a Chinese con - only Volvo part of it is the badge. My friend has an XC40 and it’s nicer than the equivalent Qasquai, and the least offenof the premium small SUV. My money would go a Mazda CX or Honda CRV. The engine note is awful. Great review as always dude.

Looked to be a fairly reliable car with first impressions but with the question of long term reliability and maintenance costs being on the cards it definitely feels like one to avoid.

I've owned several generations of Volvos (P80, P1, P2, and P3) and by car the S90 (on the SPA platform) was the best. It's well designed for maintenance, parts weren't overly expensive if you source from an OE supplier rather than genuine, and it's just a great car to drive. These characteristics would be shared with all SPA platform Volvos, however not applicable to this XC40/C40 as it's on the CMA (Chinese designed) platform.

One issue with this car is they do not want you to service the vehicle yourself. A specific engine oil required by Volvo and it is not sold in the US;only to dealers. If you iu want it, you have to import and it cost about 60 for oil and filter Further more. There is no eng oil dipstick so you have to rely on what a sensor is telling you on the infotainment display.

Different category to the XC-40, the XC-40 is in the same category as the Lexus UX and Mazda CX-30. The NX and the CX-5 are in the midsize segment, so the XC-60 would be the main target for those.

I cross shopped a CX-5 Akera against an XC40 of the same year. After 4 years they were the same price but the depreciation on the Volvo was insane and the Mazda was about half the price for a major service. A lot of XC40s get dumped before their 75,000 kms service. Both are ok to work on. If I had to own one and work on it, CX-5 every time. The Volvo is the one you want to drive but it takes nearly double the time and effort to keep on the road. I haven’t found an XC40 over 75,000 kms that had a major service and didn’t have the sunroof channels rotted out

@@theairstig9164 I’d absolutely go for a CX-5 even over an XC-60 which is in the same size segment, disregarding price. I own a ‘22 CX-5 Akera with the 2.5T and it is an absolute joy to drive. The Mazda absolutely punches well above its weight.

@@rowdus6186 I haven’t and I don’t plan to unless it is a loan/hire, in fact an XC-60 is very low down on my list. I’m very satisfied with my CX-5 and I stand by what I say in that it punches well above its weight.

But the first 60,000 kms will be excellent. I am seriously thinking of getting one with over 100,000 kms on it just to see how bad they get. Waiting for the current market to not be the way it is. Lots of leased time bombs coming on to the market. If you know where to look you can spot them
