Volvo XC40 review

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Very nice car overall, with a great interior and plenty of space for 4, and good load space with the rear seats folded down. Like the fact you can store the parcel shelf under the boot floor as well. The T3 1.5 petrol feels a little under powered compared to other 1.5 SUV I’ve driven, and MPG isn’t the best, but unless you are towing or need a fast car, it’s fine for day to day use. Upgrading to have the heated windscreen, washers and interior is a must if your car is parked outside in the winter - well worth the money, although the remote climate setting can be temperamental due to the Wi-fi connection.

How reliable do you find the car?

Early days, but no issues so far.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Infotainment isn’t the best set up. Having the screen in the centre of dash means you sometimes find yourself taking your eye off the road to change radio stations. Ideally you use the voice commands, but there are a LOT to try and remember, or use the controls on the steering wheel. Cup holders are in the way if you have a manual gearbox.
