Just got my 2020 XC40 R Design, best car I’ve ever had by far. Love it, Swedish design shines throughout this car.

Like the exterior colors on this SUV. I thought it was a convertible at first. $33k for this vehicle with 16k miles seems a bit pricey to me. Two vids a day keeps Lori Away. We appreciate the effort Joe!! 👍

Wow, this guy knows his stuff. Unusual where most reviewers just run their usual cliche about safe and boxy and crap like that when talking about Volvo history. This guy knows about their performance history. Kudos.

I’m a die hard mini fan and volvos are the only other car I’d want! The seats alone in them make them worth the purchase

[YouDontWannaFightMe]

I absolutely love how Volvo injected so much character into such a tiny and efficient package. I love this color combo, but I’d personally go for the R-Design trim with the Cheetos orange interior carpeting. Also, my mom would totally kill to have a center console trash can on her 05 S60 like the one on this XC-40.

I searched YouTube for reviews on 5 SUV’s I was considering (first-time reader, by the way), and glad I did. It came down to the wire between the Honda CR-V (turbo) and the Volvo XC40 T5.
Bought my Volvo XC40 T5 two weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it. It’s zippy, sassy, and looks fantastic! Comfortable too, front and back. As for the “zonks” in this review, they don’t effect a thing. Thanks for a great review! My third Volvo, first SUV.

Would I like to see more Volvos featured on Raiti's Rides?
Absolutely!

This AWD XC40 T5 Momentum is a great base model. I think you and your viewers may have appreciated an AWD XC40 T5 in either R-Design trim or Inscription trim a lot more.

I'd love to see your review of the V60, V60 Cross Country, XC60 and XC90.
*skip the T5 versions of these and go with either T6 or T8 versions of these.

More Volvo models, please!

😯 Omg that trash can blew my mind! For the longest time I had always just used a takeout soda cup after it was empty. Despite being low-tech as hell, I would encourage ALL automakers to include a trash can in their cars! 😂

[ELP]

I'm zonking the ENGINE COVER. 😂😂😂

Swedish fish, twinkies, puking kids, abacus...is this a car review or suburban mom love it

The XC40 has a few peculiar things that you may not know about such as the Air Woofer under the hood on the cowl, the hidden slide out tray from the front of the drivers seat, credit card slots ( 2 places )
and the engine cover is soft foam. That’s Volvo for you. Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[JulezWinnfield]

That XC40 looks great in that white over red color scheme with those wheels.

[BenjaminMutuku]

You’ve been dropping all the videos that I’m currently editing! This is awesome. I’d prefer the XC 90. XC 40 exceeded my expectations! Interior was surprisingly impressive. Maintenance?

[DaniMrtini]

Test drove a s90 and boy, was it something. Been wanting a Audi a7 or a5 sportback but March may be the month I get a volvo. Plus I was quoted for car insurance cheaper with the Volvo vs Audi. Thanks for looking at this Volvo ! Been waiting for you to do these!

[georgeaguirre]

great funny informative review as always...I rather see your reviews than the others because of the humor....BTW - anybody notice at 11:30 minutes the "interesting things going on" comment - while hes driving into an active street fight going on....nice editing - hilarious!

[VictorLeEPICVIC]

Man, haven't heard about any new Volvo cars until today with this video. The XC40 T5 looks good, though!


Great vid, Joe! As always!

[vjabonador]

I just went into the Volvo web configurator for the XC40 and I find it a shame that the orange "tennis ball" interior lining is only available in the R-Design and not even on the red or blue exterior paints. I want that interior carpeting for the Momentum trim with the contrasting white roof, white side mirror caps and red exterior paint. Seriously, that sucks.

[holsteincowboy]

Great review.Sweden exported 5 billion USD worth of fish last year.Top export was cars at 25 billion USD

[thecliff]

I need to zonk your zonks. Fog lights and rear seat vents are part of option packages. You reviewed a stripped Momentum T5, and last year's model (why?). Surprised to hear someone calling T5 the "trim"; T5 is the powertrain, Momentum is the trim. And I'm zonking Joe for speeding in a residential area. But regardless, thanks for trying a Volvo!
