The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones, headphones are highly recommended!

Here's the equipment I use (with affiliate links):

I'm also the producer for the Winding Road YouTube Channel:

Thanks for watching!

That was me in the m5!! Always knew you filmed in my area. I’m always in-between Ann Arbor and Livonia and Farmington all the time! I couldn’t believe it when I saw my car, would have never known it was you, I would have said something!

volvo interior never gets old, so classy

[DaCoder]

I hope more manufacturers will start offering more interesting interior colors than black or white with accents.
The blue carpets looks really nice.

I bought this car and took delivery in April. Amazing car.

Drove one 2-3months back, really nice experience. It's fairly quiet and.. well a volvo, guess that explains it best. Unfortunately i dont wanna wait like 15 months before i can get one

How is your 850? We need a new Video :D

This video may have been shot before, but software version 2.2 now supports CarPlay!

Okay, so I had the chance to drive my S70 T5 and a C40 back to back thanks to a dealership connection I have and I was absolutely blown away by the acceleration. Interior is still very volvo Xc40, back is hard to see out of. It's a weird sensation not hearing any engine noise but your head gets thrown back into the seat. I got a lot of looks driving it around town.

8:48. Love your videos all day long... but this is a leather-free interior... which is freaking awesome. :)

[PSDetails]

Looks like everyone is getting better with the electrics. 408 HP is decent. Range sketches me out a bit.

Apple CarPlay just launched on the polestar 2 so I assume it will shortly come out for the c40

[Allcarnews]

Have lots of these at work….. selling OK but customers are turned off by the range and the interior plastics even though it’s built pretty solid, also everyone hates the android system lol

[thatevchick]

Cannot wait to try out this car for my channel. Did you like it better than the Polestar

Carplay update just deployed a week ago (2.2) here in the UK

[diydrivenGA]

It's a solid EV and a good car, the issues are the infotainment not aging well and likely go EOS earlier than say a Tesla, the battery life and drive unit longevity vs a Tesla and the biggest one not addressed by any reviewer (and I've watched many this week): your proximity to a good Volvo dealer for any issues that will crop up. All EVs will require a visit to a dealer for something.

Last one has to be how the car turns on/off....this makes "idling" the car impossible, makes anything like dog mode a challenge, and not sure what that means for preconditioning before charging while parked for an extended time.

[UnobtaniumsQuickReviews]

When you say "1.5" above your head", is that with the back of your head against the head rest, or floating forward? I ask because this kindof standardizes things if you list it with head against headrest.

[Joeromano]

226 miles. Volvo. For people who don't travel much. Lol

[ojslush]

Can you please let me know where those dunes are that you took that black Ford raptor out on on one of your videos from five years ago that we watch all the time

[Johan]

CarPlay is available now, sadly not wireless

[caglioso]

That range just ain’t cutting it for the price.
