The 2019 Volvo XC40 Is the Coolest Volvo in Decades

CHECK OUT CARS & BIDS

The 2019 Volvo XC40 is the coolest, funkiest Volvo in years. Today I'm reviewing the XC40 to show you why it's so cool -- and I'm driving the Volvo XC40 to show you why the XC40 should be on your shopping list.

It has a damn trash can and 98 grocery hooks and you only give it a 7 for practicality? Never in my life have I felt so betrayed. This is some red wedding level plot twist, nobody could have seen this coming.

I thought I knew you, Doug.

The trash can idea is one of the coolest things in any car. I wish all cars had it.

It’s not a credit card holder. Although it can be used for credit cards, the main use is for tickets in car parks (very common in Europe).
You go to park your car in a private paid car parking and you receive a ticket so you can pay later when you exit the park. You store there the ticket so you don’t lose it and they’re always at hand

If I had a dollar for every time he said quirky in this video, I'd have a Volvo xc40

[impatrickt]

The credit card holder is actually for parking passes. This is actually really damn smart.

Male Symbol is also ancient symbol for iron. Swedish metal.

[tonyswietochowski]

Doug, your scoring system is “quirky”.

[glendaly]

I have no idea how this guy rates cars. He'll sing it praises about a category and then give it a 4 out of 10?

[paolotube]

Doug the type of guy to cancel his Uber ride if the driver’s car model doesn’t have enough cool quirks and features

[henrikstjernfeldt]

I'm a big Volvo fan, and I just wanted to correct you. The volvo logo is not the male symbol, but in fact the ancient symbol for iron that was used when volvo was founded. This was used because the Cars were made of swedish metal.

Think the soft engine cover is to protect pedestrians on impact when they hit the engine hood. At least it sounds like a thing Volvo would do.

[ETBASS]

I remember the good ole' days when Doug was 6'2-6'3

[Rickmakes]

The credit card holder seems like a handy place to store a parking garage access card.

That little trash can is a brilliant idea. Doesn't take away much space and would greatly reduce people's tendencies to throw straw wrappers or receipts etc out of the windows and back into nature. There are even aftermarket products that perform the same function but to have it built in to the vehicle is awesome. Good job Volvo

[JayLew]

Why don't more cars have built in trash cans?? That is such a good idea

[arvadacounselingcenterinc.]

I recently drove this model and sold the benz, and my 2018 model is truly amazing! Thanks, Volvo.

[kodobe]

Doug the type to get into a wreck and give it a Doug score.

[Dennell_Mount_and_Blade]

Doug the type of guy that doesn't respond to Doug the type of guy comments, but in secret he loves it and giggles like a school girl after reading them.

[NewBrunswickRailfanner]

doug is the type of guy to name his dog: dog demuro

[JudsonVanDine]

Was a German car fanatic for decades but pulled the trigger in 2020 on an XC40 T5. 3 years on and it's still the best car I've ever owned hands down. Quality is on par with the Benz's, BMW's and Audi's i've owned over the years, but practicality is higher and there is just some intangibly fun about it that has made me a Volvo convert for life.
