New Volvo XC40 2018 review – has Volvo finally become cool? | carwow Reviews

This is the all new Volvo XC40. It’s the smallest SUV that Volvo makes - and possibly the most eye-catching. Is this the most desirable Volvo ever? I get behind the wheel to find out if it has the substance to match the style.

The double front push for drive and double back push for reverse is a life saving feature. How many times have you seen or heard of a person crashing into a store or other cars when all the driver was trying to do was pull away or reverse. Doing it twice will ensure you driving in the direction you intended to. VOLVO IS KING safety all the time. Get it?

Nah I think the new XC60, XC90, S90 and V90 already made volvo cool. This one's design is not really for my taste.
But volvo needs to make a sports coupe version of the s90. I've seen some concepts and it would look really good.

I as a German sometimes get asked if I believe German cars are the best and I always answer that while we have incredibly beautiful cars for sure the Swedish are just as amazing and especially their safety equipment is insane

Mat. you have no idea how long i've been waiting for this..thank you

The Jag looks like a cheaper, plainer version of its bigger brother. This looks different from the bigger SUVs and actually goes into a more playful and sporty look. It΄s smaller but doesnt look cheaper like the Jag does.

Special effect off-roading at 2:57 😂😂😂

Holy shit matt, that chocolate logic was brilliant. You should start rating cars with chocolates:)

I really love Volvo, the cars are just so beautiful from the inside and outside.

Why do car reviewers inevitably choose a diesel model for the review when sales of diesels in the UK are in decline?

[markom]

Why does he keep saying its bad when the car gets loud when you rev it? Mostly you won't be revving it and it will be quiet, but when you want some fun it's actually cool to hear the engine roaring

[NuhanHidayat]

IDK why but this car reminds me of Google Pixel 2 😕
Edit: the first you saw it it looks ugly as fuck, but the more you look at it the less ugly it gets (just like Google Pixel).

I just went yesterday to try it out after visiting VW / Seat / BMW / Toyota / Audi and it was surpisingly good. As a 196 cm tall guy it was by far the best SUV on comfort level but also felt great on quality and what was also surprising is that the base version just lacks some features of the Rdesign which I sure won't use so base version is still great for me... that here is my next car gents...

Looks like a better choice than the Jag!!

The blind spot is quite bad but there is blis in the wing mirrors to show you where there is something in your blind spot also the thing in front of the armrest is a bin that you can remove and empty also you didn’t mention the wireless phone charging or the clever airwoofer instead of the normal subwoofers you’d get in any other cars that’s why you have massive door bins

Love watching these reviews of cars I never get

[gordonbennett]

Great video. I love ALL cars. I'm a car enthusiast. Thanks Mat.

[AlektronPrime]

Wow, quite some praise there, compared to the competition.
I agree with the thicker pillows diminishing the rear view BUT in this case, the C-pillar is meant to cover the shoulder area in case of lateral collision, so safety beats design.

[nomme]

Wow matty this is what i waited since it launch

[MeAndWifey]

@carwow - love the POV camera footage, could you incorporate this in more videos to see how it looks to drive the car with a real feel for that specific car

[MrAndrew]

It's a pretty good size & height for around town driving, parking. Have to come with a reversing camera. Definitely go for the 190kw diesel /manual combo. Shame it means losing 4wd/AWD.
