Would you buy the Volvo XC40 or the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA or the new BMW X1 (reviewing soon)!?

I've had multiple friends get the Volvo xc40 and xc60 and they have had 0 problems and their drive is Super safe and super reliable especially in a crash situation. Hands down best small luxury suv for families if you can afford it

I have enjoyed my 2019 version and the driving experience has been excellent . Regarding reliability, I had a trunk latch that needed replacement in the 2 years so far.. lately I have noticed the audio will go quiet at random times but not enough where it’s an issue, just a minor observation

[danielwhitaker]

Coming from someone who used to own an Audi Q3 and now owns an XC40, the screen in the Audi is pure garbage lol and the Volvo wins all the way.

Hands down the best compact suv on the market.

I've been driving this for 6 months and only now realized you can slide the parcel shelf under there wtf why did I not know this sooner

Just about to pick up my second one. Had a T5 Inscription Pro for the past 4 years and absolutely loved it - apart from one thing: the crystal gear knob came off twice. The first time Volvo replaced it under warranty, the second time I just used superglue as otherwise I would have had to replace the entire selector unit which would’ve cost £400+ !

[uttamgala]

Always enjoy your reviews man.. you seem like a rad dude!

[konstantinos]

I just realized that the Volvo symbol points to the lever than opens the hood. Nice :D

[PaulAlan]

Nice review. New to Volvo. Luv my XC40 T5, 2 months in. You all have to take one for a test drive if you r in the market.

[rzozaya]

Nice video... I liked your reliability remark, it's something that I've thinked a lot.

[drexrew]

Just bought the 2023 XC40 Recharge, loving it.

[magnificantmile]

OMG. The best car review I have ever seen. What do you think of the 2024 Volvo XC40 versus the 2014 Toyota Venza Limited? Besides the Venza having more trunk space--is it bigger in the car? I know you have to pay extra for the sunroof, etc.?

[KarinaRain]

I’ve never seen one of your videos, but your humor reminds me of Trevor Noah. Your voice/delivery is right there. Haha! Thoroughly enjoyed this review. Appreciated!

[tmikeporter]

My 4 yr old XC60 has been perfect. No reliability issues whatsoever.

[mikevidovich]

I like the way you roll and deliver info . Reliability is always a hug thing in a car purchase . I would like you to do a little research and deliver to us your way . Thanks

[allartarends]

Question, What is the “name”off the collor off the car you drive ? Its very Nice

[devang]

How does this compare to the Mazda cx5 turbo and the new 2023 bmw x1?

[MikeMCT]

We’ve been thinking about downsizing from our 2019 xc90 T6 to the xc40. My wife doesn’t like the with of the 90 and the xc60
Is the same width as a 90.

I’m excited to see your review of the XC40! I have an early MY22 T5 Inscription and I love it. I was torn between the XC40 and the Q3 (I live in a city and typically park on the street, so I wanted a smaller SUV). I test drove both and really enjoyed them, but found the XC40 to be more refined in terms of the ride quality and interior. The infotainment system is…not awesome, lol! The Audi is definitely superior in that regard. With that said, although I really liked the Q3, I fell in love with the XC40 for the features you cited!
