I like how you guys mentioned what parts of the light system is led and incandescent. A lot of reviewers just mention only led, because of the accent light when the turn, reverse and brake light are incandescent.

I own a 2021 in the T5 R-Design. It’s the best car I’ve owned. Never a problem in the 2 years so far I’ve had it. We cross-shopped the CX5 for the features and style, but the transmission in the Volvo is much more refined and smooth, and power delivery felt way better.
My only real complaints are the low fuel economy for the small engine and they need to stop putting so much in the infotainment. I’d like more buttons for certain features.

I just saw your channel because I’m really considering this exactly car. Holy hell man, we’ll done. I’ve watched five other videos on this exact car and was about to call it and then figured “ah, I’ll watch one more..”. Best video by far. You covered EVERYTHING I wanted to know and then some. POV reference and everything. Keep up the good work my friends. Liked and subbed.

Since I am considering the XC40 in Plus trim I would have preferred a review based on the Plus trim. Nevertheless, this video was awesome. Thanks so much for doing such an excellent job.

We own a 2023 Ultimate XC40.
Be sure that you have a good Volvo service department nearby. As cars become more technology oriented there are bound to be more problems. You are buying a computer system (android) and a car.
Just after we bought our car it spent over a week at the dealer because of software issues and a bad engine related sensor.

I always appreciate your detailed descriptions of interior controls and features.
I wish you would have shown the car’s steering wheel controls and display menu choices.

I like Volvos! They have always been an interesting vehicle. Slight difference in variations from other vehicles. Another great honest review! A little Drew humour with the paint and sweatshirt colour! 😂. And Mason, what size is your sweatshirt. We are roughly the same and I’m ready to order mine. Thanks and enjoy your weekend!

Great review. I’m picking up mine on Monday here in UK. It’s my second XC40. I had one of the first Inscription Pros.

[Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan]

This will be my dream SUV! Good job bro.

[floridaprimehomes]

Any improvement in the AC noise? It's one of the things I don't like about the xc40 model.

[thomasyoung]

Very thorough..like the decibel info too.

[matthewballard]

Great video guys! I have been waiting for this one; considering an XC40 to replace my Evoque. I just wish the black roof was still an option! Thanks for all the info!

Pro and cons of LED, bright but doesn't melt the snow. Especially on the tail lights

[samanthaglenn]

A question on your sound tests. what was you impression on the tyre noise? I read some people complain online on the tyre noise with 20 inch wheels (of which I really like the design), or do you believe they don't impact really impact the sound/comfort experience in comparison to 19 inch ones? Thx

[paulanderson]

New cars are using all LED and some bulbs that appear similar to be incandescent but incandescent refers to the type of light not necessarily how the bulb is designed. Similar to how led bulbs replaced your old incandescent in your lamps in your home. What you guys should be referring to is size of led light source like pixels that are currently the smallest you’ll find on car lighting

[allisterfong]

Great review and terrific presentation.

[sarahyousef]

Would you say this is a better buy than Q3? This only has 129 hp for the same 1500 cc

[harrygatto]

Nice review, thank you. What is the "Arms Dealer" function shown on the centre console display screen?
