Check out the full Volvo V40 review here: www.carkeys.co...
Occupying the lavish and luxurious part of the hatchback market, the V40 competes against premium hatches like the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3.
As well as offering luxury, Volvo’s smallest model also aims to offer class-leading safety and impressive efficiency.
We take the V40 D2 R-Design Nav Plus out for a spin to see how efficient and luxurious it really is.
In this review, we take an in-depth look at the interior of the Volvo V40 including its boot size, dashboard and back seats. We then run through performance, price and finish up with the all-important verdict - is the Volvo V40 a good car?

Volvo is very underrated in my opinion, lovely cars, put together well and a little less mainstream than the default BMW or Audi. Having owned all three brands, Volvo is my favourite. It's a shame they depreciate quicker than their rivals though.
Completely agree with you that Volvo is underrated. Compare the V40 with Merc A-class ,Audi A3 ,BMW 1 series and in almost all areas it is better than them.
+K_Q_ J_H and I love the XC90 the most....the only SUV that does'nt show off
From what I've seen they seem to hold their value a lot better than the other three
When I had my A3, I lost £6k from new in 3 years. I traded it in for a C30 when they first came out and lost £11.5k in just over 18 months - gutted to say the least!
Neil Jones Weird. It seems like the V40s are putting up more of fight though! I'm looking for a used one at the moment and out of the Mercedes a class, a3 and golf the Volvo is more expensive for a decent spec one.
I love Volvo v40 it's perfect.
K_Q_ J_H i was gonna buy this car but i got a Mercedes hatchback instead 👋🏻
@@mikedonington7578 so you choose something that is worse. ah well
too many speed cameras and too much traffic have taken away the 'fun' factor of driving now so its got to be comfort, economy and practicality..this is a great car high on my list of next car to buy.
Aye that's why nobody buys sports cars any more. Ya fucking tosser.
I like this review. To the point, informative and good editing. Winning.
Thanks D.B! Great little car the V40, the R-Design interior is impressive.
great work Richard, i just love the lack of bias
Thanks for the comment Robert. We'll make sure Richard sees it.
I have just recently bought one of these cars Volvo it is the best car I've ever driven luxury of the scale
I am a new viewer, and I absolutely love how you do the reviews! Great job! Really!
Thank you very much. We hope you enjoy all our new videos just as much
A balance of luxury and form factor.
Definitely luxurious Vaibhav, very practical and reliable too. Did you agree with our ratings?

Yes, I did. The V40's a likeable car for its safety and modest looks alone. But if you wanted a more engaging drive and overall better car, the Audi A3 is more appealing, in my opinion.
Volvo make the most durable and safest cars in the world
Now that's a good review ! I finally found a good video ! Thanks !
Cool, thanks Alex! Great car and awesome cup holders 😉
The editing in this video is awesome! :D
Thanks a lot :) The video guys blushed
Car Keys UK :P
+Car Keys UK seriously, great editing. I was thinking Volvo should hire you to do their commercials of this car.
Volvo over bmw all day long, now on my 2nd v40 r design and my 4th Volvo having had 2 c30s before, great cars.
Do you have harman and kordon sound system by default?
I completely disagree with the lack of fun in the V40. I’ve driven a BMW 3 series, VW Golf an an Audi A3 and this is easily as fun to drive as the faster variants of these cars (at least in R Design). The gear box isn’t notchy at all and feels better than the BMW, although the clutch isn’t quite as slick as in the German cars. Plus, the Volvo’s suspension is far quieter than the Beemer.
Granted, the steering isn’t as good as the BMW, but it’s good enough.
I’m sure these reviews tell people what they want to hear rather what they should hear.
I'd love to see a new C30.
Nathan Constable the c30's pruduction stopped 2013
such a shame... i think i will hold on to my c30 then :(
Andrew Archar the V40 is the replacement
Faris Selimovic it has 4 doors , i want 2 . because i am that kind of person who wants only the right passenger in the car ( gf )
and the excuse ofc " sorry but I barely afforded those 2 doors , no room for others. "

Love its design, wish volvo revive this beauty! That stance, posture everything seems perfect! Just a little work on interior and i think its ready for 2020!
major work needed on the interior! ive been wanting to buy a v40 for the past 3 years but i keep hesitating because of the poor looking interior compared to its rivals :/
Booking a test drive as my 7 year old C30 is nearing retirement, have driven other makes, admittedly not bmw, Audi or Mercedes but all come up short on refinement. My days of fast cars are gone and I need a luxurious comfortable cabin with necessary mod cons.
Great review!
Thank you very much :)
The "notchy" gearbox becomes super-slick by 46,000 miles!
Amazing car
hi it's greats and quick info, thanks and let me know your choice over V40 and BMW 1 :)
This is an extremely popular car.
See these all over the place.
They are pretty special though Dave, wouldn't you agree? Or would you prefer one of its rivals?
Car Keys UK I personally wouldnt have one as I prefer larger Volvo's however my girlfriend wants one because she wants a solid, safe smaller motorway car. When it comes to Safety, Volvo have always gone the extra mile so is worth the premium price these V40s command
Hi there...I'm considering T5 inscription model. Is it worthy of buying? I'm on the crossroad
Everything about this video is brilliant,but look crocky park is wild be carful you don't get robbed and just talk in your normal voice drop the affectation,it will make you stand out more ,but well done I really liked this I'm going to buy a v40 soon
Come on Billy, Crocky isn't that bad! We have 2 very scouse cameramen who help us blend in ;)
Will it get robbed if I stick it on my driveway in Huyton? My previous Leon FR was getting eyed up a bit!
Hey, because the V40 is based on the ford focus I wonder if it's much less fun to drive? if you have driven both, are they really that much different? because all I hear from the Focus is that it's great to drive
If memory serves me correctly it was based on the prior gen Focus which was just alright. The current focus is superior
***** it is, but not on the current gen focus.
Sklopka pretrda
Vožnja zelo utrujajoče. Odsvetujem nakup.
Good review!
Thank you Jez
Nice car
May not be as exciting to drive as a one series BMW equivalent, but highly unlikely to fall to bits or have many many faults over ownership which is guaranteed if you buy a BMW these days
I'm on my 2nd,2019 this one is replaced
song sounded like a Nines tune
Why can't volvo make a genuinely small car? Great review though!
I'm considering buying a 2016 Volvo V40 D2 Momentum for my family of 3. Anyone who owns one, please give me some insight?
Nice car, but what have they done with those headlights - it looks like they've got strips of white tape stuck on
They're supposed to be based on Thor's hammer
I have a Volvo v40 t5 which is 245bhp and that is just as good to drive as a bmw m135i and Audi s3 infact better nand that is really sporty he chose the lowest power engine too
well learnt nothing that I really wanted to know!!
And it doesn't have the social stigma of being a BMW driver....!
dont realy see the point of talking about fun in cars like this unless you go abow 250 bhp
BMW 1 series all day over this
