    The XC40 is literally one of the most beautiful looking cars I have ever seen. Volvo will ALWAYS be my favorite car company when it comes to design. Their cars are sleek, simple and sharp. Totally a head turner without even trying. The XC40 is my dream mom car, hands down.

    I’ve owned an Evoque and and early new model XC60. Had to dispose of the Volvo as the various safety features drove me mad. Slamming brakes on for no apparent reason, constant binging and buzzers going off and I couldn’t get on with the touch screen. My understanding is this system is common to XC40. This was one of the first cars so maybe they’ve sorted the software but mine went back to Volvo a number of times without resolution. The Evoque was reliable (despite all the comments on here) and my only criticism was the gearbox which they have now improved fitting the 8 speed ZF box. I own a pretty new Range Rover and bought that with some trepidation but to date it’s been great in terms of reliability. Just ordered a new Evoque for my wife. You do pay a premium but I really like the quality of the interiors and the issue I had had put me off Volvo for life. When I bought the Volvo I wanted something other than a Range Rover as everyone had one around here. I understand why now.

    What this reviewer doesn't seem to understand, is that with the Volvo XC40, you set up the AI, then you TALK to the car to control all the functions. You rarely have to take your eyes off the road if you understand this and set the XC40 up correctly! I've had mine for 2 weeks now, and this is the smartest car I've ever known!

      Yes, the interior of the Evoque is far superior and one of the reasons the Volvo doesn't hold its value so much. The interior of the XC40 is just a mishmash of shapes and materials, with ugly, oversized airvents, undersized buttons and a dreadful infotainment system that looks and sounds naff.

    • @Clavinovaman
      @Clavinovaman 5 років тому +5

      You haven't driven a Telsa then? It always makes me giggle when people talk of uniqueness to a particular model or brand, when in reality it is anything but unique. Customers have, to my knowledge, never really complained that they have to turn a knob to turn the aircon up. But manufactures increasingly think that scrolling through menus is a better option. Porsche Macan is full of buttons - brillirant car, many times more sophisticated and brilliant than either the XC40 or Evoque, but you know it will sad day when the Macan is replaced with - no doubt - buttonless interior, replaced with menus and all sorts of things to scroll through to achieve simple things. And its comments like yours that are causing it.
      _Using a rotary knob on the centre console is the easiest way to change the climate control._
      Uniqueness is overplayed. Every single car in, what is in reality, a fluid market, exists uniquely within it.

      Gary j, are you telling me its easier to look down to turn a controller and take your eyes of the road rather then push a button on a steering wheel and say "I'm cold" the volvo puts the heat up or set temperature to 22 as you can with the volvo sensus? Even Audi who own Porsche have moved to screens so I am betting Porsche will follow suit over time. Each to their own i guess but it annoys us owners when an uneducated car reviewer says something is a faff when it clearly is not.

    This review seemed a bit biased from the get go, he just ignored the flaws of the Evoque, eg, the cheap looking sets, slow infotainment, less practical, harder suspension...it was too obvious what car would win. Why bother making these "comparison videos" at all? just make a huge commercial for the evoque and that's it.

    The Volvo XC40 anytime ofc - the Range is much MUCH too expensive (extremely over prized) and it just doesn't show good quality for the price. And I can't understand the critics about the climate control being in the Volvo's XC40 central display. I did set the temperatures in my XC40 when I get it from the dealer, set all to automatics and then I NEVER have to change them again... for years. It just works brilliantly. Why should I change it all the time? Seriously, that's just stupid.

      How did you come to the conclusion that its better value for money? You buy a £6K more expensive Evoque with cash, you will pay less over 3 years than a Volvo as the Evoque holds its value so well. Perfaormace is relative. Would you like to give me an example of one of Volvo storage innovations - that is, not been available on any car previous to it? If you mean the removable centre console,, I can do that in a Sport, which was launched prior to the XC40.

    Well: the Evoque is better in Design (subjective); Interior Quality and Equipment; the XC40 is better in Space, Riding Confort, Performance and Economy; Reliability. It looks clear to me that the XC40 would be the winner, at the end of the test.

      I've heard others say similar things about the XC40, but I genuinely cannot see it. The rear looks like a Rover 25 facelift from 2003 - even the lettering is positioned the same. That straight line running from the front bonnet to the font doors is just horrible. On many of the 'public review' pages, the most endearing exterior design element seems to be the daytime running lights. All those millions of pounds of investment and the single most interesting element is the daytime running lights? I'm sure the designers are delighted.
      But it is inside where I have the biggest gripe. Ugly, over designed and oversized airvents with a naff looking and sounding infotainment system in the middle. Couple this with undersized buttons and you have a mishmash of design themes that really doesn't gel. Totally get the practicality though.
      The interior design was introduced in the XC90 a few years ago where it looked new and fresh. But you don't see many car companies being influenced with that design. It really hasn't aged well and shrinking it to fit the smaller car, it all seems a little busy and squashed. And those are among the reasons why it won't hold its value as much as the Evoque - its much less fussy, classier, nicer materials, clean design and it will age very well.

      ​@@bigbadbear2962. As far as the dual screen is concerned - try it. Honestly, you may well surprise yourself. Works extremely well. The two rotary buttons are much easier to use than the touch screen in the Volvo. ​I agree, of course, that 'style' is a personal thing, but the Volvo is a mishmash of different design themes cobbled together rather than a sophisticated design. The front and rear, for example, bear no design correlation whatsoever - the rear looking like a 16 year old Rover 25 facelift. Which are among the reasons why it doesn't hold its value particularly well. The infotainment is a big let down - even the Kia system looks and sounds better. Even at basic spec, the Evoque hi-fi is fantastic.

    Having all the controls routed through the touchscreen just made me decide against the XC40- It seems like a trivial aggravation until you have to drive something like that. You shouldn’t have to go five menus deep to change the fade or turn the bass down. Also if and when that thing glitches out it causes all sorts of unforeseen problems. My current vehicle, will automatically turn the seat and steering wheel heaters on when it’s cold outside. One day my touchscreen was unresponsive and I had a 100 mile commute! I was sweating like crazy and contorting my body while loosely gripping the wheel ( real safe I know) to keep my ass and hands from burning. Eventually I pulled over ( again in cold weather) and found the fuses... what a pain

    • @timjones7336
      @timjones7336 5 місяців тому

      The XC40’s infotainment system doesn’t even have 3 levels of menu…. Nevertheless; have owned one for the last year & I just need physical controls for air conditioning in additional to media. There’s media controls on both the steering wheel & under the screen which is redundant.
      There is voice control but it’s not very reliable.
      I’d also like a portrait orientation for the screen + navigation in the digital dash + a HUD: the screen is too small when showing navigation and I have to glance down and do my left to view directions, which doesn’t feel safe.
      Other than that, it’s far superior to my previous car: Range Rover Evoque.
      XC40 has better rear seat space & boot space and “feels” smaller to drive. It’s not as wide as the evoque and j swear is a smaller car, but manages to have far better interior space
