2019 Volvo XC40 - Review & Road Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2018
- The luxury sub-compact SUV concept might sound like an oxymoron, but plenty of high-end car makers are disagreeing in droves, as are car buyers. Volvo wants in on the CUV action, and we're going to show you why we think Volvo's XC40 is one of the best.

The XC40 is really amazing! I drive it regularly and it makes you smile every time! Great job Volvo!!
K F I love mine. No doubt about it!
Hi!! Still a fan of your xc40? I test drive it and loved it but how about reliability compared to a Lexus?
Clare Nishikawa
A no brainer. Lexus all the way.
@@mcnYT Lexus is king.
I love how the XC40 blue is the Kelly blue
Same 🙌🏼
I'm just glad it's blue 🤗
Anyone know if the Denim Blue is close to the VW Tiguan bright blue? (I haven't seen this XC40 Blue in person, but the Tiguan is so fresh looking)
Volvo is doing a phenomenal job. I’d take this over the competition.
Imagine if Micah was the only one who even made reviews for KBB, 1 million subscribers in no time:)
This guys does such a good job reviewing cars. Way to keep a small volvo suv review interesting haha 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Barsa!

Jakub & Yuri: Hm . . . . 🤔🤨
Micah makes his reviews comprehensive and informative, while adding a comedic, entertaining twist to them. Great review!
So glad you enjoy them, John!
Hey Micah! Nice little Volvo. Can’t believe how Volvo has turned around. Can’t wait for the review of the NEW S60 sedan. Great Review as always.
Can't wait to drive the new S60, Gene!!
100% visor test fail ☹️
TheStraightPipes trademark incoming lol
You guys are the best I’m so happy your channel is growing! I’ve been subscribed for a min now keep it up! 👍😎
Thanks for your support! 😁
Kelley Blue Book we support all visor tests. Making the world a better place, 1 visor at a time
TheStraightPipes haha I love you guys
Thank you Micah for this very informative video on this model Volvo, I’m actually looking at getting one soon.
KBB is one of my favorite car review teams!!! 👍👍👍
Love to hear that! Thanks for your support 🙌🏼
Kudos on your video. Fun, not too long, and you manage to cover almost everything. Best regards.
Thanks for the kind words, Daniel! Glad you enjoyed it.
Best review I've seen, even though I'm in the UK, good job :)
Me as the intro music plays.."please be Micah. I bet it's not but please be. It's ok if not though, I'll still watch."
Wade Shive | For the past several months, it has always been either Micah or the other lady. Both do their reviews awesomely.
Sang Eeth Yeah I think both of them do a great job.
Sang Eeth the woman has a shitty attitude and is not nearly as entertaining as Micah
I like Lynn okay, but Micah is my favorite...
So true
Why did you open your door to check if you were in the lines when you have a 360 degree camera?
3:54 that’s a fail
Micah is probably the most interesting car reviewer on UA-cam to date! And that’s a good thing! You better keep him around KBB cause he is one of the reasons you guys are so good!
We love Micah too, don't worry! 🙌
Thanks for the videos with personality. One request, we want a Trevor Smith cameo in your next Irvine based review.
The best review ever for this car
I ordered mine back in December under the plan Cary By Volvo. The vehicle arrived to USA in March. 3 months from March and I will finally get it tomorrow. The customer service was the worse. People cancelling their orders. Zero responses. They promised so many diff delivery date....it was... A PAIN in the trunk. I hope the vehicle is good as all the professional reviewers says.
How sweet the sound
Volvo!!!😍
Gorgeous car 😍 volvo done amazing job designing this car well done
So no forthcoming T6 316hp but hybrid version? Is this the unit the V60 will see?
04:03 - I saw dozens of XC40 reviews and never noticed that!
Great review as always! Volvo
Did you actually adjust the steering feedback/firmness? It can be easily adjusted.
I was like please let it be Micah this time as I hold me breath
Tech, me too!
Me three!
@thestraightpipes should get a mention for the visor test. :)
wow kick ass features... I am still not sold on the funky design!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I love mine. 21 inscription. I already put 10000 miles on it in two months. My ONLY complaints are the premium gas required and on the highway I’m only averaging 25 mpg nowhere close to the 30 mpg epa estimate on the highway. I’m a commuter so the 5 mpg difference gets very expensive
Nice job! Great car!!
That forlorn "if I had friends" look. Micah needs a hug!
I was like please be micah and it was
The design of the dash fitments looks to have come straight from the mid-Century (circa 1950) movement. The air vents, the aluminum trim, and the shape of the frame surrounding the touchscreen would not have been out of place on a mid-century kitchen appliance; given the design goals of said movement, that's not a bad thing. I like it!
“If I had friends I would definitely use that” 😂
Nice T-SHIRT
Wonder where I can get it...
I think it looks great
Fantastic revue Micah and amazing car!
Still waiting for the stinger long term review😭. Wish the introduction and actual review were filmed around the same time so all the footage could he released at once😅🤷🏻♂️
just bought a momentum and upgraded with Polestar software.....
I can't believe they actually put the Swedish flag on the hood
Alvin Gunawan it’s only on the demo models. They don’t come on the actual cars to customers.
and they are owned by chinese haha
you can purchase the demo model. I’ve had my xc40 r-design with the hood flag for a month now. So far best car I ever owned.
XC40s are assembled in China.

Not at the present time !! these are made in Belgium, possibly in the future they might be made China too, but that will be for the Chinese market.
What's the difference between a crossover and a sub-compact suv?
6:54 Driver support system reduced functionality - Service Required
3:50 VISOR TEST!!! @TheStraightPipes
I’m am not gay but I sure do love watching Micah . Lol. Micah Micah Micah !
I *am* gay and I also love watching Micah. He's pretty.
Hi 5! Thanks for the support. I love both my gay and not-gay viewers!
stormbob, u said it! ;-0
Why did you feel the need to state your sexuality? I don’t believe I have ever said “I am not STR8 but I like to change my tires...” just seems a very odd and shallow statement, that’s all.
people like you probably was their target demographic when they decided to put him in front of the camera
Looks good
Lookin’ good...
The car ain’t too shabby either.
Long term test fleet please!
Dang T5 looks like the good fun.
I love Micah!
nice review! thanks! I'm not gay, but when I am, I love watching Micah!
Which fuel does it need?
does it have remote start
This kind of makes me appreciate the Subaru forester
36k+ and a seesaw action over bumps- NEEEEXXXXT!
I'll be your friend, Micah!!
Micah!!! 😍
Waiting for the Lexus UX release :)
The only thing that matters
Still miss Zach, Micah and (im sorry I don't remember her name) the other presenter still do a great job though 👍🏽
I hope Micah never leaves!
Kind comments like this hold some sway at KBB. So thanks for the support!
Micah Muzio you’re welcome! You all do great work with your reviews being informative and funny!
3:55 #thestraightpipes omg guys
( claps ) " If I had friends " Outstanding acting.... assuming it was acting...
I think its the best looking out of all those competitors you mentioned. Except maybe the Jaguar E-Pace.
want
Micah!! :). Excellent review of the 2019 Volvo XC40, I really like that Volvo has this CUV as an option. However, the blind spots are concerning, and I wonder if designers were aware when they planned this vehicle. I'm already looking forward to your review of the 2019 Volvo S60, so excited. Also, you got a friend here in Massachusetts.
Ricky Logan Jr. The blind spots don’t cause any concern, I drive the XC40 regularly.
K F That's great to know. From other reviews I've watched it appeared to obstruct driver visibility. Thanks kindly for commenting.
Ricky Logan Jr. The car has huge side mirrors and with BLIS (if equipped), 99% of the time you’ll have good visibility.
I like it since its not a crossover
6:45, awww.... I'll be your "friend" ;-o
Care by Volvo for the XC40 now starts at $650 a month. I think thats because they made the milage allowance 15,000 a year instead of 10,000
Subscription based huh...wonder if they have mileage limitations?
You choose the milage you want, up to 25k miles pr. year
I love that Doug Demuro set the trend for doing car reviews...
Doug is very bad at reviewing cars
@@leftvassis Apparently not bad enough to make a living at it...LOL
@@VL1975 Just because people watch him and hes good at selling the product IF he likes it doesnt mean he does good reviews.Hes very biased in alot of his reviews,he doesnt look at alot of very important categories and he rates everything on a scale of 1-10 with 10 usually being the standard of a million dollar car.The only reason ive ever watched one of his "reviews" is to see the car and how it sounds/drives.His "reviews" are basically just him talking about quirks and features of the car,ignoring every other category and then going on to see how fast it accelerates and how loud the exhaust is
@@leftvassis You don't like him. You can't deny the fact he didn't set the trend for car reviews are done. And he does make a living at it. His review aren't meant to be in depth.
@@VL1975 im not denying he set the trend.I just dont think he should be anywhere near your top channels to watch if you want an actual review of a car to choose whether its going to be in your selection pool or the one to get or not
Cool vehicle... For a crossover.
Diggin the Senna shirt!
At 6:46 Micah looks sad that Zach is gone :(
Side profile is similar to Nissan Kicks
Micah..!! 👍
💙love every feature of this SUV 🚙 and the color as well, it’s a bit pricey for me 😕
please do a 2018 INFINITI qx80 please!
Blind spots are just as bad in a Lexus RX 350 we have one.
I had a mid engine lotus, you don't know what blind spot is when you think XC40 has one
Is it comparable to Acura RDX 2L-turbo? (for similar money)
Can you review new RDX?
Thank You.
Hi there! You can check out an in-depth comparison of the two on our website at this link here: www.kbb.com/compare-cars/overview/2019-volvo-xc40-431171-vs-2019-acura-rdx-436296/
gas?
its not a sub compact when its 80 inches wide with the mirrors (73 inches body width)
that lucky seat......
Awe... I'll be your friend 🤗😁
Please get your hands on an Acura RDX to review!
2nd ?
For the same price, the Limited trim of the new Hyundai Santa Fe has a normal gear shift, thigh extenders on seats, reclining back seats, and is a few inches longer. Same horsepower etc. All safety and bells and whistles. The XC40 looks nice on the outside but that gimmick gear shift is ridiculous and I expected more niceties from a Volvo.
I mean come on, it has a fricking trash can built into the center console, just gives a taste of how practicality-oriented this car is.
I think it looks really tidy. That shifter would drive me bonkers. It’s just not logical. If anything you should have to double tap for neutral. I can’t remember the last time I put an AT in neutral.
Daniel Collin It’s super easy, from P...to taps to either D or R. I learned it the first drive.
that rear door window sucks. nice blindspot dude
kk P Drive one, talk later. I drive the XC40 regularly, it’s no issue.
K F i drive one too. it sucks. thank god for the sensors letting me know there’s a car beside me.
@@Littleathquakes so you regularly look through the rear door windows while driving? please do not...drive...at all.
Removable trash bin is neat, only volvo I would ever buy would be a wagon and thats too much money unfortunately
This volvo looks soooooooo good
Pretty good car. But having driven quite a few of them the interior is noticebly worse quality-wise than the XC60 despite having similar price, at least here in Sweden. Also, nice stuff like laminated windows, B&W stereo and ventilated seats are absent from the options list. Love the fact that it has wireless charging though. But I'll take a XC60 in any trim over an XC40.
Martin H I agree, it almost doesn’t feel like a Volvo. It’s a bit different than the other models and not in a good way. I also think it’s a bit overpriced.
Laminated glass is standard for the windshield and panoramic roof glass, and side windows are laminated with UV protection as standard on all 3 trim levels (Momentum, R-Design, and Inscription) per Volvo.
I'm not saying you are wrong, but there is no indication anywhere on either the American or the Swedish website that the XC40 has laminated side and rear windows. Also, all Volvos that have laminated windows have a special symbol with a hammer being hit against glass and I have looked at several XC40s of all trim levels and they do not have this symbol. So I think that the information you are getting from Volvo is not correct.
This would be worth it in cheapest form ($34k USA) if it had adaptive cruise control standard, like in Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Outback. No excuse for a so-called safety-conscious car maker to not have ACC standard.
*doesnt mention reliability or resale value*
It's a new model, so no record to look at !!!
Volvos aren't exactly known for reliability.
rediculously HUGE blind spots is a dealbreaker
Nicholas Grebenschikov I drive the XC40 regularly and the blind spots aren’t any problem.
The blind spots aren’t as bad is this makes it seem, they aren’t bad enough to be an issue. Compared to my previous jeep Cherokee I hardly notice a difference.
Not that big of a deal. Really.
Nicholas Grebenschikov If you drive a van or other large panel sided vehicle you'll know what real blind spots are like.
If the visors don't move, it fails the visor test no matter what.
Salis Salman this is not the straight pipes dude lol
Or is it?
TheStraightPipes OHHHMAAGAAD!
TheStraightPipes Got em!
Long Beach
Great cars until out of warranty. Then look out for costs of dealer services!
Easy, don't use dealer servicing !
