Great car and systems, touch screen could be better.
I love my car’s build- I feel safe in it with the outer shell and the break capability. It is a smart car with safety features and a great media system. I dislike the look of the touch screen, though. When I go onto waze the screen looks a bit odd and small. That is my only complaint about my car.

Safest features and comfort at the same time.
I love my vehicle since the beginning, I have not had any problems regarding performance and comfort. I did a lot of research before buying and do not regret my choice. The car is a brand well known because of its safety features and it matters a lot for me when I decided to purchase it.

Pros and cons of Volvo xc40.
Has the option of changing between eco/comfortable/performance. Is fast even in eco format. Sound system is awesome. Protective camera in back, map service is good but navigation unit is bad - better look with waze. Glove box is small. Auto charger for phone makes phone hot.

Your dashboard is all digital and it is perfect.
I love my Volvo. I am leasing a 2020 xc40 and the performance is outstanding. I pretty much have a base model and the seats are very comfortable to ride in. Whether you are going to a convenience store real quick or taking a 2 hour trip to the beach. I do wish I had a few more features but like I said I did get a base model. Hopefully next time I can get an inscription model. My xc40 is completely reliable. I get great gas mileage and it rides so smooth. The only problem I have is the sunroof is a little shaky sometimes when you close it.

XC40 inscription, drives excellent , performs excellent. Looks beautiful inside and out. Very comfortable on long trips and great for whipping around the city.

Small and compact for easy driving but still roomy. The best of both worlds!
This is a great car. It is a small SUV and is small but still roomy. It is a great beginner car and is reliable. It is very comfortable and is high tech. The only draw is it is very expensive. It is great for new drivers because it stops you from swearing off the lane and shows if there is a car next to you. I highly recommend this car is you can afford it!

The ultimate 'millennial' car!
I wish the vehicle was a big wider because when I sit in there with a passenger we feel very close together, elbows touch if we both rest them on center console. Aside from that I do love the safety features and how cute it is! Great storage areas too. There is a large side storage area on drivers door, a trash can, great on gas.

The Volvo xc40 is the car for you!
The Volvo xc40 is such a great car! It looks and drives like a luxury car. The interior is very high quality and it has a lot of safety features. My favorite feature is the backup assist camera because it give you a very clear view. Overall, it is an amazing car that will last me a long time.
