This all black First Edition model looks amazing. Lovely interior, all spec out and everything too! In terms of style and design, this XC40 is one the of the best in its class. Volvo has definitely come a long way.
The difference between this color and the ones displayed at launch is night and day. This car is handsome in all black - not so much in baby blue with a white roof.
Each to their own but I prefer a dash of colour to liven or cheer things up. I associate black with funeral cars and can be a depressing colour. Only my own feelings and not fact of course.
Dg G Volvo still designs and builds its own vehicles. the Asian company that owns the company only owns the rights to the company and reaps some of the profits, that’s it
I really appreciated this reviewer. She is classy and refined. It's refreshing to get a woman's perspective as well, which is atypical for car review channels.
HagzPictures then rivalling the a3, and the others. Volvo is missing out on that part of the market and I do think they’ll launch a car to fill in the gap in the market. Don’t you think it’ll be cool anyway? I mean Volvo cars are sexy
Ib Bu The v40 rivals the A3 the golf the focus the A Class and the 1 seiries The XC20 will look good if they make one however I hate small crossovers (Small crossovers aren't this they r the Q2 rivals)
As a Dutch man, I am always shocked when there is a mention of "plenty of leg room for an adult" and then hear sizes that would be considered average or below average in the Netherlands :P.
At 442 CM it's hardly compact, and is the same length as X1 for example. Just because there are HUGE cars like XC90 around, doesn't make this compact. Compact is Suzuki Jimny, for example.
The XC 90 isn't huge, SUVs like the escalade and navigator are huge, landcruisers and RRs are big and the X1 and XC 40 are compacts. The XC 90 is mid size
The Enlightened One no Full size is a massive range Basically any car with 7 adults seats is apparently full sized Mid size is Discovery Sport to Volvo XC60 (930L of boot to 445) Then there is the large Crossovers from the Nissan Quasqai to the Nissan Juke Ugh I hate that car Small SUVS Like this Merc GLA and VW T-Roc Then there is Compact Crossovers (Audi Q2 Mini Countryman Ect)
This is definitely on my short list for when I replace my full spec Skoda Yeti. I would love a new Yeti but the brain dead at Skoda decided to bin it in favour of a very dull design Karoq. Maybe I'll just get a lower mileage yeti.
pelleper I think Volvo is somewhere in the middle right now, maybe they will become luxury car company in the future. I also hope they are going to make Polestar versions of the V90 and a new S60 model.
Luv her accent. Luv the car too, might even buy one in 2019? Have to choose between a Volvo and a smaller Land Rover model? Don’t like the amount of road noise tho.
Are these storage and compartment space comparisons adding anything to these videos? 99% of vehicles in the same range have a ‘decent glovebox’ and pass the ‘big bottle’ door bin test.
It's not a proper SUV if it doesn't have a full size spare tyre. Maybe in the rarefied climes of western Europe where you're never all that far from a service station or AAA it's okay.
Black is the best colour for this car by a mile. I still think this car looks ugly (certainly uglier than the XC60 or XC90) but at least in black, it looks bold enough.
It looks like there are 3 ladies doing the reviews Ginny is my favourite. the way she gives that flirty look when she's reviewing cars.The other two even though they haven't been doing it that long, don't even come into comparison.
Am I the only one who notices the rather apparent use of filters? Ginny looks a bit ill, yellowish, dare I say grim/greyed out? Noticed it in some of the other recent vids, I would tone it down a bunch. Bring some colour instead of taking it out!
The way the body work cuts across the rear passenger window restricting the light entering the vehicle and also the view out for those unlucky enough to be sat in the back is a design disaster. Whoever approved that wants sacking. I hate the rear light clusters on ANY Volvo too.
I don't get why motoring journalists keep saying about middle seats being suitable for children. If they are under 12, chances are they will be in a child seat. Adults in the outer back seats won't have much fun with a child seat wedged between them!
Michael Burgess well I'm not a child so don't need a car seat. Law says 12 years old or 135cm tall, whatever comes first, need a child/booster seat, though it's recommended up to 150cm tall. Have you ever been in the back row of a car with a child seat in the middle? Being sat on the outer seats isn't fun!

I have to admit, it looks amazing, better than everything the competition has.
Vlad Mihai i Love those LED headlights!
Vlad Mihai I made a video about cars:
Top 10 cars that weren't as good as we expected
th-cam.com/video/zBE7ZzlyNu4/w-d-xo.html
Do you like it?
This all-black edition looks better than those "quirky" dual color versions to me. Way sleeker
I thought so too, until I saw the all-black one in person. It is extremely bland and cheap looking, in my opinion.
it looks tacky. The kind of thing that poor people think looks rich....
What a stupid comment a person may prefer a more stealth look as its preference and personal taste nothing to do with wealth or class you clown
Danielle E I’m glad someone said it before me!
i love how this is a mid-size in the uk and a compact in the US

I think exactly the same. It looks more sophisticated and grown up, closer to her siblings.
EgoShredder I think he means it looks better outside in just one color. I also think the interior with orange carpet did not work very well.
I test drove a XC40 in osmium grey with black roof (R-design). Gorgeous car!
Car of the Year in Europe 2018!
That Batch joke though 👌 😂
Nice car and brilliant review. Well done Ginny!
Seems a genuine alternative to all those german suv's you see everywhere.
t s if you like asian suv’s 🤮
Dg G Volvo still designs and builds its own vehicles. the Asian company that owns the company only owns the rights to the company and reaps some of the profits, that’s it

European Car of the Year 2018
Brilliant car
Good to see you back doing car reviews. I remember you from Men & Motors.
oooooo yes! gorgeous looking model, must get myself one of these
Also, nice car.
Whooops.
David like the pun...😁😁 now buy the car 🚘
Ah I want that car! 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Great review! Leave James alone... He’s special. 😂❤️💕
I am enjoying the video reviews for the XC40. Can't wait to get one for myself.
00:55 Shots fired 😂
I truly laughed out loud! Who knew Ginny was so savage.
Yeah, but none of that matters if the wiring isnt done right.
Gorgeous... The car looks good also.
I really like the look of the X40. Very Good review Ginny :)
Great review! Also great choice of coat 😍
A very well presented comprehensive overview.Thanks
Not totally convinced by the styling myself but it’s otherwise a well executed premium small SUV.
Ginniyyyyyy welcome back!!
Volvo is on a roll. I want to see when the V40, S40, and proposed 20 series will be like.
NeoGee XC40 is taking the place of the V40
Beautiful car😍❤️
I wonder what xc20 will look like
Ib Bu There won't be
HagzPictures i think there will be one, rivalling audi a3(q2). Bmw series1, mercedes a class and maybe VW Golf. We’re just going to wait and see
Ib Bu they have that already the v40 and to rival the Q2 the v40 Cross Country

Ótima avaliação!!!!!!!
Salve BRASIL !!! EU ADORO VCS!!!!!!! SALVE BRASIL!!!
"Honey I shrunk the XC90" 😂. I'm certain less than half your viewers got this reference 6:39
Nicer than anything from Germany. Better image, far more interesting to look at and not littering the carparks in their thousands
RichieT5 ... yet
Need more information and balance of the good, bad and ugly for this review to be of any help.
Is the carpet not the same colour as your jacket Ginny?
cant decide between this and mercedes a class 2018. any help?
As a Dutch man, I am always shocked when there is a mention of "plenty of leg room for an adult" and then hear sizes that would be considered average or below average in the Netherlands :P.
stephan2796 AS a Norwegian, I tottaly relate, but Swedes are quite tall aswell so The I assume The car has Swedish considered good leg room.
Red is my favorite color!
This black model really does a good job of covering the odd shapes of this car.
Make Comparison for this SUV!
Great Video Review
what a lovely red jacket, Ginny
Its not midsize suv, but compact
At 442 CM it's hardly compact, and is the same length as X1 for example. Just because there are HUGE cars like XC90 around, doesn't make this compact. Compact is Suzuki Jimny, for example.
X1 is a compact SUV too.
The XC 90 isn't huge, SUVs like the escalade and navigator are huge, landcruisers and RRs are big and the X1 and XC 40 are compacts. The XC 90 is mid size
The Enlightened One no
Full size is a massive range
Basically any car with 7 adults seats is apparently full sized
Mid size is Discovery Sport to Volvo XC60 (930L of boot to 445)
Then there is the large Crossovers from the Nissan Quasqai to the Nissan Juke Ugh I hate that car
Small SUVS Like this Merc GLA and VW T-Roc
Then there is Compact Crossovers (Audi Q2 Mini Countryman Ect)
This is definitely on my short list for when I replace my full spec Skoda Yeti. I would love a new Yeti but the brain dead at Skoda decided to bin it in favour of a very dull design Karoq. Maybe I'll just get a lower mileage yeti.
Good music playlist!
Is it safe to say that volvo is a luxury car company?
Well, the price tries try say that at least.
Vovlo will never be a luxury brand for me.
pelleper I think Volvo is somewhere in the middle right now, maybe they will become luxury car company in the future. I also hope they are going to make Polestar versions of the V90 and a new S60 model.
Josip Ćurić No ‘it’s an asian old people suv with a volvo logo. Wake up!
I was at a Volvo dealership yesterday and they said there is a one year waiting list for the XC40, is this true?
fred may yes its true because too much demand
Luv her accent. Luv the car too, might even buy one in 2019? Have to choose between a Volvo and a smaller Land Rover model? Don’t like the amount of road noise tho.
Of course!
Great review, great car.
OMG. Your sample has the steering wheel on the wrong side!
Mentions lava pants while wearing the matching jacket
absolutely stunning ,sharp ,intelligent and sexy.the car is nice as well
Looks delicious.
Let me eat it NOW.
Greg Caesar Yep eat the asians!!
The car is nice too 😂
The D4 is not the most powerful engine... The T5 has 250bhp.
Since when was an XC40 a mid size SUV....the XC40 is tiny! It just about qualifies as a compact SUV
Yes.
Unfortunately, it makes me want the XC90 even more.
I simply adore Ginny :-)
climate controls hidden within a screen and software are a headache. Better to have these as rotary buttons - see Audi A4
Reliable eastern agent mainly direct appoint hit silk stop society.
Also has a docking station to recharge the mobile phone :)
They are!
This is not mit-size SUV.it is in tbe class of X1
Gorgeous..

Gorgeous! You seem to sit pretty low in the back, though.
Nice review, ok car
Ginny is great 👍
It looks like there are 3 ladies doing the reviews Ginny is my favourite. the way she gives that flirty look when she's reviewing cars.The other two even though they haven't been doing it that long, don't even come into comparison.
rahmann936 you should had seen how everybody hated on her in her first videos here. People are awful
Am I the only one who notices the rather apparent use of filters? Ginny looks a bit ill, yellowish, dare I say grim/greyed out? Noticed it in some of the other recent vids, I would tone it down a bunch. Bring some colour instead of taking it out!
Sure is nice.
hybrid, yessss
Where’s Batch???
This aint against the audi q3 rather that the q2!!
Great car to sit in. Just don't go driving
Why i bet you have never test drive it
I just can't believe she's on O2, it's such a crap network.
The way the body work cuts across the rear passenger window restricting the light entering the vehicle and also the view out for those unlucky enough to be sat in the back is a design disaster. Whoever approved that wants sacking. I hate the rear light clusters on ANY Volvo too.
See many reviews and it’s brilliant. Really don’t like the black look on the outside of this car.
Did anyone spot the car!?!?
reception confirm audience definitely heel carbon drink apartment
counseling matter confusion originally collection cool historically refer other.
When did volvo get so stylish! 3 cylinder base engine, really? nobody will buy that I'm sure! Red coat black Volvo = yes!
It's not mid sized it's sub compact.
Looks like a Peugeot, still won’t sell many. Tell me something about it that’s better than the Germans (safety aside)?
shame doesn't come in leather seats as standard
I don't get why motoring journalists keep saying about middle seats being suitable for children. If they are under 12, chances are they will be in a child seat. Adults in the outer back seats won't have much fun with a child seat wedged between them!
...if the child is over 12 or tall enough to not need a car seat, then they won't enjoy the middle seat either!
ONhistoryplus Child seat up until 12?! How small are you?!
Michael Burgess well I'm not a child so don't need a car seat. Law says 12 years old or 135cm tall, whatever comes first, need a child/booster seat, though it's recommended up to 150cm tall. Have you ever been in the back row of a car with a child seat in the middle? Being sat on the outer seats isn't fun!
What is ESSHHHH U V?
Volvo has never been this good without the Chinese (Geely?) owning them. They truly have their Chinese DNA now. #MadeInChina2025 #1belt1road 🇨🇳
Stunningly Beautiful Ginny 🙌🏻😊💘
Russian detailed separation competition lots ideal lay.
The newer BMW X3 would be a better bet even if this Volvo has improved a lot of older designed Volvos
Looks like a Opel Mokka
sweet
she said very well considered. She should have said very well conceived !!!! oops....
love me a good esh you vee
WTF iOS & Android extra option! Looks good though.
eshhh
Yes please but i'll leave the car
God damn is that amazing looking!
