Just got my 2020 XC40 R Design, best car I’ve ever had by far. Love it, Swedish design shines throughout this car.
Brennan Barger What trim and engine? And where are the exhausts? 😜
Can you share your payments and the trim?
gginct I leased with zero down other than the first months payment. I added on a tire replacement package and I got the R design with the hardon kardon add on. I pay 689 a month currently.
@@BrennanBarger Did you get the lava orange trim or pass on that?
@@benjaminsmith2287 Doesn't that only come with the white version?
Wow, this guy knows his stuff. Unusual where most reviewers just run their usual cliche about safe and boxy and crap like that when talking about Volvo history. This guy knows about their performance history. Kudos.
I’m a die hard mini fan and volvos are the only other car I’d want! The seats alone in them make them worth the purchase
Like the exterior colors on this SUV. I thought it was a convertible at first. $33k for this vehicle with 16k miles seems a bit pricey to me. Two vids a day keeps Lori Away. We appreciate the effort Joe!! 👍
louis ayala I appreciate it Louis!
yikes..!!!!! 33k for a used vehicle w/ 16k mi.... either this vehicle is holding it's value really well or the market hasn't determined depreciation!!!! At 25-27k this may be a value, at 33k the stealership is on some BS
@@darrylplunkett5676 These vehicles hold their value a little more than the Volvo sedans. Also all used cars are currently up in price because less people are trading in their cars for a new car due to the pandemic. The used car market should settle down in the next 2 years. The 2012 Volvo C30 I got for $13k 4 years ago has only depreciated by 1k-2k because of the inflated used car market.
I'm relatively new subscriber, love this channel,you are truly an inspiration ,ex race car driver ,ex teacher, etc ,great story
😯 Omg that trash can blew my mind! For the longest time I had always just used a takeout soda cup after it was empty. Despite being low-tech as hell, I would encourage ALL automakers to include a trash can in their cars! 😂
What a cool looking car. Awesome review Sir. Fan from Philippines here.
Thank you brother Joe because i asked you many in may comment to review Volvo and Buick cars and suvs and you deliver some of that i hope i see more Volvo and Buick on your list you still the best of the best and the master in this business.
Thank you for your awesome support! I have more to come so stay tuned!
Man, haven't heard about any new Volvo cars until today with this video. The XC40 T5 looks good, though!
Great vid, Joe! As always!
I absolutely love how Volvo injected so much character into such a tiny and efficient package. I love this color combo, but I’d personally go for the R-Design trim with the Cheetos orange interior carpeting. Also, my mom would totally kill to have a center console trash can on her 05 S60 like the one on this XC-40.
great funny informative review as always...I rather see your reviews than the others because of the humor....BTW - anybody notice at 11:30 minutes the "interesting things going on" comment - while hes driving into an active street fight going on....nice editing - hilarious!
I searched CZcams for reviews on 5 SUV’s I was considering (first-time reader, by the way), and glad I did. It came down to the wire between the Honda CR-V (turbo) and the Volvo XC40 T5.
Bought my Volvo XC40 T5 two weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it. It’s zippy, sassy, and looks fantastic! Comfortable too, front and back. As for the “zonks” in this review, they don’t effect a thing. Thanks for a great review! My third Volvo, first SUV.
Thanks for sharing that input Kris!
You’ve been dropping all the videos that I’m currently editing! This is awesome. I’d prefer the XC 90. XC 40 exceeded my expectations! Interior was surprisingly impressive. Maintenance?
Would I like to see more Volvos featured on Raiti's Rides?
Absolutely!
This AWD XC40 T5 Momentum is a great base model. I think you and your viewers may have appreciated an AWD XC40 T5 in either R-Design trim or Inscription trim a lot more.
I'd love to see your review of the V60, V60 Cross Country, XC60 and XC90.
*skip the T5 versions of these and go with either T6 or T8 versions of these.
More Volvo models, please!
Stay tuned! I am working on it!
Joe, you're crushing it with all these reviews! You're going to run out of cars to review soon ;-)
Swedish fish, twinkies, puking kids, abacus...is this a car review or suburban mom podcast????? love it
I'm zonking the ENGINE COVER. 😂😂😂
My reaction as well 🤣🤣🤣
@@MiguelRodriguez-nt5eq what he doesn’t know is that it’s rubber not plastic 😂
Test drove a s90 and boy, was it something. Been wanting a Audi a7 or a5 sportback but March may be the month I get a volvo. Plus I was quoted for car insurance cheaper with the Volvo vs Audi. Thanks for looking at this Volvo ! Been waiting for you to do these!
Wow! Rapid Fire Reviews on Raiti’s Rides!
Seriously, how many reviews in one day?
That XC40 looks great in that white over red color scheme with those wheels.
As always a great video brother!
Evan Langguth you are a good guy! Thank you!
Raiti's Rides have you got the allocation for that GT350?
Evan Langguth I will have an update tomorrow!
The XC40 has a few peculiar things that you may not know about such as the Air Woofer under the hood on the cowl, the hidden slide out tray from the front of the drivers seat, credit card slots ( 2 places )
and the engine cover is soft foam. That’s Volvo for you. Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Great video!
Devin Nieto thanks man!
Thank you very much, Raitis Rides
Finally you are bringing the rewiew of my best auto industry brand , Volvo.
Love you a lot,,,🤝❤️
I am glad I can get you covered! Stay tuned for more!
@@RaitisRides
Thanks for the reply.
If the possible ,can you cover the Audi RS Q8 .
Great review, how about one in the Volvo xc40 recharge?
Great review.Sweden exported 5 billion USD worth of fish last year.Top export was cars at 25 billion USD
Sweden didn’t do anything, because Volvo was bough out by China YEARS ago.
@@smokeybear1925 Hello from Sweden! Didn't do anything??? You seem to be quite ignorant regarding Volvo Cars Company. The Volvo headquarter is in my home town here in Gothenburg, Sweden. Volvo Sweden develops, test drives and produces the models, which are then assembled here in Sweden and in Belgium for the European market, in the USA for the American market and in China for the Asian market. Volvo is owned by Geely, but the cars are all developed here in Sweden and assembled in the places I mentioned.
The new Q3 is looking damn good my brother
I need to request that you slow down on the videos.😄 I seriously cannot keep up with how many videos you are putting out.
Keep up the great work.
I like the rear shape and the white roof
I like the color combination buddy. Not bad at all for this X40 good competition for the X1
Get your hands on an S60 Polestar. would love to see you review that Volvo! If no Polestar is available an S60 R-Design T6.
I just went into the Volvo web configurator for the XC40 and I find it a shame that the orange "tennis ball" interior lining is only available in the R-Design and not even on the red or blue exterior paints. I want that interior carpeting for the Momentum trim with the contrasting white roof, white side mirror caps and red exterior paint. Seriously, that sucks.
Plz make video for Volvo s90.
BTW awesome video🤩🤩
Thanks for the compliment and I will get that together for you.
I need to zonk your zonks. Fog lights and rear seat vents are part of option packages. You reviewed a stripped Momentum T5, and last year's model (why?). Surprised to hear someone calling T5 the "trim"; T5 is the powertrain, Momentum is the trim. And I'm zonking Joe for speeding in a residential area. But regardless, thanks for trying a Volvo!
how would you assess the key differences with the Mercedes GLB?
Joe, ¿por qué ya no mencionas las medidas de los neumáticos?, he notado en tus recientes videos que omites ese dato. Igualmente buena review.
You tell the whole county to do burn outs in the background of the video, Joe? 🤣
I agree with you Joe.......high level of safety and spec has always been Volvo's trump card. Nice compact SUV.
Great review, big up to the team! 🙌
Approaching 180k subs Joe and it's not hard to see why! 👏👏
Gary Green you are the man! I really can’t do it without your support!
The bi-color exterior reminds me of those old crappy cars occasionally seen on the road, whose owner sprayed whatever color they have on hand just to get it "painted".
Wow, this aged well. I'm looking at a 2021 right now for $32k. It has 30k miles, though. Thoughts?
3:11 2012 Fisker Karma that U reviewed days ago 😍😎.
Jay Patel 🦅 👁
@@RaitisRides 😎🤣🤩
You ask so many questions that I can't answer, Joe.
I love this XC40. Finally starting to see them pop here in Vegas.
5:46-6:13 not liking your viewers today are ya? So on a serious note, this little guy is one of the best in its class. I think it would sell better if they made a T7 trim that was the turbo and plug in hybrid (no supercharger, as that T6 engine is 100% a government workaround of not having more than a 2.0L engine), this thing would be much better off. It would likely mean no spare as thats where the batteries would be, but considering a lot of people don't even know how to change a tire these days, I think a can will serve the public much better. Also with volvo pushing hybrid everything, I am surprised their smallest and most fuel efficient crossover doesn't have a hybrid yet
I love Audi Q5 but could love this too!!
Nice Sharon! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
@@RaitisRides no problem!! I love your videos💚
OK Joe. So I het pause and I have to tell you that Swedish Fish are the best!!!! Nice call my friend.
Thanks Mark! I appreciate you letting me share some fun!
Why does joe zonk cargo nets so much. I love them especially the nets rather than a leather flap because the net allows me to put more twinkies and nik nacks like a wallet and I’ll know to reach right behind the seat real quick. Love me a Cargo Net. But zonk the cargo pouch in my book.
White door handles would be a nice accent to match the roof..
Sup Joe. Not really into this Volvo but I love the 2020 Volvo XC-90 😍.
Jay Patel I’m bringing it all to you! Ready or not!👍🏻
Sup Jay.
Tom Tran you guys are great!
@@RaitisRides HELL YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
@@stellantistom6881 Sup G
that white roof gave it a nissan kicks appeal LOL
cali818 I totally see it!
And now you can throw in Hyundai Venue and Toyota Chr in the mismatch roof.
Moe Anthony my thoughts exactly
How does Tom not laugh 😂
I tape his ears shut! LOL
Fuel economy vs competitors? Warranty vs competitors? Cargo capacity vs competitors? Come on pal, details rule.
Joe, nice touch, no exhaust, everything tucked up out of the way...? 😳 I think they are getting ready for when they will just produce electric ⚡️ cars! I think the Chinese influence has smothered any Swedish traits. Miss the Volvo’s of the 80’s and 90’s!
The Volvo has no Chinese influences. Design is European, engineering is European, money is Chinese. I don't even think of it as Chinese, I think of it as a parent company doing well by the brand. That they're in China doesn't matter that much to me. Volvo is back because they have a much better parent company than Ford was.
Volvos of the 80s, the 760 series, just OK. The 90s, I loved the 850s. These new Volvos are more like the 850 than the 760, so I like them. But they dumped the 5 and 6 cylinder engines. That I don't like.
Benjamin Smith , good points Ben. I personally loved the 850 series too. And I can’t disagree with you that they are better off without Ford, as are the other brands that were formerly owned even in part by Ford.
Nice view bro on road price bro
Big zonk for no physical climate controls. Definitely not safe to have drivers scrolling and swiping through menus trying to find and push button while driving. Everyone with a touch screen infotainment knows how hard is it to "aim" for buttons in the screen with the car moving your body around!!
Red is zonk for me, other than that I like the car a lot.
Well I have to admit this is probably better then an x1 BMW. Everything is getting so big these days they call this thing a subcompact seems like a compact to me but that white roof really makes this thing pop. I know they made these things in Belgium but I heard they're starting to make them in China now and that gives me some pause. I can't get any information on that 8-speed I'm thinking it might be the ZF I know they make ZF Transmissions in Belgian as well.
HiPlains1 I own one. Yea it’s small but I wouldn’t call it a subcompact. It’s a pretty wide car too.
The most expensive Volvo sedan is made in China, the s90. But more than that, Polestar, Volvo's performance electric brand, that make the $155,000 limited edition P1, is made in China. The P2, all-electric Tesla 3 competitor will be made in China, too. Interestingly enough, the flagship xc90 redesign, coming in 2022 and probably starting around 60K and going up to 80+K, will be made in the USA. The transmission is Aisin I believe, not ZF. (It is for the other Volvos, so I'm going to go with it is for the small one).
Please do the review on 2020 Acura RDX.
Higher trim gets fog lights
Hey my brother checking in
Matt Agui thanks for making it back!
Raiti's Rides you got it my friend always here
Matt Agui that means a lot!
Does this car have power folding side mirrors
Yes it does Lewis.
How's your Night Joe? and I have arrived.
Tom Tran it’s better now you are here Tom! 😎👍🏻
No rear vents in a luxury level vehicle?
I feel your pain!
it’s optional. This was a barely equipped vehicle.
Are they not in the B pillar posts? that's where they are in a lot of Volvos.
Benjamin Smith no
We need the Genesis GV80 soon!
Stay tuned!
2020 KIA OPTIMA review please JOE : )
Should my mom get one?
When I saw that engine cover it reminded me that I needed to empty my trash can
LMAO! You are freaking hilarious!
33k for a Volvo hell no , give me the Mazda CX-5 over this one any day of the week and twice on weekends
AGREED!
Really ? , have you driven one ? , this car is way better then a Mazda CX-5 , I’ve had a Mazda CX-5 and drive this xc40 now , it;s a world of difference , for sure
33K for a Volvo is cheap. They go up to 80K.
Not a chance, I test drove the Mazda and I really loved it, almost bought it but decided to go across the street to volvo dealer, test drove xc40. Blew me away, there is no comparison. I bought the volvo.
Yea luv my xc40.. drove Kia and Subaru before
A-1 with their dedication to safety, for sure!
Classic lines with the belt line shoulders, front and rear, tells you it's a Volvo!
"Nice use", of your fingers to describe what you like, "and subliminally, Zonk", on the center display stack!
As you begin, and end, your description of the cargo area, look at that rear door, quarter window angles... This is another example of my displeasure of form and function in the design.
45mph in a residential area where the speed limit it clearly posted as 30? Setting a very bad example. And T5 is not a "trim", it's the engine selection. The trim level is Momentum, the least expensive trim, which is why there are no rear vents. The white roof is the giveaway; it's only available in the Momentum trim. I agree with others that $33K for a base model with 16K miles is high.
Some of those touchscreen functions should have a hard button
Nice car. But calling it a "compact" crossover is a misnomer. At 174" in length, the XC-40 is an inch longer than a Mazda CX-30 and less than 3" longer than a Honda HRV, each of which is a conventionally consider a "sub-compact" SUV. The "compact" class begins at 179" (Mazda CX-5) and stretches to about 185" where the Volvo XC60, Nissan Rogue, and VW Tiguan sit. Further, the rear cargo space isn't 27.2 cubic ft. (10.06) According the Volvo it's 20.7 cubic ft. I think you confused the rear capacity figures with the total cargo space, Joe. You're correct that the total is 47.2 cf. But it's worth noting that a VW Golf R comes in at over 53 cubic ft and it's half a foot shorter than the Volvo.
Nevertheless, the CX-40 is an appealing sub-compact. And the asking price of $33K for a used example with 16K miles and without a new car manufacturer warranty MIGHT be a good value considering that a loaded version of the lowest "Momentum" trim (which I assume is what you were driving, Joe) has an MSRP of about $45,000. But if I were considering the example you drove I'd want to know why the original owner opted to get rid of it so soon and take such a huge hit in depreciation. And if the example you were driving wasn't fully loaded, the $33K asking price could be as much as about $5K less than a new version without an extensive set of options, with no miles on the clock, and with a new car manufacturer warranty.
Thanks for your input, but if you go to Volvo's own website this is exactly what they call it.
@@RaitisRides I'm sure they do, Joe. But that's European marketing speak not an accurate description from a North American perspective. Most of the vehicles we call "midsize" SUV's in the US are considered either "full size" vehicles or are not even sold in western Europe. The VW Atlas, Mazda CX-9, KIA Telluride, and the Hyundai Palisade are not sold there. The Ford Fiesta is a compact SUV in Europe and the VW Golf is considered a "midsize" vehicle with several smaller VW vehicles such as the Polo occupying the "compact" slot.
nice , for mention that, #volvo is not an european co . just wonder , if this cross over is build in china?
Twinkies and Swedish fish” lol
👍Volvo👍
👍💯video💯👍
So basically you got to stop driving to access the air conditioning, that’s like a big cell phone. I don’t like that.
Trust me neither do I!
For a luxury Volvo don’t like the two tone color
👍
First!!
Cristho Sanchez-Ponce you are on it!
Cristho Sanchez-Ponce - Jay Patel is not appreciating this. 😀
louis ayala that’s for sure! 😂
No it’s not
$33k for a 16000 miles on this Volvo ? Sorry Volvo I’ll take a new Rav4 trd over you .
It doesn’t look roomy
It is a compact SUV.
@@RaitisRides i found the rdx to be more spacious. this one looks so tight.
You lost me at Chinese . Nothing against the people just the regime.
The XC40 is manufactured in Charleston USA.
Why do you Zonk everything that you don't like? Perhaps there is a reason something was designed. Not for you but the majority of other buyers. Those that can't do becomes teachers. People that can't teach, criticize!
Im gonna scrutinize everything you do raiti because your the type of guy who doesnt wanna hear any critizism just good things... why is that raiti?
uh, huh, I noticed he was doing 44 in 30 mph zone. Shame, shame.
