    I would totally pick one of these up. I really like the size of them.

    From 4:35-5:18 you talked about "a very big downside". Why? Just use the Voice command to change fan or temperature. It’s so easy and quickly done.

    • @JerreMuesli
      @JerreMuesli Před 2 měsíci

      I honestly don't like to use voice control and I don't think I'm a minority. In my personal opinion, temperature control should always have manual buttons.

    “Hey Google, change temp to 70 degrees.”
    Also the latest OTA update provides range in the cluster.

      Good to know about the OTA!
      Although I personally think requiring voice commands for anything besides dictating a text message is very dumb

    Looks great. Can't justify 62k for a city car, though.

      You can buy one that’s a year old for about 35 to 45k if you look around and don’t mind driving a bit to get to the car

    • @JerreMuesli
      @JerreMuesli Před 2 měsíci

      Euh. It's not a city car. Eventually you get a car with over 400 horsepower. The 2024 model has 442hp and does 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds. Try finding a brand new car that runs on gas with that room and those performances for 62k...

    Since you reviewed it, Volvo has release OTA software updates - v2.9 brought the expected mile range and Apple Maps Nav to the driver display. It was an annoying absence but the update makes it much more useable. The best thing to do is to lease to get the $7,500 credit applied to purchase... then, if you're interested in buying, you can get it at the final lease value.

    Volvo always has the best seats. A family member had a S70 T5 back in the day and the front seats were so comfy.

  • @anthonyc5393
    @anthonyc5393 Před 10 měsíci +1

    Overlooked items: Rare is the EV which offers an OPENING moonroof and a rear wiper and if you want a frunk, the XC40 Recharge might be the only one with all that. And the review presumes that because this is an EV, it's got a frunk. VW ID.4, Audi Q4, Mercedes EQB have no frunk, so don't assume that all EVs have them. It's exciting that the XC40 is getting much longer range and RWD as an option, for 2024. Bummer how layered the controls are though. Bring back knobs and buttons!

    I live near where these cars get built and see them driving around all the time i think they look great, this will also probably be my dads next car so great to see what you have to say about it

    • @JerreMuesli
      @JerreMuesli Před 2 měsíci

      Yeah they're very much present in Belgium. Not only because of the factory is here but also because we have a lot of company cars and they all have to be electric nowadays.

    at 2:17 to be fair the two other Volvo's are rocking Illinois FP plates, so those are fleet plates (likely rentals), not personal vehicles.

    I mean I wish at least a fan speed and temperature were physical with my volvo. Also this has a more matte paint under the hood like my v60.

    Don't get your annoyance on the climat control .... you can use your voice commands since it's google based .. right :-) Don't see the issue ..

    I own an XC40. It’s a piece of $#it. The only thing “luxury” about this car is the price. You can get a much better car by spending the same amount of money (or even less, actually) on a Mercedes Benz. Which I also used to own. Big downgrade to Volvo XC40

      I wish Volvo had made a non-halo version of the Polestar 1. Put the S60's powertrain in it and it would have been great to sell at a normal retail price and production. Such a good-looking car, though it also kind of looks like a Dodge Charger coupe.

    It’s not a city car. And you can tell Google to change the temperature, and more. Your review it’s ok not a great one
