Today was test drive day for the VW ID4 GTX. Very nice car but after dropping off this car I decided to back to the Volvo garage and test drive the Volvo XC40 P8 AWD for the second time. Bit the bullet (this car is not cheap in Switzerland!) and signed the purchase agreement on the dotted line. Glad to have just watched your excellent video concerning this car and can’t wait to pick it up and start driving this fantastic beauty!!

I am 1,80m tall and at least for me, it is one of the most comfortable cars I have driven from a driving position and comfort point of view. Really love it. One big minus I have noticed so far about the car would be that in the back there is no light and that is just weird for that price range category.

@@TotallyEV I'll get back to you when it comes. The reasons for the C40 were the more efficient shape of the car which i prefer to be better looking also than XC40. The biggest factor for me are the new headlights which are the same matrix led you get with Polestar 2. My salesperson at dealership told me that C40 will be 10% more efficent than XC40. So range should get a pretty good jump.

Too bad they went for performance and not for comfort. You are right: who wants to chuck an SUV into corners? I would have rather had more comfort: thus a more soft suspension (air suspension pref) and more range instead of bulletting in 4 seconds to 100 kmh.

Volvo is bringin out a single motor version that would offer more range for those doing plenty of long distance travelling. With so many rear wheel drive versions launched this year, I think it to be a great approach from Volvo to do the AWD version first. Speaking to Volkswagen a few months ago, they also stated that the ID.4 is pulling lots of interest, but customers wanting AWD decided to wait or look elsewhere.

@@TotallyEV indeed. I just feel superlatives are thrown about a bit too easily these days such as "luxury", "genius", "legend", "hero" etc. There's no doubt that Volvo can be considered more of a premium brand these days than under Ford ownership, but in terms of luxury I'd say you could only really call the XC90 something they make which is closer to this bracket. The XC40 is a very nice car, more premium than average but it cuts corners in a number of areas, and so I think luxury would be a bit of an exaggeration and I say that as someone with a Volvo.
