Overview

Volvo, a Swedish luxury carmaker, has launched its latest 2020 XC40 into the Malaysian SUV market. Its predecessor has won the 2018 European Car of the Year and Japan Car of the Year, which make this car has already had a good reputation. And like its sibling, XC60 and XC90, XC40 is a level lower than them and is locally assembled, that makes the selling price of Volvo XC40 in Malaysia is cut down to RM255.888 as a compact premium SUV. By the way, it will fight against the competitors like the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and Audi Q3.

Lexus UX vs Audi Q3 vs BMW X1 vs Volvo XC40, which is the perfect car for you?

Exterior

2020 Volvo XC40 Gallery

Design

The Volvo XC40 still uses the traditional Volvo front grille and badge design and I think some people may have the same thinking as mine, XC40’s Y-shape headlights design reminds me of the Lamborghini’s headlamps. Also, the 19-inch wheels give this car a very strong stance and the taillights remind me of Honda CR-V.

Interior

Dashboard

Not like the layout of other cars, Volvo XC40’s 12.3-inch TFT Adaptive Digital Display is set lengthwise and between the two central ac vents. And you may notice that the design of ac vents is unique as well, even at first many people won’t think these are ac vents.

Instrument Cluster

In contrast, the instrument cluster in the XC40 seems simple but gives you the basic information about the vehicle and you can see which gear you are at.

Space and Practicality

Space and comfort at rear row are acceptable. However, it doesn’t offer as much thigh support as we expected and the seatback is upright. Besides, three people sitting at the rear would be crowded because of the cubbyholes on two sides.

Boot

The boot room of the XC40 is large enough for many people’s daily use, you can put many things in when you are shopping and put a couple of luggage for your travelling. If you want more, you can lay down the second-row seats.

There’s only one variant for Volvo XC40 and it uses a 2.0 4-cylinder T5 AWD R-Design engine, which can produce a maximum power of 252hp @ 5500rpm and a maximum torque of 350Nm @ 1800-4800rpm.

Transmission

The XC40’s engine is matched with an 8-speed Automatic Gearbox with Geartronic.

Driving Performance

Acceleration

With a powerful engine which can reach 252hp and 350Nm, you don’t need to worry that the Volvo XC40 will lack power. It can give great acceleration.

Engine Performance

The engine is so nice that you don’t even take much effort to put your right foot down to overpass other cars on the road.

Transmission Performance

Because the XC40 gets an 8-speed automatic gearbox, you can enjoy a fluent gearshift during your ride and there are no many jerks.

Steering and Handling

In the default setting, the steering wheel feels light but heavy at sport mode, you will have different responses at various driving modes. Also, it has a good turning circle so it’s nimble on some rough roads.

Ride Comfort

Sound Proofing

It feels pretty quiet in the cabin and at cruise speed, which is one of the necessary things as a premium SUV.

Passenger Comfort

The suspension is well-adjusted and the seats are very comfortable, these can give you an enjoyable driving experience.

Fuel Consumption

Fuel Consumption

Volvo XC40 has a mileage of about 7.7 litres per 100km, which is a very nice and economical data for a 2.0L engine.

Conclusion

With the merits of local assembling, competitive price and so on, Volvo XC40 will make the Malaysian premium compact SUV market busier than before. It has an appealing look and impressive ride quality. In addition, it gets great interiors and features as a luxury SUV with friendly fuel efficiency.
