After having an XC40 for the weekend through Volvos Test Drive Plus, I was so impressed that I went to the dealer this morning to order one. Went for an Inscription Pro B4 petrol in Crystal White. Quoted delivery time is early November at the minute so now the wait begins.

Congratulations

Seems to be a growing number of members of the xc40 clan

Well done sir, it’s a tremendous motor

What really surprised me about the XC40 is that when I test drove an XC60 4 years ago I wanted to love it but actually I hated it, couldn’t get comfy in it, and of course the tech was very much of the time.

The XC40, although a smaller SUV, is so much more improved. Makes me wonder how good a modern day XC60 would be, the seats certainly look to be a huge improvement on the old model.

I had a test drive in an inscription pro but leather seats were a struggle for me and a couple of little niggly things made me cross it off my list.

It had to be better than my 3008 to consider it and my personal choice was that I didn’t feel it was any better .

Lovely car though and I can see why it is so popular.

Enjoy.

Fabulous value on the scheme right now, the default choice for around 2k, unless of course you prefer the extra grunt and economy offered by diesel.

That’s a good point Mark.
I weighed up the extra cost of my diesel choices vs the extra fuel I’ll use over the three years with the B4 engine and it’s negligible really. Well that’s my excuse anyway! ?  I’ll definitely miss the diesel torque though. It’ll be my first petrol car for a long time.

Hopefully, when I get mine, I won’t use up all of the full tank of petrol before I get home. ?

Wayne, I do miss the smoothness and lovely engine note of my previous petrol Leon, but like all aspects of life, you can’t have everything ,,,??
