Re: Dash cam cameras for the XC40
The DR750 has much better night time performance than the DR650......good independent comparison video on YouTube.

Re: Dash cam cameras for the XC40
I’ve been looking into all the different dash cams available as I think they’re becoming more and more necessary. The most advanced one to date will be available in the UK in the next month or so. It’s the Blackvue DR900S - 2ch.......the first 4K dash cam. It uses a more advanced compression system ...

Re: XC40’s Out in the Wild
Thanks Boomer, will look into that....would be great to disable it without going into various menu levels on screen. Probably would spare the time to cycle through the mode button.

Re: XC40’s Out in the Wild
As far as I can see, you can only program out start/stop in dynamic mode.......think that would make car less “easy going”. If anyone can suggest a solution to stopping the start/stop, I’d be most grateful. I just don’t like the engine cutting out all the time......most cars have a button you can pr...

Re: XC40’s Out in the Wild
Range is important to me as I’ve got used to 500-600 miles with diesels.....electric cars like I-Pace Jaguar will have greater range than a T5.....needs a bigger fuel tank. Not any noticeable turbo lag.....performance very effortless, agree that the gearbox probably accounts for the improvement. Big...

Re: XC40’s Out in the Wild
Picked up my FE T5 last Friday, replacing my wife’s Audi A3 diesel quattro. Must say it’s the most comfortable car i’ve driven. Excellent ride (19 inch wheels from choice) and very refined engine. I have a Range Sport and the T5 feels equally quick and refined. The steering feels just right and very...

Ordered by dealer a week before collection......no obvious difficulty to obtain the mats.

Re: Floor mats
Yes, I picked up my T5 FE with rubber mats and load floor protector on Friday......fit nicely and worth having......the rear mat goes right across and has a curved section over the transmission tunnel between the seats.

Autocar 28th February - Volvo XC40 vs Every Rival
Another brilliant review. Comparison test .......
XC40 versus VW Tiguan,Audi Q3 ,Mazda CX5 ,Ford Kuga ,BMW X1 and Citroen DS7.
Unsurprisingly the XC40 won......well worth reading.
E-pace not available yet, would have been interesting to have had that in the comparison test too.

Volvo XC40 review: one of the most desirable SUVs at any size or price
Another excellent review, this time from the Telegraph. This weeks Autocar will include a comparison test of the XC40 versus six main rivals......can’t wait to see their verdict!
