Got my car last week, love it.

In my last car (V40) I could fit the service log/manual, two bottles of water, sunglasses, vape case, cloths, wipes, tissues, pens.

In the XC40 I'm lucky to get a small bottle of water and a single packet of travel/pocket size tissues (plus a pen in the holder) with the log/manual in the boot. If I left the log/manual in the glovebox, that's about all it will fit.

I get that the door pockets are pretty big but I hate stuff sitting out. Plus they aren't cooled.

It's effectively useless!

Thought there was a separate space at top for manual?

Have you ducked down so you can see it? Noticed a lot of reviewers miss it.

I'll take a look, I'd read that space was lost for the RHD version but I'll check. Even still, the glovebox is pretty tiny!
