Hi, I have a 2021 XC40 with the " cornering lights" and they are something else. I went out last night to actually use the lights in the dark, I've only had the car since April! My previous car was a Tiguan with Bi-xenons, and I thought they were good, but these actually put them in the shade- no pun intended! I can't wait for the dark nights LOL

Yes, I've only just driven my Inscription Pro after dark and totally agree, the cornering headlights are really good. Have not experienced this feature before, so it's totally new to me.

Here's me hoping that a facelift will see them upgrade the lights to match all the other Volvo models - proper adaptive lights that detect and respond to other road users, rather than simply bend with the steering wheel.

That's just the Active High Beam which switches between dipped and high beam in reaction to oncoming headlights. The XC40 doesn't have adaptive headlights - these change their pattern depending on what's in front, for example keeping full beam on the verges but not on the vehicle you are following. Volvo's version of this is called Adaptive Shadow Technology and it's on every model except the XC40.

As jamie307 said, XC40 doesn’t offer adaptive shadow headlight technology. I was also confused about this at the time of my order since the XC40 online car configurator was showing a video demo for bending headlights package with adaptive shadow. The dealer later explained the video in the configurator was not for XC40, saving me from a major disappointment. Today, C40 Recharge offers led-matrix technology that hopefully will be included in the upcoming XC40 facelift.
Ah, I was misled by the video. Apologies.eugen61 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 2:45 pmAs jamie307 said, XC40 doesn’t offer adaptive shadow headlight technology.
