I have the TomTom Go app on my phone and have used that in my previous car for a couple of years. Since buying the XC40 mid 2019 I haven't used my phone app.
It reroutes well enough for my purposes, suggesting an overland route if my usual motorway route is impeded.

First couple of times (in France & UK) we checked it against Google Maps, which is usually quite good at rerouting, and found that they agreed - so now we trust it to do the right thing. And trust is the main thing; you'll never really know if the rerouting works out for you every time, but you'll feel better.

The rerouting appears work well. During the recent flooding in Sussex I was on a trip to visit a friend the sat nav picked up the road some way ahead was flooded / closed and rerouted me with minimal fuss

Thanks, good to know I won't have to mess around with getting NAV via my phone or TomTom like I do in my V40.

Anyone else think that the display is a bit bland? It could do with a bit more colour and more topographical features shown IMHO.
