Had a Renault Kadjar 1.6dci AWD, had it for 6 years very good car ..
Loved the fuel mpg Volvo not so good..
loved the Bose stereo Volvo standard unit poor in comparison,
Loved the Pure Led Headlights , Volvo Led units poor in comparison.
Still early days hope its not been a mistake always thought Volvo was a premium brand.
What car are you changing from?
2020 Audi A4 Allroad 2.0 diesel - love the car but it’s coming to the end of its (extended) warranty in April and that’s the point at which I move on. I’ll miss the AWD and the interior cabin quality but the Allroad is no longer sold in the UK, so I thought I’d try something different for a few years and saw a good lease deal on an XC40 B4P Ultimate Dark. First lease in many years, and first petrol car in nearly 17 years! Not driven or even sat in an XC40 but it’s due for delivery in 3 weeks.
2024 B4P Ultimate Dark | Silver Dawn (all features present and correct)
A Mazda CX-30 2.0 Skyactiv-X GT Sport Tech. And from a manual (my first in 10 years) back to an automatic. I couldn’t get on with autohold and a manual ‘box. The XC-40 is much roomier despite only being 6cm wider. But the build quality isn’t so good - I particularly notice the clatter of the door locks and the relative tinny-ness of the doors compared to the Mazda. It also rolls significantly more. But a nice relaxing cruiser.
2023 XC40 FWD B4 Ultimate in Vapour Grey
Honda Civic 10th Generation. My wife, wanted to go back to a SUV. We looked at KIA Sportage, BMW X1, The VW Group offerings based on the Tiguan (Seat, Skoda, Audi and Coupra). She liked the Volvo XC40. We have one on order.
Thanks

I've had Landrover Discoverys since 1996 but recently decided to scale down. I found myself a lovely 2019 Volvo XC40 D3 FWD automatic. The previous owner had loads of extras fitted ie Heated steering wheel, Heated seats front and rear, Tinted windows and the automatic boot opening with a foot under the bumper. Its a lovely car and so pleased with it.
