Volvo XC40 2018 Review

This new car from Volvo will debut on September 10th in Thailand. This will be Volvo’s smallest SUV crossover and was developed by Geely and manufactured on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform, which will be used by all Volvo 40 in the future. This SUV may be small but it is packed with many advanced safety features such as:

• City safety
• Run-off
• Pilot Assist
• Mitigation
• Road protection
• Warning system
• Oncoming lane Mitigation
• Auto focus
• Auto brake
• Cross-traffic alert, including brake support
• A 360 degree camera

You will be able to purchase the Volvo XC40 in:

• Gasoline—the T3 will have a three-cylinder capacity with 1.5 liters with a maximum power of 156 horsepower. The T4 will have a four-cylinder capacity with 2.0 liters and maximum power of 190 horse power. The T5 is also a four-cylinder with 2.0 liters but has 247 horse powers.
• Diesel—the D4 is a Turbo four cylinder with 2.0 liters and a maximum horsepower of 190.
• Hybrid—the T5 plug-in hybrid gasoline will have a three cylinder with 1.5 liters and 250 horse power

All of the models are equipped with AWD (all wheel drive) drive and a Geartronic eight speed automatic transmission. It will first hit the market with the four-cylinder turbo charged diesel and gas engines. Later it will debut the three-cylinder turbo charged car and become the first Volvo available with this type of engine. It will also be the first to come with the Care by Volvo subscription service. This service will make having a car as transparent, hassle free, and easy as having a phone, combined with getting a new car every twenty-four months.  

In this new Volvo XC40 2018 SUV crossover, the interior cabin is spacious and has the most storage compartments in which each was designed with a specific task. There is inductive charging for your smart phone, door pockets that are large enough for a couple of large bottles or for your laptop, and a rubbish bin that is removable to keep the cup holders clean. In order to make the pockets on the doors, they did have to remove the speakers from the doors but that is a small price to pay for extra storage. There will also be a compartment under the driver’s seat for their tablet and there are cardholder slots and foldout hooks for bags. In the rear compartment there are fourty-seven cubic feet of storage space with a power-operated tailgate.

The Volvo XC 40 2018 will offer a panoramic moon roof that will be the largest in its class. It will be large enough that all the passengers, including those in the back seat, will have a brighter cabin and have a better view. It will let in the moonlight and sunlight with a power sunshade that will help to regulate the temperature inside the car. For a quiet drive the lamination will offer soundproofing along with a high level of security.
