What's up everyone! After much shopping for a small SUV that was fun (my requirement) and comfortable (my wife's requirement) to drive, we both liked what the XC40 had to offer after comparing it to an Audi Q5, Mazda CX5 Signature Trim and a couple of other options.
However, we almost gave up on the XC40 and went with the XC60 since they are so **** hard to find! One particular Volvo dealer near me is even marking up the R and Momentum they have on the lot (seriously?). We got lucky by stumbling into Volvo Cars Seattle and they had an Inscription, just the way we would have ordered it, except for the color. The story goes that Volvo brought 5 for the auto show in Seattle and they only had space for 4, so they gave one to the dealership. We were lucky to walk in the same day they got the car.
So here we are, with an XC40 Inscription, within 3 weeks of our search. If we hadn't found it, we would have had to settle on something else since we needed a car now and could not wait for the delivery times that are being quoted.
Congrats!!! Such a beauty!
I lucked out with my dealer texting me as a car was coming off the truck... I wanted white and black..but ended up with the even more elusive silver and black! Loooovvvveee it!!!

Autofaher, welcome to the forum! Sweet ride and she is beautiful! Please keep us informed on you likes and dislikes with the vehicle. For us who are patiently waiting for either their ordered XC40 or dealer stock, currently live through you guys who have them already! Take care and enjoy your XC40!
Hi
just joined. Have had a XC40 R-Design Pro T5 since October last year. Still only covered 450 miles due to the use of our other daily driver. Will be putting on loads more miles soon due to retirement.
Found it to be a very steep learning curve - previous car was a Mini JCW. The Mini was...
I'll be taking delivery on my 2020 XC40 R Design in a few days, Thunder Gray with Black top, many bells and whistles. Looking forward to it—goes without saying, I guess!
Bonjour à toutes et tous,
Heureux prorpiétaire d'un XC40 Momentum de 2020
Mais déçu par le système Sensu Connect ... Le bluethoot fonctionne avec mon Android mais impossible d'installer d'autres applications, de dévérouiller ou vérouiller le véhicule, bref ... ca ne marche pas à 100% Quelqu'un...
Picked up my T5 XC40 Design Pro today. First time Volvo owner. Last car Merc. AMG A45. Wife was having trouble getting in and out due to low seating so needed something higher. Looking forward to driving it and the comments on the site.
New to this forum - I've driven the XC40 for a year now. Overall very happy with one important mod: Dedicated winter wheels and snow tires worked amazingly well during this past snowy winter! I picked up the car in Sweden in August 2018 and after putting 3000+ miles on it driving in Europe it...
