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!!!

I bought a 2020 Volvo XC40 RDesign in August 2019 at South Bay Volvoi in Torrance, CA. I have a few questions and comments:
I like the look of the 21-inch rims that are featured in the XC40 marketing, but I was disappointed that these rims are dealer accessories only. Further, to switch out...
Hi everyone. New to the group from Canada. We purchased an XC40R Design in October 2018. Mixed feelings about it. Great car to drive, comfortable, quiet. Love most of the features. But, have been having major electronic issues since July of this year. It's been in the shop for a total of...

Just moved to the Volvo fold for the first time, waiting for delivery of a new XC40 in a couple of days - an Inscription Pro T5 - that will replace a 7-year old Skoda Yeti 4x4 which has been an excellent car. The Volvo is a step up though and I'm looking forward to getting to know it, and to...
New to the forum, I’ve had my 2019 XC40 r-design for 18 months now. I loved being the first and only in the area, now I love seeing others drive around.
I’ve had the latch mechanism on the hatch replaced twice and the gas intake replaced once. Other than those two not-so-minor issues, the car...
