Chinese automakers have been stepping up the fight to compete in markets and segments that all well established we're familiar with do by now. Geely is one of them and will be using our XC40's CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform to launch their own crossover called the FY11 . Personally i'm not a fan it, design needs a lot of work to 1) be more original and 2) actually look half decent. In fact I should probably retitle the end of this thread to 'ugly sibling'. Glad see this happen since Geely acquired Volvo and are stepping up development under the Geely marque using Volvo research and development.
Personally, I don't think it is bad looking. From the angle of those pictures, it resembles more of a BMW X6 or MB GLE coupe, to me. But I agree that it is not a very original design.

I think it looks decent too, assuming it will be a much cheaper alternative to newer SUV's from German brands. Availability is a concern though, because I don't think its going to be offered globally. I've seen no confirmation for Europe.

Sure they can win on price but that's only good for short-term buyers. Once you've gotten well past the break in period, concerns around reliability start to grow.
The adoption rates for these Chinese alternatives will be very low in NA/Europe to start. Initial build quality looks decent, but people will be wary of an unestablished brand. Riding on the same platform as the XC40 is a smart way to invoke confidence.

I’m planning to buy the R Design XC40 in either Bursting Blue or Crystal White with the black top. I’m leaning towards the blue.
Any thoughts on which color to choose other than personal preference? Might scratches show less in the white? I had a friend tell me her black Volvo had a black...
So, I have a car on order, although I am not committed to it as the dealer knows it'll sell anyways (end of April is scheduled). I've owned many cars, but never one as governed by a touch screen as the XC40. I've read conflicting reports on the pros/cons of the intuitiveness of this touch...

Have been loving the heated steering wheel more than I could have imagined, but my feet are always cold in the XC40. Anyone else have that problem?
The vents don't seem to be placed well.
I have a USB (flas drive) with all my music in it and all the music is in different folders according to Genre eg. a folder with rock, another with pop music, and so on.
When I inserted the USB in one of the two available slots, the car is re-ordering and sorting the songs alpabetically and I...
