What did he choose?

Volvo XC40 1.5 T3 163HP R Design in Glacier Silver.  The R-Design would be our preference as even with the sports suspension it still is extremely comfortably.  Also, with higher specification models like the R-Design the residual values are better which will result in you getting a better-looking car for less than you would think.

The XC 40 is an excellent family car with plenty of room in the boot not to mention a great looking car.

I was able to find the XC40 in stock which meant that Ashley was in his new car in 10 days.  At Carmercial we were also able to take his Jetta in as a trade in and arranged the finance paperwork within that time period as well.

What we like with the Volvo XC40

• The XC40’s design is a refreshing change from it’s German competitors and it is considerably cheaper than a Q3, Q5, X3 or X5 so it is better for your pocket too.
• The design is consistent with other Volvo’s with their ‘Thor Hammer’ headlights.
• Slightly smaller than some of the German competitors but still plenty of room for the family and a great sized boot.
• Range of petrol, diesel, hybrid engines and the option for fully electric called the Recharge Twin. The most affordable ones come with front wheel drive and a manual gearbox.  The higher performance models come with an automatic gearbox and 4-wheel drive.
• Ashley chose the Volvo XC40 1.5 T3 163HP R Design which can do 0-62mph in 9.6 seconds which is plenty of power for most buyers.
• The suspension and ride comfort of the XC40 is better than the X1, Jaguar E-Pace and even the Range Rover Evoque and VW Tiquan.

I have recently taken one of the Hybrid XC40 Volvo’s out for an in-depth review and test drive.  Check out one of the videos below:
