Volvo XC40: Full of surprises

Text and Photos by Michael Hozjan

It’s been more than a few years since I spent any time behind the wheel of a Volvo so in all honesty I didn’t know what to expect. To be more precise the last Volvo I drove was the svelte C30 Sportswagon, which paid homage to the classic P1800 Sports Wagon, both of which still remain as among my favorite Volvos. I’m glad to report that the fun factor has returned to Volvo. Let’s face it, Volvo has had its share of boring rides. Looks like all that may be history thanks to Volvo’s smallest sport utility, the stylish and sexy XC40.

The Swedish carmaker – now owned by Chinese conglomerate Geely- is the latest European to take on the lucrative suv/crossover market. Going up against established European icons like Mercedes’ GLA, Audi’s Q3, Porsche’s Macan, BMW’s X1 as well as the Range Rover Evoque is no easy task, yet this Swede is cleaning up the compact suv market.

Unlike the Q3, X1 and Macan, which appear to be shrunken versions of their big brothers, the XC40 not only easily distinguishes itself from its larger siblings, the XC 60 and XC90 but clearly sets itself apart from the slew of cookie cutter crossovers on today’s roads.

Three trim levels make up the XC40 line up with prices starting at $39,750 for the entry level Momentum and topping off at $48,200 for the Inscription (who comes up with these names). My well-equipped middle of the road R-Design starts off at $45,650.

For the added six grand tag over the base model the R-Design gets two zone climate control, a cooled glove box, power passenger seat, panoramic sun roof, paddle shifters, cornering lights, a sport-tuned chassis and 19” wheels.

All XC40s ride on a brand-new platform that uses a space-efficient, cost effective coil/four-link rear suspension. There’s a slew of powerplants available, including a diesel, sadly they’re not available here.

Supplying the go for the Canadian market to the all-wheel-drive is Volvo’s T5 turbocharged 2.0L inline four cylinder mated to an 8-speed automatic. With 248-horsepower and 258 lb.ft. of torque on tap the XC40 easily muscles its way through the competition, including some the sports car-oriented marques, scurrying the crossover from 0 to 100 kms in a mere 6.5 seconds. The ride is composed over all but the roughest terrain.

The automatic is smooth and easily responds to throttle inputs when going through the gears with the paddle shifters and makes tackling serpentine roads a joy.

Sadly, and the only reason I see behind it is an effort to be “different” but shifting into gear from Park is…well…a pain in the butt and even after a week in the driver’s seat was still cursing the “engineer” who thought of this one. When shifting out of Park you need to pull OR push the gear lever into neutral then tap it twice to the back for Drive and if you want to back up tap it twice forward. Ya, a pleasure for parallel parking. We’ve been shifting from Park to Reverse to Neutral to Drive for years. Why change something that isn’t broken?

The interior is spacious, very spacious, considering the XC40’s exterior dimensions but I was floored when I opened the doors to my R-Design. It came with the loud Lava Orange two-tone colour scheme. Yes there is a more docile interior that you don’t have to pay extra for.

Admittedly I kinda like the loudness, it certainly brightened up the cabin, although questioned the use of orange “ozite” carpet material on the door panels, and its wear ability. The rest of the interior’s fit and finish is second to none and the use of other materials isn’t as drastic and often complimentary. There are pockets and cubbyholes galore to keep all your peripherals in place whether they are large water bottles or wireless cell phone charging.

One small item that really impressed me was a slot on the center console with a flap. No need to open the armrest to slip in gas or toll receipts. Smart. There’s also a place to store the cargo blind/parcel shelf under the cargo bay’s floor.

The buckets are comfortable and supportive with just the right amount of side bolstering. Good visibility is what we’ve come to expect from suvs and the Volvo delivers.

As I said it’s been a while since I drove a Volvo and was dumbfounded by its lack of buttons/dials on the dash. Luckily the audio volume still has a dial so no need to fiddle. The large screen is more than an infotainment center, it’s the heart of the car’s controls for everything you can think of and then some. After getting past the first few days of cursing I found the screen easy enough to navigate around, but it did take some getting used to and going through the menus and submenus by tapping, scrolling, swiping and retapping, no matter what size the screen, distracts the eyes from the road. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I wish designers would realize they are working on cars and not a spaceship.

Annoyances are minor there are a few I could do without. It won’t release the parking brake if you’re not wearing your seat belt, pain in the butt if you just want to move it a couple of feet or are trying to maneuver it into a tight spot. Come on Volvo give us some credit! The large tablet-sized screen not only shows greasy fingers it naturally shows more glare.

It’s not perfect but despite the oddities, and that’s what I’ll call them the XC40 is a great little wagon. Hopefully Volvo will step in and remedy them. It attracts lots of attention on the road as well as the mall so be prepared for a lot of questions from the young and old alike. I averaged 9.53L/100 kms which was mostly highway driven, a bit on the high side for the size of the vehicle and considering the roads were dry and suspect it will improve over time.

The Crystal White Pearl paint job added another $900 to the sticker price, 20” wheels ($1,475), the Lava Orange interior trim added another $150. The premium package ($1,750) included some needed niceties for our climate including headlight washers, heated wiper blades (YAY!) heated steering wheel and rear seats. As well as blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alert. The Harman Kardon sound system ($900) and nav ($1000) brought the final tally up to $53,890. Not exactly cheap for a compact crossover but on the other hand not dear for a well-equipped, formidable, stylish, comfortable highway cruiser.

Not all SUVs are born equal—so to help you pick your ride wisely; we’re going to look at the top sports utility vehicle (SUV) models available in the Philippines. Regardless of the worsening traffic conditions on Metro Manila roads, having a SUV in the Philippines can be advantageous. These vehicles perform excellently in any condition and they are ready for any challenge on the road.

Top SUV Models In the Philippines Although they’re pricier than the more famous sedans and hatchbacks, the SUV is unparalleled in terms of performance, power, and comfort.

If you’re still in the market for a heightened ride, we’re here to give you some tips on how to pick the best SUV for you, what are the pros and cons of getting a unit from the said segment, and which among the SUVs in the Philippine market suit your needs best.

For our SUV picks, we chose units based on two factors: the most affordable ones and the most popular models in the Philippines.

Why should I buy an SUV? SUVs aren’t just for politicians anymore. In the most recent years, the market has been flooded with a good variety of units as well as newer, more customer-friendly subsegments such as subcompact SUVs and crossovers.

To help you decide if an SUV is the vehicle model for you, we’ve covered some of the most common reasons why people who picked SUV’s found them a good investment.

1. To have a ride that can withstand flooding In a country as flood prone as the Philippines, even light rains can cause water levels to riser and roads to become almost impassable. Your average family car or subcompact hatch may easily turn into a submarine during a flood, but not your trusted SUV.

To measure a vehicle’s flood-busting capabilities, you need to understand two factors that affect it: ground clearance, which is the distance between the base of the tire and the axle, and wading depth or the maximum water height a car can withstand with going inside sensitive components such as electronics, engine enclosure, and air intake.

On average, your typical sedan only has around 120 millimeters of ground clearance and its wading depth only a little over it due to its body style. Meanwhile, SUVs are specifically designed to have high ground clearance of at least 200 millimeters and a wading capacity of up to 800 millimeters due heightened suspension, large wheels, snorkel, and other features.

(Read: How To File An Insurance Claim When Your Car Gets Flooded) 2. Space is king If your job requires you to carry lots of items or equipment every day—in style, of course—then a sedan’s trunk or subcompact’s hatch is not enough for you. With an SUV, not only do you get bigger cargo space, but you can also configure your car’s space to suit your carrying needs.

For starters, SUVs have an average of 650 liters of boot space, which is more than enough for your needs. However, folding the rear bench will expand it further to more than twice its normal capacity. If length is all you need, then you can put down your truck’s rightmost seats (including the front passenger seat) for maximum carrying capacity.

Are you worried that your cargo may to heavy? Have faith in your car’s engine to do the heavy work. While some smaller SUVs have a minimum of 2.0-liter engine under their hood, more gigantic rides can have 6.2-liter V8 engines that can crank out at least 400 horsepower. That’s enough power to pull a mini dump truck with full load every day.

3. To own a people carrier City cars like sedan and subcompacts are good for, well, city driving. If you own one, you can ferry up to five people without a hitch. However, those who have bigger families may tend to look at the SUV as their top vehicle choice for people transport—and we have a few good reasons why.

For starters, your midsize SUV can comfortably carry up to seven people with the 2-3-2 seating configuration. For full-size versions, the third row can accommodate up to three passengers, raising the seating capacity to eight people. A family of five can be comfortable with a midsize one and even carry enough cargo with them on the go.

Even compact SUVs have been trying to carry as much people as possible, with some units’ high-end trims offering a third-row seat as part of their package. Although it’s not as comfortable as the bigger ones, it can come in handy if you have kids on board.

(Read: Vehicle Classifications Guide: Which Segment Does Your Car Really Fall Under?) 4. Comfort, safety, and freedom If features like performance or carrying capacity aren’t your priority, then there are other reasons why an SUV is a compelling drive for you.

For starters, SUVs offer higher ceilings and bigger legroom for their occupants, giving them a better onboard experience. If you have someone else driving and you want better seating amenities, you can convert middle seats into captain’s chairs for top-notch comfort—and leg rests. Who doesn’t want that?

For safety features, your typical SUV comes with all the features that can help your everyday driving secure: anti-lock braking system, airbags, and others. In addition, they also perform great during crash tests due to the distance between the impact and the front passengers being mitigated by the engine compartment. Other extra features that are offered to more top-spec brands include blind spot detectors, parking cameras, and other safety systems in place.

Finally, its ability to navigate any terrain offers the ultimate freedom wherever you go. Whether you want to do a weekend off-road challenge, or you just need to survive the hellish traffic in the country, the SUV is well-suited to do the task you need it to do.

The downsides of getting an SUV Like everything else, SUVs are not perfect. Although they come with great advantages, some of their downsides might turn off potential buyers, especially if the latter outweighs the former. Since making decisions require you to also see the cons, here are some of the disadvantages you need to consider before deciding on an SUV:

1. They are expensive Unlike smaller vehicles, you cannot own a brand-new mid-size SUV that is below the P1-million mark. For that amount, you can get compact variants and you can only snag one if you pay in cash.

2. They are heavy gas consumers What makes city cars great is their fuel efficiency even during ¬a standstill traffic. SUVs, since they have bigger engines, do not have this advantage. There’s a reason why the term “gas guzzlers” is still latching on to the variant even with better technologies.

(Read: Fuel-Saving Tips: How To Save Gas On Manual And Automatic Cars) 3. They cost more to insure Even when they depreciate, SUVs tend to have a higher fair market value than other vehicles. Vehicles with higher price tag have a heftier insurance premium. And for those who carry more than five people—the standard number of passengers covered by the auto personal accident coverage—you need to also pay for the rest of the passengers to make sure everyone is covered.

4. There are risks inherent in their design SUVs are pretty hard to maneuver. Couple that with a high center of gravity and trying to avoid crashing into something and you have the perfect recipe for a rollover. It may not be common but there’s a possibility it might happen to you.

Vehicle Brand * on higher-end vehicle models What should I look for when buying an SUV? It’s easy to get swayed by sales talk if you don’t know what you want from a vehicle. To help you become more discerning with your search for your dream SUV, we’ve prepared some questions you should ask yourself and your salesman:

Size: Should I get a five-seater subcompact SUV? Compact? Midsize? Full-size? Seating: Do I need only five seats? Seven? Eight or nine? Maybe the captain’s chair? Cargo: Do I want a huge compartment size? Should the back seats fold to the floor? Am I fine with split design for the third-row seats? Drivetrain: Should I get a two-wheel drive? Four-wheel drive? Part time? Performance: Do I prefer fuel economy over power or the vice versa? Safety features: Am I fine with basic features? Or do I want top-tier safety protocols like forward collision warning, parking assist, and others? Other features: Do you want a more expensive trim with other features like sunroof, more stylish body kits, upgraded tires, more safety features?

4. Isuzu mu-X Price: P1.286 million

There’s a reason why the Fortuner still remains as king even when its prices go up.

5. Chevrolet Trailblazer Price: Starts at P1.618 million

Chevrolet Trailblazer Unlike other SUVs within its category, the Trailblazer tries to get away from the whole “macho” image of bigger rides.

Guthrie Jr. fought through rain and heavy winds to qualify first. In the main, Guthrie Jr. showcased the terrain-dominating features of the new RZR XP Turbo S Velocity and exercised true talent to outpace the competition in the world’s toughest one-day off-road race.

“We blew a belt and lost the lead. It was totally my fault,” said Guthrie Jr. With a quick belt change, he and co-driver John Crowley, Jr. were able to re-gain the lead again going up Clawhammer. “The RZR XP Turbo S Velocity was flawless.”

Polaris RZR Factory drivers Wayland Campbell and Brandon Sims finished second and third, respectively, and completed the all-RZR podium. With a finish time of 5:19:09, Campbell edged out Sims by one minute, three seconds.

“A huge sigh of relief when I pulled into Hammertown,” said Sims. “I just kept thinking ‘Keep it together.’ The RZR was great all day and is a testament to its strength. It was a rough race.”

The Renault Amulet The Vehicle That The French Will not Offer United States.

Last year, 24 thousand Britons participated in mobile phone video games, baseding on market research organization Newzoo.

RSI Comm-Link: Q&A: Origin X1

Q&A: Origin X1

Greetings Citizens!

Since the introduction of the Hull Series back in April 2015, every new concept ship reveal has had an accompanying Q&A post, where we spend a couple days collecting questions from you, pass those on to the relevant ship designer, and provide you the best answers we have available at that time.

With the recent addition of Spectrum, we can now allow you to add your vote to the questions you most want to see answered. The questions included below are a combination of those that received the most votes, similar questions that were merged into a single instance, and those we felt we could comfortably answer at this stage in the Origin X1’s development.

Now that the ship is concept complete, it will enter our development pipeline where many of the answers you see below will be fleshed out, and those missing will be determined and implemented. While it will still be some time before we see the Origin X1 in game, we hope you’re as excited as we are as the game expands with the further development of Origin ships in the Star Citizen universe.

As always, a special thanks to John Crewe, Todd Papy, Ben Lesnick and Steven Kam for their help in answering your questions.

Let’s get to it. -DL

How does X1 Base/Force/Velocity compare against the Nox and Dragonfly in speed, durability, and overall performance?

The X1 Baseline is the all-rounder of the three. Compared to the Dragonfly, the X1 will provide more speed/agility without the rugged terrain handling and additional passenger seat that serves as 1SCU of cargo holding in the Drake offering. Versus the Nox, it may not be as fast or as well armed (one gun vs two) but is more durable (hull and pilot-wise) while providing better visibility for the occupant.

The X1 Velocity is more agile than the X1 Baseline due to reduced weight (hull and equipment loadout choice) and can reach higher top speeds than the stock X1. With the X1 Force variant, Infinity Customs has extended the hull section between the tail fins which houses an additional shield generator slot providing more resistance against incoming weapon fire than any other bike currently on the market, including the Dragonfly and Nox. This allows you to shrug off those extra hits in combat should you be discovered during reconnaissance. A scout’s usefulness in recon often depends greatly on being able to bring that information home.

Will the X1 Force have special features such as increased scanning or stealth capability? If so, what kind?

The X1 Force differs from the rest of the X1 lineup and the other snubs by having a second shield generator providing increased defensive capability. With Industrial C-Grade components installed standard, items such as the radar and scanner are of a higher grade than the other X1’s but do not offer any new abilities, simply providing better baseline performance for the same tasks. Under the “exploration” category think of it more as an advanced scout, able to sneak close to enemy forces and observe them and should they be discovered, make successful escape more likely due to an additional shield generator. With only the single S1 gun it may not have the offensive capabilities of the Dragonfly or Nox, but the second shield should offset any advantage Origin’s competitors may possess.

How does a person get into and out of the X1?

The side of the X1 opens up allowing the user to enter/exit and interact with the internal components for repair. Here’s an animation from the early blockout exploring how it works.

How do the three X1 differ? Are they physical hull variants, the same hull but with different loadouts, or just skin swaps?

The three X1’s are designer-customized variants with different physical hulls, courtesy of Alberto Vara. The Velocity contains a Competition C-Grade loadout and lightweight hull optimized for performance, removing unnecessary drag like the weapon hardpoint while the Force has its slightly wider hull designed to house the extra shield generator hardpoint. Due to these special modifications unique to each X1 variant, they cannot be recreated completely by swapping components on the X1 Baseline.

Additionally, we’re looking to address the visibility/readability of what ships are hull variants, paint & loadout swaps, or utilize the module system in the upcoming rework of the ship stats matrix, but it’s worth considering that a space bike, being a very small and tightly constructed vehicle, is a little more limited than larger vehicles in general when it comes to supporting pervasive modularity.

Is there an advantage to having the Origin X1 Baseline over a Velocity or Force? Why would anyone want to use the base model?

It very much depends on what you want to use your X1 for. For the most part, we expect the Velocity to be preferred largely by specialist or dedicated racers, as the lack of weapon hardpoints limit its options for day to day use compared to its variants. With the X1 Force, you can get extra defensive shielding and improved scanning but at the cost of weight and an increase in price; just as the Velocity sheds mass to become a better racer, the Force trades a bit in that department for taking on extra gear. The X1 Baseline may be the most well-rounded of the three at a more comfortable price.

The X1 Force has a S1 Laser Repeater while the Baseline has an S1 Laser Cannon. What’s the difference, and why is one more suitable to fulfill the Force’s role?

Laser repeaters put a more continuous stream of fire down and are better suited for target saturation, while cannons (Ballistic and Laser) require a more precise sense of marksmanship due to their lower rate of fire. Your mileage may vary, but many people generally find repeaters easier to get used to. Also worth noting: default loadouts are exactly that. You may swap out for any S1 weapon that suits your personal preferences.

What advantage does the second shield generator of the FORCE provide? Will it provide life support (atmospheric shielding keeping oxygen in/non-breathable atmosphere out) to the pilot?

The shield generators on the X1 Force are defensive in nature and aren’t a Tevarin-style “air shield” you might find on larger spacecraft. All of the X1 Variants and current spacebikes from Drake and Aopoa are “open-canopy” craft and therefore lack integrated life support. You’re going to want to wear an appropriate suit for the environment you expect to be riding through.

How long until we can expect to see the X1 in game?

The X1 is not scheduled for Alpha 3.0 and is intended for a future 3.x patch; we hope to have a better idea the cadence for additional ships coming online once work on 3.0 is finished.

What are the differences between the variants? Right now all the stats say TBD.

Aside from the aforementioned hardpoint changes there will be differences between the default equipped items such as coolers, power plants, shield generators, radars, etc. If you drill down to the default equipment options that are currently visible, you will see the Baseline has Civilian C components, while the Velocity has Competition C and the Force comes standard with Industrial C-Grade fittings. At present, these individual items are currently awaiting names from the Lore Team so are displayed as TBD.

Will there be no-fly-zones in space where small vehicles like spacebikes will be necessary? (ex: minefields, dense asteroid and debris fields, derelict space stations)

Absolutely, spacebikes like the X1 are perfect for short distance exploration in space from parent ships like the examples listed. Asteroids and Debris Fields limit larger ships entry and the distance of the fields make personal EVA quite lengthy so the bikes fill the gap in space. Many of you have already experienced in Arena Commander how different (and perilous!) it can be to navigate larger ships through asteroid clutter.

How does the X1 Velocity compare to the NOX Kue or Dragonfly for racing purposes?

It depends on where you decide to race. Out of the three listed the Dragonfly can find itself at significant disadvantage in clear terrain and would rely on the other two to make a error to be competitive against them. In more rugged terrain the Dragonfly can find itself taking “short cuts” over geography that would hamper the performance of its competitors. A contest between the Nox Kue and X1 Velocity could be closer, with the Nox having a possible advantage with its fixed thrusters and the ability to start turning more quickly.

If the X1 Force is an exploration variant – will it be able to drop Nav Beacons like the Cyclone Recon?

This is not currently planned as there is nowhere to store the Nav Beacons on the X1.

Is uh… this apartment in the background going to be for sale sometime, too? Because that is a REALLY nice place. Love that ultra-minimalist furniture scheme.

No announcement on this just yet! We’re pleased you like it, though!

How well will the X1 fare in Pizza Delivery?

Ah Citizen, my old friend. Do you know the Vanduul proverb that tells us pizza is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in space.

Can it hold any cargo?

There is no space for any cargo to be carried on any X1 variant and no plans at present to do an X1 cargo variant. We figured someone would ask, but all vehicles engage in a little give-and-take in design order to do the things that they do. The X1 is a sleek little speedster designed with pilot preservation in mind, while the Dragonfly with its limited 1SCU cargo ability has a more utility focus.

Why is the X1 twice as heavy, as the other similarly sized bikes (1000 vs 2000 kg). Does it have larger components, like a bigger powerplant or bigger main thruster?

With the updated ship stats matrix coming soon all ships will be getting revised mass values and it looks like these values started to sneak out a little early! The website was incorrect to list all three variants with the same weight; they do all weigh different amounts. The Velocity is much closer to the Nox’s weight, the base slightly more and then the Force at the upper end of the scale near to the Dragonfly.

Can the base X1 be upgraded through components to any of the other two superior models?

As mentioned above: not completely due to them being actual variants with fundamental structural differences. You could remove the weapon and swap the internal components out to configure a base X1 similarly to a Velocity but it won’t be as light or nimble as the dedicated variant. Additionally, you could swap the Laser Cannon for the Laser Repeater (or other weapon of choice) and upgrade the internal components to Industrial components like the Force variant, but there still wouldn’t be a structural hardpoint for the second shield generator, so you’d end up with a heavier X1 Baseline. Often, variants represent a design tradeoff where we push a given design to perform even better at certain edges of the envelope, and that makes them special – but we expect overall customization to be part of the fun also, and look forward to the type of X1 you can make for yourself.
