Scored this beauty… Thunder Grey and Wool 2023 C40 Ultimate. Really wanted the wool but all local dealers/brokers said they’ve never seen one. Didn’t want to settle with the basic charcoal interior so I found the only dealer with a non black wool C40 about 2 hours away upstate. Called them up yesterday morning, spoke to a wonderful saleswoman and told her exactly what I wanted. She countered at .5% less and I asked again for the 9% and we accepted. Took care of all the paperwork, credit check, insurance etc yesterday and drove up this morning. Took all of 10 mins to sign; even took care of the finance office sales speech over the phone on the way up… Couldn’t be happier! They even grounded my existing 21 XC60 lease (approved early lease termination by VCFS despite multiple dealers telling me it had negative equity).
An inch or so less legroom, but negligible. Width wise, it feels about the same. The main difference I noticed is the lack of bolstering, although my XC60 was an R-Design with the heavy bolstering. In the C40, I feel like its a very flat seat. No lateral support when going around curves, especially on the lower cushion.
The manual thigh extension length wise is just as good as the XC60. Width wise it is missing the extra few inches that the XC60 provided, but it is still adequate.
Head room I am a bit closer to the roof, but enough to make me feel like I need to crouch my head down.
Oh nice… you’re probably my cousin. Thanks for the details.
I sat in one over the weekend and it’s more spacious than I presumed. Back seat is bad but this is mostly for my around town driving.
Do the C40s come with a tow receiver? Not sure if that is extra for all Volvo models or it’s something that will have to be done either through dealer or aftermarket. Just for a bike rack… not towing an Airstream.
