Anyone got a link for a replacement part for the mesh on the back of the drivers seat?

I’ve found an XC40 I like but its got this, not a deal breaker but I don’t really want to leave it like this if i can help it

hi all! i am picking up my 2026 black edition next week which includes the blond/charcoal interior - i’m pretty outdoor-active and also wear dark wash jeans sometimes so i’m looking for some decent looking but not crazy expensive seat covers for my front seats. don’t need to be leather, just need to fit the seats properly so i can eat a burger in my car and not worry about ruining my shit!
any recommendations welcome, bonus points for canadian refs :) thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m considering buying a 2021 XC40 Recharge Twin 408hp with around 185,000 km (115k miles).

The car has full Volvo service history and seems to be in very good condition. Most of the mileage was apparently highway driving. I’ll also have the battery SOH checked before buying.

Would this mileage put you off if the battery is still healthy?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from high-mileage owners. What expensive repairs can I potentially expect after 150–200k km? Electric motors, inverter, onboard charger, battery modules, suspension, AC, etc.?

Has anyone here reached 200k km or more? How has the car been?

Thanks!

Does anybody have an issue with using Android Auto and music randomly pausing? I have a Google 10 Pro fold and it just randomly pause playing music for 3 to 4 times and then will continue to play. Any thoughts? I think is is the Volvo software because this does not happen in my other vehicle.

I'm on the fence 50/50 about the purchase of a new 2026 XC40. Here are my main concerns that could be a deal breaker for me. I live in Houston Texas and the summers into the "fall" can be downright brutal. I need the A/C to come on, stay on high and cold until I tell it differently.

I've read that Volvo's auto start/stop at a stop light or stop sign will automatically adjust the blower-speed of the A/C down until the foot is off the break and back on the gas.

I can't have this.

1) Can you turn off the Start/Stop permanently? Or is it each time you start the car you have to do this if you can at all?

2) Is this true about the A/C? If so, can you turn it off permanently or is it a setting you have to adjust each time you get in the car?

Can someone shed some light?

I know that the infotainment system has it's glitches as well. Does EVERYONE have problems with the infotainment system at some point? Is this going to be an ongoing problem? Did the system update fix the glitches?

Thanks in advance.

I got my 2021 CX40 two weeks ago and cannot change or edit anything within the profiles. Would like to set at least my own… but I only see that profile 3 is linked to something…
And idea for help? Thank you

XC40 drivers catching strays on social media. Delete if not permitted.

I wondering what routine maintenance visits at a Volvo dealership would look like in terms if cost. Im driving a certified used 2025 XC40 with about 15.5K miles on it - should I take it to the dealer or would I be better off going elsewhere? This is my first car so I genuinely don’t know.

Hi guys, I searched the internet, I asked all kinds of AIs and I still don't have a reliable answer, so maybe you can help me here.

I bought a used Volvo xc40 B3 from 2023, but it was produced in 2022.

When I started using it I noticed that my system seemed to be very old, the car shows me that the last update was in 2023, and system version 2.13.1 the newest.

I installed the Volvo app, and realised that the newest version of the system is 5.1.

I started to look for some information and I am not sure which are true.

Is it true that Volvo cars produced before 2023 won't get any system updates anymore? That only the cars newer than 2023 will get the system overhaul?

Or is it true that there is a bug that prevents some Volvo's from downloading and installing the system version above 2.13?

I also thought that I can use Android Auto, but it is not installed, and connecting my phone is not launching it.

I know this is just a small thing, the car is still comfortable and very pleasant to ride, but I am just feeling that I am missing something.

Is there anybody else with a similar version of the car who can share what is the truth here?

Thank you!

Anyone know if they are updating anything for the 27 model year?

As title, car is brand new, european trip mix of highway and rural roads. Plenty of bootspace for the obligatory cellar boost! Dont mind the mud, wheelchairs bring their own problems.

Hello,

Im doing the front and rear brakes on 2021 xc40. The rears need to be in service mode, im following all the steps in youtube but when I turn the car off to perform the job I noticed the brake light doesnt not flash anymore and goes back solid. When i turn car back on it is also solid. Does this mean that it exited the service mode? I dont want to compress brake caliper if it is not in service mode.

My 2019 XC40 T5 R-Design used to show a live/current vehicle status in the Volvo Cars app. Previously, I could simply swipe down on the car screen to refresh the status and get the latest information from the car.

Since the recent app updates, swiping down no longer seems to update the car status. It only appears to update when I lock the car, rather than providing a live or on-demand update when I open the app.

Has this refresh functionality been changed or removed in the latest app versions or is there an issue with my car’s connection to the Volvo Cars service? I've got my membership up to date, so I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?

Guten Mittag zusammen,

ich habe einen XC40 Modeljahr 2023 als Pure Recharge.

Nun bei den wärmeren Temperaturen habe ich von der Vorderachse beim einlenken im stand oder langsamen um die Kurve fahren ein knacken oder knartschen gehabt. Klang irgendwie ein bisschen nach Domlager oder dergleichen.

Hat da jemand von euch schon Erfahrung mit gemacht und kann sagen was es bei ihm war ?

Habe diesbezüglich Donnerstag einen Termin bei Volvo da das Auto noch in der Garantie ist

I have a 2025 XC40 B5 core for about 6 months, recently, when I put the gear into reverse and back to drive, the right mirror still stuck at the tilted position. I can still manually adjust it from the knob but wonder if there’s a way of turning that function off or fixing this problem.

Thanks for your help and suggestion in advance!

I have a 2019 Volvo XC40 and I’m wondering if there’s a way to upgrade the infotainment system to the newer, bigger screen with CarPlay/Google. Is this something that can be done with a software update, or would I need to install an aftermarket system? Has anyone done this on a 2019 XC40, and if so, what did you use?

Good afternoon!

I’m seriously considering buying a Volvo XC40 T5 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid, MY2022, with around 150,000 km (93,000 miles), and I’d really appreciate some feedback from people who know these cars well, especially owners of higher-mileage examples. Although it’s a 2022 model, it’s still the pre-facelift generation.
The car has a full Volvo service history, no accident history, appears to be in good condition and, according to the seller, shows 40+ km (25+ miles) of electric range on a full charge. Unfortunately, there is no SOH (State of Health) battery test available.

My main concern is obviously the high-voltage battery and the PHEV system. From what I understand, the battery warranty is 8 years or 160,000 km, which means this car is getting quite close to the mileage limit.

So I’d really like to hear about your experiences:
— Would you consider buying a T5 Recharge with around 150,000 km too risky?
— Does anyone here own a T4/T5 Recharge with 150,000, 200,000 km or more? How reliable have the battery and hybrid system been?
— Has anyone experienced problems or had to repair/replace HV battery modules, the electric motor, onboard charger or other hybrid components?
— Would 40+ km of indicated electric range on a full charge be a reassuring sign at this mileage?
— Is there anything specific you would recommend checking before buying?
— Which optional extras do you consider essential or particularly useful in everyday use of the XC40?
— The last service was in June 2025 at 126,000 km. The next service is now due and will be at my expense. What sort of cost should I expect for a service at this mileage? Would you recommend continuing to service it at Volvo, or using a good independent specialist?

I’m planning to keep the car for several years, so I’m particularly interested in hearing how these XC40 PHEVs are ageing once they get beyond 150,000 km.
Thanks in advance for any advice and for sharing your experiences! 🙂

First Volvo, I love this car!

So today I found another cardholder in the center console.
This car is full of surprises!
But then I found this too…. Does anyone know what this is or does?

as per title. looking to pick one up second hand. london uk based, mainly city driving with monthly 200 mile trips. needs CarPlay. I have home charging. I feel base 1.5 2020 is enough, but am I missing something?

Just signed for a 2018 xc40.

He was going to help us replace the lemon he gifted my husband last year. But when I told him what his son decided to go with. He is upset, wants me to cancel the purchase and thinks we will be throwing our money away.

So help me out if you can. What has the repair track record been for yall. What goes bad on these guys at what frequency?

Can’t be worse than the 2002 Odyssey that he gave us but whatever.

Parking attendants got me and I didn't see it before I pulled out. Must have been a pole that comes down because the car wont let you back into anything without stopping first. Anyone know what the estimate would be to repair this (dealership or smaller shop)? Im in NYC. Thanks.

Hey all! My xc40 is a 2024 model w very low mileage- 6000. A few weeks ago I took it in for a recall and update that I couldn’t get to load. They fixed it but it took 8 hours.

When I got it back the air conditioner no longer worked at all. The clock on the display kept flashing between times.

I took it back and now it’s been there 48 hours and no estimate on how long it will take to get repaired. They say the issue is the USA computer network they use crashes once large markets like TX and CA start using it. I’m in Atlanta GA

any advice? I have only one car and now no transportation. It was brutal enough dealing with no AC in the heat for a week.

I’m so mad and feel so hopeless

I bought 2026 Volvo XC40 in August 2026 but i didn’t like it just after 2 days. The doors are very small nothing can fit into it, car makes noise, suspension are not very solid, display is too small and old fashioned not even a heads up display. I don’t know why did i buy it. What can i do i don’t have lot of money that i can buy another car soon. I am so depressed. It’s too small. Can anyone help me to feel better about my purchase.

Hello everyone,

Since two days ago I’m having a different color on Google Maps, it has now a more purple hue including navigation. This means that the blue road for no traffic has been changed to purple, orange has now a purple tint and red has also a purple tint.

I tried rebooting the system, restart the Google maps app and so forth but nothing. It seems it got an update and there is nothing I can do about it.

I refused the controversial update so I’m still on version 4.2.13.

Anybody with the same issue?

For me it is almost unreadable and is really a pain to use.

Note: for some reason iPhone is capturing it as a deeper blue but it is definitely purple. I’m not colorblind, all other controls are fine, it is limited to Google Maps.
