Is the Volvo XC40 a Reliable Car?

  
The first word that comes to mind for car buyers when Volvo is mentioned is safety. After all, Volvo invented the modern three-point seat belt in 1959, then patented the design and made it publicly available to other car manufacturers so everyone's customers would be safer. After safety, though, car buyers name reliability as one of the other key reasons to buy a Volvo. Volvo buyers rate their vehicle above average, not only in reliability, but also repair costs and severity of repairs. Of course, when you're buying a car, you don't just want to know if a brand is known for reliability, but also the particular model that you're buying. When it comes to the Volvo XC40, the answer is a resounding yes on both counts.
 
 
A new standard of reliability
The greatest indicator that the XC40 is a reliable car is how it was built. Like all Volvos, it was built for longevity. Volvo prioritizes using strong, well-built materials in all of their car components. This creates vehicles that are less susceptible to wear and tear over time. Of course, some parts don't last forever and when they do need to be replaced, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts should be used to ensure that your vehicle will continue to perform as intended.

More evidence of the XC40's reliability is, appropriately enough, Volvo's focus on safety. Features like reinforced structure and well-protected critical components contribute to a car's overall longevity. Plus, vehicles that break down while you're driving them are the antithesis of the safety to which Volvo, as a company, has dedicated itself. 

In addition to the overall Volvo safety rating, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives the XC40 an overall 5-star safety rating, which is the highest possible score. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) concurs, awarding the XC40 its highest designation of "Top Safety Pick+."

Finally, there is an emphasis on testing in the Volvo design process. Volvo vehicles go through rigorous testing procedures to make sure they can withstand extreme conditions and high mileage.

 
 
The Importance of Maintenance
As with any car, the driver plays a key role in increasing the durability of their car. All automobiles require regular maintenance and servicing. Following the recommended maintenance schedule on the XC40, maintenance that can be performed at your local Volvo in Glendale, will help extend its reliability.

Drivers love it
Perhaps the best indication that the Volvo XC40 is reliable is the fact that you don't see too many used Volvo XC40's for sale. Drivers tend to hold onto theirs because they know it will take them a long way down the road.
