2020 CX40 question
Hello
I am new to Volvo and I have a question about a 2020 CX40 I brought my daughter. I noticed when you push the accelerator, there is a lag before it moves, forward or reverse. Seems like the break is holding for a short moment. I drove a 2024 and it is not there. Is something build in back then as a safety measure, or could be be something else. Thank you |

I'm hopefully picking up a used XC40 (2018) D4 R on Thursday. As part of the research, I've read reviews that say there is indeed a lag in response (very slight but obvious), some thought that it could be the brake holding the car back. Others that it might be just a lack of throttle response. It was suggested that the polestar optimisation changes the behaviour............
Not much help, I'm afraid. This section is currently like a ghost town but someone with more experience could come along at any time ☺️. I can say that my S60 benefitted greatly from the upgrade in terms of throttle response and gear changes. I'm going to give the XC40 a week or two and maybe get it done before the offer expires! Hope you can find an answer. |

Auto handbrake is on probably. Disable this (in the center console, next to the handbrake switch..) and re-test.
Oh, and it's XC40

So. Long story, short. Finally picked up the (new to me) XC40 on Saturday morning. The poor dealers have been having a meltdown due to ulez and new registration year.
Loving the car! Don't like the new gear change double tap system. I'll get used to it 😊. The tech leap from my S60 to this is bewildering! Not really helped by the tech guy apparently not having a clue about the cars, but good with explaining stuff. Apparently I don't have the cooled glove box....yes I do! I don't have the SIM/modem setup, yes I do! I'll work it all out in the end. The journey is just beginning. And I don't like stop start! 🤪 |

The 2024 model will have the twin clutch ‘DSG’ type gearbox where as the 2020 will have the geartronic torque-converter ‘box; the latter does have a more notable step-off.
