This week saw almost all the customer-facing staff here at the Autobarn Volvo Cars Oak Park take a concentrated class to help get to know the new for 2019 Volvo XC40. It was a great course, and we learned about some of the unique advantages the XC40 has over the competition- but that wasn’t the fun part. The fun part was squeezing 6 feet and 9 inches’ worth of Liam B. into the back of an XC40 to see if he’d fit!

As you can see, he definitely fits- if only just. That’s a huge win for a compact crossover like the Volvo XC40, since you simply can’t put big people in most of the other compact luxury crossovers out there.

I’ll post a few more of the neat things we learned about this clever little crossover in the coming days. In the meantime, you can watch this great video from Volvo Cars highlighting some of the innovative cargo and storage space options that are built in to the design of the new XC40, below, and let us know what else you’d like to see us try to cram Liam into in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
