I am trying to find some time and go test drive it. I'm very curious. I'd prefer to drive a donkey than one of those urban SAVs, but still, I want to try out the hype.

The XC40 is receiving glowing reviews because it’s comfortable and easy to drive. It’s a very simple achievement but a target missed by rivals that are too focused on making sporty crossovers with big alloys, that inevitably results in a jittery or uncomfortable ride.

It’s also a crazy expensive car in Norway, which is probably why you hardly see any, a T4 with a few options can cost 650,000 nok, go crazy and you’ll easily blow through 700,000, for that money I’d buy a well specced V60 D4 AWD.

Small premium SUVs are premium priced. A decent Evoque, X2 and E-Pace are near the price of a GLC/Q5/X3. Currently there are no discounts on the XC40, the XC60 is almost cheaper if bought through a promotion.

An X2 is cheaper than the XC40, so is the old Q3.
