This is a model I seriously considering buying. Thank you for the review.

[@Kaws_One]

Taking delivery on a 2023 Fjord Blue Ultimate in the next 14 days. This video has me so stoked this morning. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year.

[@703Speed]

Nice! I really like Fjord blue.. Looks so good in person. Glad this vid got you hyped for your new car. Happy New Year!

[@sonnythorelli5402]

I have one, and love it. Thew most fun car I’ve driven. 408 Hp there is not a question who’s owns the road. You just just jump the car into the slot in the outer line when you need to take over.

[@mightymizzar9672]

Please I passed one of u in my c3 Picasso because your limited to 100mph lol

[@darrengrada6221]

I’ve seen a lot reviews of this model in the last few weeks and this is by far the punchiest, most informative one so far. An excellent intro to the EV 👌🏼

[@703Speed]

Thank you for watching!

[@marvinhenderson6379]

Very, very, very informative video. You answered so many questions. Thank you for explaining one peadle driving. Great video !!!

[@703Speed]

Glad to help!

[@ChrisExploresTheWorld]

You are so thorough! Thank you…and keep Pushin P 🅿️😂

[@703Speed]

Hahah, you caught onto that

[@Cruelaid]

9:13.. video taping.. Bro you’re an old soul. 😂 Great review 🙌

[@703Speed]

Haha. Thank you!

[@ccshen5462]

Nice review!

[@703Speed]

Thank you!

[@srspower]

7:10 you should clarify that by saying that is the real world range. Claimed is 260+ miles which is theoretically possible.

[@eos2143]

Thx a lot for instructions - going to buy one !

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

This is my only Volvo SUV I can buy it bro.

[@prisol]

nice video, are you able to watch youttub and youttube music on the centre console?

[@703Speed]

Thank you.. I have heard that that is coming, I'm not sure if you are able to do it yet.. Maybe someone who knows more about this can chime in..

[@colinmunro9531]

A good review but if you could slow down a bit and pause between sentences, you would be much easier to listen to!

[@703Speed]

Haha thank you. The thing about the internet is if I talk too slow I get people saying speed it up, if I talk too fast I get people saying slow down. Lol. I can't win

[@jaysantoyo6215]

@@703Speedit was a good pace, solid review

[@anglosaxonmike8325]

My mate has one, it's done 900 miles, and a truck turned up this morning to take it away. Brake problem, and the sceen brightness can't be dimmed.

[@marvinhenderson6379]

Could you please explain the brake problem, thank you

[@carseye1219]

I would've liked to see what driving with the navigation on looked like.

[@703Speed]

I will keep that in mind for future Volvo videos

[@Ubique71]

Hi from England. I Really enjoyed your review. I’m just looking at getting a new EV and at the moment it’s between this Volvo (same spec) and the updated Tesla model 3 long range. Hmmmm.

[@703Speed]

Where Tesla really outshines any other ev is their charging infrastructure.. That would be a big selling point for me

[@michaelgrow8630]

Can you carry a portable charger to quick charge if necessary? Driving at night make any difference to mileage?

[@Gr8dane85]

It's colder at night, so it should decrease range, but it of course depends on temperatures, if the road is wet, wind etc. Ideal operating temperature for a car battery is around 26.7 degrees Celsius or 80 degrees Fahrenheit, anything lower will gradually decrease range.

[@703Speed]

In addition to the cold, you are also using the heads lights and taillights, which could also have an impact (even if it’s a slight one) on the range as well. As for the portable charger, I’m not sure. Maybe an owner would be able to give you the answer to that

[@bhmth]

The xc40 comes with charging cables that will allow you to plug into a standard 120v (normal plug) or 240v (in the US, it's basically a dryer plug) outlet. Quick charge requires a whole DC charging infrastructure that you can't just hook up to a normal outlet. There are "portable" (think heavy carry on suitcase) backup battery things you can get but they're really just for a few emergency miles.
