What is my favorite car? Volvo C40 - XC40 or Polestar 2

[@ralfferfi2860]

The best review about these cars! I drove them also and decided for the C40. I see it exactly how you described it. ❤

[@lordvoldemort2564]

Why c40 over xc40? Does it drive better.

[@ralfferfi2860]

@@lordvoldemort2564 no, they drove exactly the same. I like the Coupé design more. And for my use case there is no disadvantage.

[@lordvoldemort2564]

@Ralf Ferfi I found xc40 had a body roll. My spouse will kill me if she read this. She wanted xc40 for sunroof and I said c40 rides better. 😆 🤣 😂

Excellent idea for a larger serie to help choosing EVs from a manufacturer. Way to go Chris !

[@tobiasbundschu632]

One of the best comparisons I’ve seen since month! You‘ve pointed out very detailed many interesting and important things which other tests would never have mentioned! You really brought it to the point! I really liked it. Thx a lot! Go on!!!

[@BatteryLife]

Thanks

The Volvo's are significantly more expensive than Polestar 2 in my country (Norway). I chose Polestar 2 because of this and because of design.

[@MrGeekGamer]

Jeg har bestilt en Polestar 2 også :D Personally, I liked the sound of the indicators.

[@silentjohn80]

@@MrGeekGamer Yes, I agree, the blinking indicator sounds are very nice in my opinion. And not to loud as in many other cars. Other audio warnings also sounds very nice in my ears.

[@scottysvensson]

Isn't C40 care by Volvo only (8k nok) in Norge 🤔

[@pyramusk3264]

@@MrGeekGamer Er du stadig glad for den? Jeg overvejer den nemlig også.

[@MrGeekGamer]

@@pyramusk3264 Veldig. Bare angre jeg kjøpt LRSM og ikke LRDM.

The more I see about this, the more I like about Volvo's approach to this. One pedal on/off. Steering firm/normal. Pre-condition cabin: 22*c/72*f. Drive mode=she go when you press skinny pedal. I currently have an Acura RDX ASPEC Advance with a bunch of drive modes that modify engine controls, steering ,suspension firmness, steering ratio, AWD /torque vectoring performance, all of it, and frankly, I find it annoying. Many cars have t he ability to modify these things SEPARATELY, even. A nightmare. I really appreciate Volvo's approach to simple effectiveness.

[@rpkruizinga9599]

I want the polestar but my wife the Xc40 recharge because of the space and seating position. Both great cars.

[@stephanclements6908]

Polestar 2 has superior styling v outdated Volvos and the Google Range estimator is amazingly accurate (12,000 mile driving experience) & very useful so please don’t be put off by his range indicator comment.

[@BatteryLife]

They all have the same Google range estimation. Range is displayed not accurate. Just every 10km steps.

[@michalklucz6907]

searching for a potential enyaq replacement... considering all three above... but Enyaq is such practical car (with some flaws obviously)

[@scepticalcarols]

Excellent compressed side by side comparison, very good.

[@scronkfinkle1408]

Good choice! Not the most popular maybe, but the right one! :D

[@badtoro7037]

Getting my C40 in beginning of September. Took my V40 for maintenance and they gave me C40 for test drive and that was it lol! Ofc the one with dual motor... I can confirm that that 300kW is just fricking awesome! 😅 I tested polestar 2 too and something was off with it... The blinker sound, the small cap infront of roof window was collecting moist in Finnish winter so there was ice, some other things that I can't quite put my finger on... I mean polestar 2 is awesome car , but just not quite for me... I liked C40 more... Only downside of C40 is the view from back window but that is something I can easily cope with side mirrors

[@wainerollins2587]

I don't get the point of the Polestar stand-alone brand if Volvo is going to be a pure electric brand. It's not even as if the Polestars are quicker; the C40 is as fast as any Polestar branded pure electric car and one of the fastest accelerating Volvos I can remember.

[@wolfgangkern6333]

The reason why you need all keys to pair your phone in the Polestar 2 is simple: You can activate the digital key function. Which works amazingly for months now.

[@BatteryLife]

Volvo has that too

[@doogiemcdougster6740]

Thanks!

[@colberki]

Since v2.9, C40 range is shown in the driver's display

[@greenfrog58]

Great video!

[@lordvoldemort2564]

Does c40 drive better than xc40. I found xc40 suspension to be soft. That means more body roll, but nice ride at slower speeds. C40 was more hard. What are your views

[@BatteryLife]

Same

[@lordvoldemort2564]

@Battery Life you mean c40 was batter in driving dynamics or they drive the same? Thanks for an excellent review

[@tomquimby8669]

creative, next you can compare on a moonscape

[@villasikten]

Volvos are supposed to have the light set in “Auto”. The tail lights are always on no matter what type of weather so you won’t have to be insecure about that.

[@BatteryLife]

Yes, but when it is foggy in the day in setting Auto the low beams don't come on. I would like that and want to be sure.

[@scottysvensson]

Polestar 2 because top speed 205 km/h & more power 😀

[@brucekookli5507]

So for those of us who do not like suv's how about s60 is it a good car to buy?

[@BatteryLife]

But not an EV

[@brucekookli5507]

@@BatteryLife EV cars are still overpriced.Best option for me is diesel

[@chrisk1084]

@@brucekookli5507 Polestar 2 is cheaper to own, and drive, here in Sweden. A little more expensive in Purchasing, but it pays off quickly. If you drive 25,000 km / year, you save today, £ 1750, which is the total price difference between El and Diesel, which you run out of. The tax is £ 29 / year for EV, and £ 1704, for a Diesel car / annually, the first 3 years. In addition, there are not as many mechanical parts on an electric car, and thus also both easier and cheaper to service an electric car. The battery pack, on the other hand, is the expensive piece, around £ 8100 - 9720. The environmental bonus in Sweden is today £ 5660. It is paid to the first owner after 6 months of ownership.

[@The-Salty-Bager]

Would you take any of these 3 over your ID3 ?

[@BatteryLife]

No, because of the size

[@matc1603]
