Been driving the 2023 twin motor model for over 6 months. It's once of the best cars I've ever driven. I really can't fault anything. I went into it consciously knowing about the range, but I hasn't bothered me even on long drives and australia's very average public charging infrastructure. In regular driving I've got 370-380 on 90% charge and around 350-360 on 100% on highway. It looks great and drives like a dream.

I really appreciate your low key information filled video. I really respect your insights and opinions. I test drove the Volvo and was very impressed. Volvo has always had a reputation for quality and feels very solid. I like that they kept CarPlay and Android and Google. As you pointed out the Play Store has many apps including Apple and Amazon music. These these features that make the owner feel at home and cannot be underestimated when making a big investment. I’m going to keep test driving and comparing as the 2024 new year rolls out. I have a Chevy Bolt and love it but we would like something a little bigger. Volvo is in the running. Many thanks for doing a great job!

Love my used 2023 C40 Recharge Twin at 50% off new! Not the best EV, but an excellent car and perfect for my needs. Haven't had so much fun since my 68 Mustang 289. Good review. Given all the cameras, I was surprised that it doesn't have a dash cam: I installed a FitCamX that looks original. Wish there was a digital review mirror since rear visibility is lacking in the "sportback."

Wish EVs would put the charge ports on the front. Chargers are not setup like petrol pumps where you drive alongside them (yet), so front ports make much more sense. Also, EVs should have a frunk for the cables. Longer term... roll on inductive charging.

But, the placements of the charge port on the xc40 is the best suitable for the worlds biggest charging network, Tesla supercharging.

It's also worth mentioning that over 60% of collisions are head on and this could severely impact access and operation of the charge port. Granted this is only a statistic but certainly worth considering. I much prefer at the side personally speaking.

On-road inductive charging is a cool concept but it is never going to be available in any meaningful capacity. Building it would require a significant investment per kilometer, and you need it for really long lengths to make any difference. They don't even have enough money to keep the asphalt in a good shape.

inductive charging makes sense in car parking spaces to avoid the need for cable connections. There are a few interesting test sites around already. For example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3aUmJSEhJ6hoJIsi=Eze9jpxI_kXjk8Z2 @@iLoveTheseRemoras

I have the Singel motor version for over a year now. and i'm very pleased the way the car is driving. I really had my doubts for the single engine (frontwheel drive) but that's no issue. The real "issue" with the car is the range on the highway. no way I can make 300 km's on a charge. (with 110 km/h) overall, I like the car, the seats, the infotaiment system, all the options. I miss my BMW X2 2.0 Diesel however. :-)

Thanks for the always nice review. Always been a fan of Swedish cars and the way how they „think“ and build cars with the focus on sustainability. Regarding drive modes: I think this is an overrated feature anyway for most cars, unless you’re driving a very sporty car and take it to tracks often or if you are very tech-savvy. My wife drives a similar sized SUV from Audi (still ICE, though) with five drive modes and she couldn‘t care less, as she always says. 😂
@ItsOnlyElectric
@ItsOnlyElectric Жыл бұрын
Agree regarding the drive modes in general. The car should handle that automatically depending on how you drive. Eco mode is one thing that I think is needed in general though, where you by your own will turn off/limit certain functions to extend range.

It is surprising that so many Auto reviewers spent so much of their review time, commenting on performance and fun driving experience when they are not reviewing a performance vehicle. The odd person who wants higher performance, driving dynamics, would not even consider this type of vehicle. That’s why sometimes it’s more helpful to review ladies who review these kind of cars from a Daily commute point of you.

The version of this car from just under a year ago had a egregious design oversight of not having a dome light (or any other light for that matter) for the back seat unless you had the roof window spec on the car. Has that now been fixed? If not, I really hope no one buys it by mistake here in the dark Nordic winter. Also, the preceding version did not display the charging power for some incomprehensible reason, can the user see it now? A comment about the sound system would also be of interest, as both the basic and the "Harman/Kardon" spec in the preceding generation sounded bad.

I'm owner of a XC40 from 1 year (version single motor front drive FWD) it has very low efficiency 25 kWh/100 km @130 km/h. It means that in the highway you have a range of max 250 km (155 mls) with a battery of 67 kWh. With this new version (79 kWh) anyway the range is of 320 km no more! Please take care of it in your choice.

NIce review. i'm liking nearly everything about this (why is it no one has made my *absolute* perfect car yet?). Some good little extra but needed practicalities. Rear screen wiper (and wash I assume) missed on so many new cars (presumably in the interests of looks) plus heated screen wash nozzles, Ive had the nozzles on my Kia freeze because EV and no waste engine heat. Also rear view looks great. I drove a MY, very nice but letterbox rv gets some getting used to. How is the front headrest? Is it adjustable? Pity about the rear footwell hump, so only really a 4 seater. I agree with you about auto regen thats on my Kia but its so random you never know what to expect after trying it a couple times i never went near it again. I run my current car on the lowest level of regen i guess i could get used to a higher level theres not much difference on a tesla from what i recall? From reading comments here though seems like i should also check out the Smart 3?

The Tesla is a ver consistent regen experience. They've blended the mechanic brakes and regen really well. There used to be an issue at high states of charge where the car couldn't regen much but Tesla remapped the mechanical braking in software so it now works as if you had full regen.

That's a big improvement by going with RWD bias. However, the XC40 needs so much more than that to be able to compete. The infotainment system is sad. Not enough hard buttons. The regen is pretty much a joke. I can't believe you have to find it in layers on the center screen to change rather than paddle shifters. And having strictly a touchscreen is very distracting while driving. Give me a control knob or buttons on the steering wheel. I had not noticed HUD, power side mirrors, easy entry/exit seats or power steering wheel on the 2023 that I tested last year. Sorry Volvo. Not yet.

Bmw, Citroen,Saab,Opel. Mercedes. Blir nog aldrig nåt annat än Tesla för mig nu. Dem har ju allt. Och ligger fortfarande före! 💪

Det är den effekten Tesla brukar ha på sina ägare. Lustigt, men så vart det för mig. Sedan dess har jag kört Tesla i 7 år. Men nu börjar det bli riktigt spännande på marknaden!

Unfortiounantly 1-3 years to late! I had one of this when my Model Y was on paint job Worst car i ever had! Old tech! Small screen! Enormous consumption Also intresting to se that yo update charging but still have 11 kw when many other manufacturers have had 22 kw for a while now Its a really good test and presentation of the car but personally i think Volvo is in huge problems! They fall back extremly to other manufacurers is my feeling!

I see the XC40 as a good start and a test. As you say really not a class leading car, but still ok for people that transitions to EV. The real attempts ste the XC30 and XC90, the later is very late to the game. I'm hoping that the EX30 that comes beginning of next year will be good and sell well.

The Ford Kuga (same size car as this one) at least used to have reclining rear seats.

It’s ridiculous that you can’t have maps and media on the screen at the same time. Dealbreaker.

You have the map on the driver display at all times and you can easily switch between the music and the maps, etc, on the main screen with the infotainment hardware button summary.

Dont buy that sh*t car. No, you dont want to have ICE platform rebuilt for EV... Better go with SEA - EX30 or SPA2 - EX90... I drove XC40 and it was really terrible experience. Got one XC60 T5 MY19, will be buying EX30.

I love cars. My current daily is a 911. I’ve just ordered a c40 twin through my company car scheme. My mate who’s current daily is an Evo 10 has just taken delivery of an xc60. If you know, you know.
