2024 Volvo C40 Recharge Full Tour & Review

Volvo's C40 is a coupé version of the XC40, a vehicle we're very familiar with. We hit the winter roads with this 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge Ultimate Twin Motor.

In this episode of TestDrive Spotlight we go over the technical specifications and features found on the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge. Our vehicle is the Ultimate trim, coming fully loaded for the Canadian market. We also have the Twin Motor setup, with 402 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque, with a 0-100 kmh of around 4.8 seconds. We hit the wintery streets of St. Thomas, Ontario to check out this subcompact luxury SUV EV.

TestDrive is proudly produced in St Thomas, Ontario, Canada.

Love my used 2023 C40 Twin at $28K. Your comments are spot on. I'd add that everything works well together despite not being best-in-class on factors. Well-sorted, comfortable, sporty, and excellent safety & build quality.

You can put the car into the equivalent of “accessories” mode in ICE cars by pressing the menu button under the infotainment screen. Climate control and everything else inside will stay on until one of the front passenger leaves. Volvo refer to this as passive mode.

I know if you're stepping out of the car but you want the heat and everything to run for a bit longer hit the play button it turns on the infotainment and the car

Most journalists don't seem to like this no start-stop button thing, but as a user (or me personally), I love it so much. Getting in, putting in gear and off you go is so easy for me. Also with one pedal mode I even let it roll to stop, get off without bothering putting it in N or P, lock the car and walk away.

OMG, sorry to say, but that infotainment design is hideous.
