2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge - Living With The New Single Motor SUV

Hang out with Emily and I in the new single motor 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge! While the XC40 is the entry level Volvo SUV, it still retains all the charm, and we like it quite a bit.

I also collaborate and produce content for TheTopher & Daily Motor!

Swedes and creative storage solutions, name a more iconic duo

I'm happy Emily is keeping properly hydrated with her massive Stanley.

A zippy wacky brother of the XC60. Volvo always produces refined and resilient vehicles and the XC40 is no exception.

The amount of depreciation on these is huge. Found a used Volvo XC40 Recharge Ultimate dual motor from Hertz with 7K miles for $33K.

Thanks for solving the issue I've had for 20 years, finally topped up my blinker fluid 😂

Agree 1000% that SUVs and trucks do not need to have so much power. A 6000 pound vehicle full of people and stuff does not need to do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.

Nah dude...next time we need Emily to drive too and do a review

I read the title ***"Living With The New Single Mother SUV."*** 🤣🤣🤣I thought these Volvos became pretty popular among single mothers for a second.

Congrats with a very nice car! I have had 4 Volvos, and really like them (mainly V60s). Fun to see, that your equipment option and drive options, differ so much from what we have available in Denmark. Volvos always have this buildt-in quality feel, no matter what options you have selected, which I really like. PS: the EX30 is quite a lot smaller, and unfortunately - to me at least - doesnt really give me that usual Volvo vibe of substance.

What I love about Volvo is their depth. They have a very strong DNA and stay true to their legendary pedigree. You can feel it and it’s so special. You can hop in a Volvo 850 and then a brand new S60 and you just feel it. It’s like part of the family. Volvo is probably the best car manufacturer simply for their philosophy of building cars. A car cannot be beautiful if it’s not safe…..

Hearing Survive from Vanze was great to hear, 7 years old and still a good vibe.

Was about to say Emily must have some really tall cups! Lolol. I will say one of the niggly issues I’ve been annoyed with in my Mazda3 is the way the center console opens. Since you have to slide it back before tilting it open, it won’t open all the way with the seats down since it’ll hit the seat headrests. Minor complaint but still love mine overall

Great review! Waiting to receive my RWD EX40

[Usersfssk]

I ❤ Volvo. I hope to own one in the future 😊

[curseknight]

Hi Topher does this handle/have better steering feel than an ioniq 5?

[elnorte]

Nice Camper You Have. Moving home is very "modern". Who's driving You or Emily?😊

[Fremmy]

The XC40 isn't going away and isn't being replaced by the EX30. The XC40 Recharge is changing name to EX40.

What I hate about the wood trim is that a collect a lot of dust

[scoobtay]

I wish Volvo would stop using those Pirelli P Zero's. They are such a hockey puck of a tire. Amazing cars once you put a real tire on it (Crossclimate 2 comes to mind).

How is the sound in the single motor version?
