The good news for this car if you don't like one-pedal drive is that regenerative braking works regardless of the mode. Using the regular brake pedal works the same, and will blend in the friction brakes when extra stopping power is needed.

The chasis was built for different drive trains in mind hence they could use the same body for fwd/awd in ev, hybrid, gas. This is also likely an attempt to save money.

The tunnel does add rigidity to the over all chassis.

I'm one of those crazy outliers apparently. Loved the car when I test-drove it, but didn't find the seats comfortable. Everyone's body ergonomics are different I guess, but that really surprised me, as everyone seems to universally love Volvo seats.

We used to have the gas version of this car and we really liked it. The only thing we didn't like was the lack of power, and the electric version fixes all of it. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Great review! The one thing I will differ on is the screen. @ Volvo if you see this please DO NOT change that screen on the xc40. I hate the tablet look in newer models. I chose the xc40 for this reason.

Did you guys get an invite to the “first drive event” for the pilestar 3 at the end of may in Toronto?

I have my xc40 for about 2 weeks and there's something I can't figure out. With apple carplay i would get calendar entries as suggested destnations in the maps app. I've been trying to get a similar flow with google calendar and maps in Android automotive but it just doesn't seem possible. Anyone experience with this?

11:45 You should step back after kicking underneath the car for the trunk to open. It's not that finicky. 😂
