The absolute best car reviewer program. serious, wise, human and liberatingly free from creative clowning. Thanks!

What an interesting review. This is the first time I’ve watched this channel, and it was much more informative than the usual channels, where so many Reviewers spend so much time talking about the style of a car. I will definitely subscribe to your channel.😊

Got my Plus trim arriving 1st November, single motor version. Upgrading from a 2019 petrol Focus Active X. Appreciate your videos!

Nice review, thx. I'm still exited about this XC40 ER SM. I'm awaiting my order (ordered Jan 23)

Totally correct, I got my Volvo extended range and never gave me autonomy to more than 500 kms fully charged. Way lower than what it was listed. 1 year waiting and I should had bought a Tesla.

Hi, I have had the XC40 RWD Extended range 2024 model for a couple of days and I have the problem of strong vibrations when I accelerate hard. The seat, steering wheel and chassis vibrate. I am going to proceed to inform the service center

My Order single motor would deliver around Feb/24 in Australia 🦘🦘, Ordered since June this year, long wait but I think it would worth to wait for my new buying upgrade after 14 years 😊

Great video. At the end of your video, you recommend the single motor over the twin motor (the latter not being worth the expense). What's your view in extended range vs standard single motor? Is that worth the €3k extra?

[iantelinside]

Just curious why you mentioned that the efficiency of this Volvo is below what you expected? It seems to be better than the Seal and Ioniq 5, despite those having much lower Cd values. Conditions for the Seal range test seemed quite similar.

Hello. Thanks for your honest reviews. Today I have been looking at a lot of your test reviews, of course with a big thumbs up. Your test reviews are undoubtedly among the most honest in the industry where it seems that you always are telling us the truth about your personal opinion. I became a bit curious about your composition of roads and speedlimits in your range test. I would guess that you might have close to 50 % highway, but of course it depends on the composition of the type of roads, speedlimits and if you have any road-junctions with low speed. I'm curious because we are considering to buy a twin motor C or XC40 as working car, but the speed limits of the roads we normally are driving will give lower average speed than in your tests. In the summer I have aprox 10 working trips at 200 km with a trailer weight up to 1700 kg, and some km are at every trip in the need of 4x4 and decent ground clearance. I have followed the car market for working cars in Norway for years because I would live to drive emission free in my work. But this is the first electric car with sufficient towing capacity and range driving with a trailer, my needed 4x4, ground clearance and comfort in a resonable price range (I don't need anything extra as a car that normally should just have 2 seats). It's a little to close to the limit at the towing capacity at 1800 kg, but the speed limit with trailer is 80 km/h in Norway. The Norwegian authorities are telling us that we already have emmission free working cars for all needs, but I have to buy a person car with 5 seats, and Norway will not have the needed emission free working cars for a lot of industries when our authorities require this for all new cars from 2025. Thanks for your good reviews😊

Just got my my Single motor EX range today. Will have to try it with longer trip. I live in sweden and its gets cold, i have to see how it handles during minus 10+

[tansutekin]

Wish you would review consumption at an average speed of 120. 90km/h is neither a city traffic consumption nor a highway consumption. On the other hand its good to see comparison results.

[hunk]

Its good that Volvo is actually improving and not just releasing EVs because markets demands..

[skippy]

Very useful info! The US EPA has this model listed as a 293 mile range, so your 296 was right on. How is the torque for passing at higher speeds?

[AlexKall]

I really like the seat upholstery, like the looks of it!

[Smokeyum]

I was going to change my phev xc40 for this, but wasn’t paying for a downgrade in the seating materials, as leather used to be standard

[Midtg]

What app do you use for testing the acceleration? I have the Volvo XC40 MY24 Extended range in white/black, ultimate version - with the 19 wheels and it is a fantastic car. Just love it😍

[adamgesztelyi]

Why no Pilot Assist test? That's the biggest Achilles point of Volvos since 2016.

[christernordlander]

Hi, thank you for a good video! How come the larger 20” wheels reduce the maximum distance by 15-20 km compared to standard 19”?

I have just done a test drive of xc40 core model with 19'' alloys and felt that the noice from tyres is bit annoying. I am currently driving XC90 plus with 21'' alloys and I dont hear that much noise as xc40. Apart from that, it looks okay. Not sure how it serves me in winter time. I m in Ireland and Irish weather is almost wet half of the year.
