Don't Buy a Tesla... Buy This - Volvo XC40 Recharge EV Review

Volvo's latest XC40 Recharge Electric vehicle has a new trick up its sleeve - Android Automotive, a full infotainment system from Google. Rather than designing the best way for your smartphone to integrate into the media system, Android Automotive can do practically everything without even needing to think about a phone - there's even a Play Store to download apps!

Man LTT car reviews are always such an eye candy. Like I'm not even into cars but I get excited everytime I see it in my notifications

[jmanEOS]

Two people with two different viewpoints is a great formula. As a tech channel, I like that you focus on that more than some other car review channels. For EV reviews, charging is a big factor when it comes to purchasing. I'd like to see more on how that works for each car and if there are phone apps associated with the cars and how those integrate into the whole system. Keep 'em coming!

Okay my jaw was on the floor when I saw Jake's V10 E60. LTT is full of car enthusiasts and that makes me so damn happy. Excellent review!!

[TheStraightPipes]

Jake's Eisenmann race exhaust stole the show

[spctr]

Can I just say, as a car guy who is into tech, LTT is doing car reviews right, and I am here for it! Informative, and entertaining to watch. It feels like they took some ques from the golden era of the Clarckson, Hammond, and May hosted Top Gear, and i cant wait to see where it goes from here. Alex and Jake have really good on screen chemistry.

[phenomanII]

Alex and Jake are the perfect duo for car reviews. I could easily imagine that "so you hate it?" -"not exactly" moment on an episode of Top Gear, back when it was JC, JM and RH.
With LMG's overall quality when it comes to video production, these are some of the best car reviews on Youtube, easily on the level of channels dedicated to those, if not above.

[tlfbshti]

Jake and Alex absolutely killed this one, love these LTT car reviews! Keep em coming!!!

[knape]

I love the two separate viewpoints, both of you should contribute to every car review! Also, missed opportunity to drag race the Volvo and the BMW, it would add that little extra entertainment factor and is a widely subjective and useless metric by which to compare that we all want to see regardless!!

[jojoo]

I've been an LTT fan for god knows how long, but I can for sure say that the quality and production of the new reviews are insane. also I love the way you portrait jake and alex as a contrast referring to pros and cons (like with linus and anthony in some reviews) and it really makes alot more entertaining and easier to follow even for a guy that's not interested that much in the car.

[MarkBerberoglu]

Jake pulling up in the V10 BEAST of an M5. I like his taste.

[Conceptcreator]

I mean you get a car that looks good, and proper build material! Without a doubt this comes FAR above Tesla on my list
also great review!

[ChevySpeedAddict]

I love seeing Jake get to flex his automotive chops. A true car enthusiast.

[cglan_]

We NEED more LTT car reviews, this was sick. I love to see electric cars get legit reviews, so many people think you need a Tesla to drive electric and that’s just not the case.

[phantomgaming]

I love these top gear style road tests! I’ve watched top gear for years and this was so on point! The camera angles is what reminded me of top gear so much! When Jake came driving by! It’s great!

[XanderEwald]

Seriously considering selling my graphics card and buying a Volvo instead.

[ganzoVEVO]

Not into cars, but I always adore these car reviews. There's clearly so much effort put into making them informative and fun to watch even if you don't know a ton about cars, and they're just shot so well

I had to double take when I saw the shot of Jake pulling up beside Alex in the BMW, it was just a really well shot, cool way to transition to an alternate viewpoint.

[KrelletheMaster]

Hands down, the best car review they have made so far. Alex and Jake give their own different takes and views on the car, is amazing imo. Awesome job on this one lads.

[foxrumor]

I really appreciated having 2 reviewers with very different perspectives. Alex gave us the "Everyday Joe's" perspective while Jake was able to give us an enthusiast's perspective. Not everyone needs to care about the the things an enthusiast cares about, but if you do care, you definitely want to know.

[frantiseksram]

Knowing how influenced the car reviews out there are, I'm so happy to have a channel I honestly trust doing these. No BS and to the point talk. Thanks

[NickOfTime]

What amazes me is LTT is primarily a tech media outlet. Yet their vehicle reviews are better than MOST other vehicle review outlets. Even better than media produced by Motortrend. It's right up there with Savagegeese. Well done! Keep the car reviews coming!
