Volvo XC40 Recharge Owner's Review

Fully electric crossover SUV assembled in Belgium using the same frame as the other variants in the model lineup ( _ICE, PHEV_ ). Volvo XC40 Recharge is a luxury SUV EV option at a lower price point then the others from Europe ( _BMW & Mercedes_ ).

The most recent OTA software update (2.9) brings several welcome changes. The three most significant are: the estimate remaining distance is now shown in the driver display, beneath the remaining battery percentage; lane-keeping assist can now be toggled on and off with a (formerly unused) button on the steering wheel (previously that could only be done through the centre console); and Apple Maps is now available in the driver display.

Just took a road trip from SF to SD to SF. My XC40 Recharge was great.

Great video! No music no nonsense! You have the Lyriq and the Volvo which tells me that you can buy whatever the heck you want. You demonstrated CarPlay and pointed out conveniences that I take for granted but also dread losing if GM drops CarPlay. We have a Bolt EUV Premiere and we Love it! It has all the bells and whistles and drives so nicely that when I get back in after testing the Lyriq and the Volvo, the Bolt still feels very good. The only thing I’m looking for is something a little bigger and the Volvo is perfect. You mentioned the safety reputation of the Volvo and this has always been my impression. I’m going to hold on to our CRV Hybrid for several months to see how the 2024 EV’s roll out and test drive as many as I can. You’re video based on ownership is very very helpful. Thanks again for taking the time to do a great job in your video and best of luck to you in the New Year!

That rear auto brake scared the heck out of me when I put a bike rack in the tow hitch receiver. The brakes bit so hard I thought I had hit a brick wall when backing up. I learned pretty quickly hot to turn that feature off when having the bike rack on

Thanks for the review. My wife an I both owned two Volvos and they are very nice cars. They we’re not electric. Your Volvo is nice. Thanks for sharing.

I've had mine in UK for 8 months. One real big positive is removing the rear load cover - turn it over and it stores neatly under the folding load floor cover. I kept banging my head on it ..and worse in the C40. So, it stays with the car and not forgotten in my garage

Great in-depth review! Can't wait for more on the Cadillac Lyriq.

+5 credibility to the Linux guy! I just bought a brand new XC40 Recharge in Portugal and can´t wait to drive it. As an American citizen newly emigrated to Portugal, I was quite surprised to find this delay for "paperwork" before I get to take possession of the car. I appreciate your detailed comments on this car!

thank you so much for this review. I wonder about the driver’s seat position and head rest. I am close to purchasing an XC 40 2024, but I am concerned about the forward headrest. Thoughts?

Thanks for the review. I have the ICE version and enjoy it very much. Thinking of going EV but my wife doesn't like the back up camera on the XC40, which I must agree is a little harder to view than our MDX. But appreciate your owner insight on it. Would love to hear you compare it with other vehicles you've tried/owned.

Good Review. Very nice car with good features, just priced a bit high than the competition.

Thanks for the detailed review I really appreciate hearing the experience of an actual owner. What made you choose this over the Ioniq 5? It’s similar enough that I’m guessing you considered it.

Thx for the video, i drive a xc40 recharge and do everything with voicecontrol, also the ventilator😉

Beware the steering column vibration above 70 MPH.- I have it and MANY have it.
