I have an XC40 recharge. I was honestly concerned because ive never had a car with so much power and was afraid of overshooting my throttle. My old car is a 2012 impreza base model so i was used to flooring it just to merge. Was happy to find out the throttle is very well calibrated and not overly sensitive. It doesnt really pick up until youre at least 70% throttle. Of course, once you are, it goes!!!

Get mine since 1 month. I was afraid of getting bored driving an electric car. That was before. Finally banana smille all the time, it would only deserve better sport seats when you push it fast.

It is very very fast, much faster than it needs to be.

Feels way different than a sports car or a motorcycle too. It’s a bit upsetting accelerating so fast with something so heavy.

I like mine a lot.

Test drove the same car yesterday, it is insane, probably too quick to be honest, it’s very excessive! It feels a lot quicker than the porche 911 turbo, I’ve decided to go for the single motor version instead.

it needs more than 4 seconds to reach 100 km/h. Not very fast.
