Single-Motor Volvo XC40 Recharge review - the sensible luxury EV? |

Could the single-motor Volvo XC40 Recharge be the best deal in the luxury EV space? We try to see if that’s true in this video, where we take you through how it drives, the features you get and don’t get and also see if it feels any different on the inside. We end by telling if this really is the right version of the XC40 Recharge to pick.
At Rs 54.95 lakh, the single-motor Volvo XC40 Recharge is priced at Rs 2.95 lakh less than the top dual-motor. You get a 69 kWh battery pack with 475 km of WLTP range. The rear-mounted motor makes 238PS and 420 Nm and the EV gets from 0 to 100 kmph in 7.3s.
Notable features include an 8-speaker sound system, two-zone climate control, 12.3-inch digital driver's display, 9-inch touchscreen infotainment, ADAS, 19-inch alloy wheels and panoramic sunroof. You miss out on pixel LED headlamps, fog lamps, 360-degree cameras and a Harman Kardon sound system

That's not slightly pushed forward, it's quite literally unusable sitting space.
Surprisingly, this is NOT how the US/EU XC40 Recharge is.
Taking the Indian crowd for granted, are we Volvo?

Background music is horribly loud... Even after so many compliments no improvement.
