I honestly don't like to use voice control and I don't think I'm a minority. In my personal opinion, temperature control should always have manual buttons.
I live near where these cars get built and see them driving around all the time i think they look great, this will also probably be my dads next car so great to see what you have to say about it
Yeah they're very much present in Belgium. Not only because of the factory is here but also because we have a lot of company cars and they all have to be electric nowadays.
Euh. It's not a city car. Eventually you get a car with over 400 horsepower. The 2024 model has 442hp and does 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds. Try finding a brand new car that runs on gas with that room and those performances for 62k...
Since you reviewed it, Volvo has release OTA software updates - v2.9 brought the expected mile range and Apple Maps Nav to the driver display. It was an annoying absence but the update makes it much more useable. The best thing to do is to lease to get the $7,500 credit applied to purchase... then, if you're interested in buying, you can get it at the final lease value.
Overlooked items: Rare is the EV which offers an OPENING moonroof and a rear wiper and if you want a frunk, the XC40 Recharge might be the only one with all that. And the review presumes that because this is an EV, it's got a frunk. VW ID.4, Audi Q4, Mercedes EQB have no frunk, so don't assume that all EVs have them. It's exciting that the XC40 is getting much longer range and RWD as an option, for 2024. Bummer how layered the controls are though. Bring back knobs and buttons!
I own an XC40. It’s a piece of $#it. The only thing “luxury” about this car is the price. You can get a much better car by spending the same amount of money (or even less, actually) on a Mercedes Benz. Which I also used to own. Big downgrade to Volvo XC40
I wish Volvo had made a non-halo version of the Polestar 1. Put the S60's powertrain in it and it would have been great to sell at a normal retail price and production. Such a good-looking car, though it also kind of looks like a Dodge Charger coupe.
I would totally pick one of these up. I really like the size of them.
From 4:35-5:18 you talked about "a very big downside". Why? Just use the Voice command to change fan or temperature. It’s so easy and quickly done.

@@JerreMuesli just say hey google change temperature to 68. Its so simple youre being difficult just to be difficult lmfao

Looks great. Can't justify 62k for a city car, though.
But it's a Volvo! ❤😂
‘City car’ 😂
You can buy one that’s a year old for about 35 to 45k if you look around and don’t mind driving a bit to get to the car

Volvo always has the best seats. A family member had a S70 T5 back in the day and the front seats were so comfy.
Best outro ever in the series, Zack 😂👏
at 2:17 to be fair the two other Volvo's are rocking Illinois FP plates, so those are fleet plates (likely rentals), not personal vehicles.

Beautiful car, only thing I don’t like is the “grill”
I mean I wish at least a fan speed and temperature were physical with my volvo. Also this has a more matte paint under the hood like my v60.
Is this the updated version, with new engines, batteries and range? Doesn't look like, considering the range
“Hey Google, change temp to 70 degrees.”
Also the latest OTA update provides range in the cluster.
Good to know about the OTA!
Although I personally think requiring voice commands for anything besides dictating a text message is very dumb
Who said they are required? The temp change is very easy from the screen @@ShootingCars
Have one, and im loving it ❤️❤️❤️
Can it tow?
Don't get your annoyance on the climat control .... you can use your voice commands since it's google based .. right :-) Don't see the issue ..
What was wrong with just regular buttons? I don’t want a voice operated vacuum cleaner either, a simple switch has worked for centuries
great review!
Good review. Thanks
I love the idea of wool seats, but I’m allergic to wool. 😢
It's nice but expensive.
And 10 months later these can be bought used with less than 7K miles from Hertz for $33K.

@@bldontmatter5319 biased how? I own an XC40. And it’s a piece of shit.
Be more specific which Mercedes for a similar price?
Can you elaborate what's wrong with it please?
I've been driving it, and I love it....
Only negative thing with this car is the springy, hard suspension imo
It weighs 7000+ lbs it needs to be hard
Springy and hard can’t be together in the same sentence.
What's the thing we the filthy car interior? Yuk!
At this point I may as well get the damn Polestar 1 lol

It’s not a city car. And you can tell Google to change the temperature, and more. Your review it’s ok not a great one
