x1.25 speed makes this a lot more watchable. I like the presenter but he really takes his time to say anything. At 1.25 it does not even look or sound odd. Just normal human conversation/presenting speed.
Glad that you're continuing making this kind of "Don't buy a X before watching this" videos from now on 👍Very informative for the potential buyers. I wished there was a video like this for Polestar 2, but I've already spent months watching your videos and others' videos about it and decided to order one :) I'm perfectly aware of its not so great charging curve and the not so great range, but otherwise I like the car's design, build quality, driving experience and Android Automotive system. Plus, as you said, it was cheaper than an XC40 :) Really looking forward to what Volvo and Polestar will bring next to the market in the coming years
Thanks. Volvo South Africa just announced that the XC40 Recharge will be avaiable. It still costs R1.2million Rand. Petrol version is R700k rand. So almost double. But great that it is now avaiable. We still have limited number of EVs in South Africa. The more the better.
Hey Kris! Good video and good car. I ordered on January 20, 2020. I got the car on December 4, 2020. The Volvo XC40 is fantastic. The car has been on the market for two months. We are waiting for updates OTA. The car is wonderful to drive. Fast. Looks tough. The only thing is the battery that lasts between 20 and 30 miles in winter. This summer we hope for up to 40 miles. I have a mile to go to work. Am not often out on the long trips so this is good for me. But in the spring I will drive Gudbrandsdalen to Lofoten with this car. It will be a long trip.
What an Incredible video! We have an XC40 petrol here in the USA. It’s a great car and this past weekend I test drove an XC40 Recharge and Mustang Mach-E. Of course the Volvo was superior in so many ways to the Mach-E except maybe for the screen size. I found the XC40 Recharge to be so much more engaging and responsive to our petrol powered XC40. I have yet to test a Polestar 2, but that is going to happen in the next month and I am looking forward to seeing if I can adapt back to a sedan after having a small SUV (BMW X3) since 2008. Should wait thought for the Q4 or C40? Europe is always ahead of us with the new vehicles.
Hi Kris, love your videos! We just bought the XC40 Recharge single motor. We are driving Volvo now for 15 years. Actually we wanted to wait for an other 2-3 years to buy the electric version of the XC40. But your videos made us decide to buy now. Do you already know when you will test the single motor version from the XC40? Looking forward to see this video:). Keep up the good work.
Really beautiful exterior trim you have on this XC40. Goes so well with the sage green, especially without the two-tone roof. We don’t have this option in US, but all the more reason to buy in Sweden ; )
It's always gratifying to hear a well-respected reviewer wax poetic about the car one has ordered. Canadians will be interested in knowing that the "Core" XC40 Recharge qualifies for the Canadian Government's $5k rebate, with or without the ($10k) "Plus" or ($1.5K) "Climate" packs, but not with the ($13k) "Ultimate" pack. Unfortunately (and strangely, imo), Volvo Canada has included adaptive cruise control in the Ultimate pack only. A rep at my local dealer told me that most customers (myself included) are buying only the Climate Package. No word on when the FWD model will be available in Canada.
I don't like the polestar 2... Mainly because of the shape, it looks odd, like it doesn't know if it wants to be an Sedan or a Crossover, and maybe like a small SUV, and then the interior... I HIGHLY dislike the look of mostly a display center console, While volvo has that larger display it retains a lot of details that makes it look far nicer.
Very good review. Think it was very balanced highlighting strengths and weakness. IMO the best options to spec would be the heatpump and assistance systems pack.
15:30: "You cant compare the XC40 to the E-tron......." However you are doing it several time through the review, and therefore (without thinking about it) downrate the XC40 on that expense. But a nice and informative review, when disregarding the comparings :-)
I just ordered the C40…Claimed electrical consumption is 2 kWh/km. 3,5 is a bit more 🙈 Hope a SW update will help that. Hope you will give C40 a test later.
No wonder Norway is the no1 EV country. Comparing the polestar 2 pricing: Norway, starting from 469.000Nkr (460.000Skr) Sweden, starting from 659.000Skr. Even if I remove the Swedish VAT in relation to the low VAT on EV's in Norway, there's still a >80.000Skr difference.
Speaking of steering.... how crooked is the stitching on the steering wheel. I'm picking up a P6 tomorrow and I hope it's not as C-grade as that! I pay all this money and Volvo can't stitch leather in a straight line?
Rumors have it that large sw update in late january to activate heatpump ( hopfully) on battery temp. Hope it is in the NAF test that is coming january 27

A friend of mine is urging me to get the xc40 recharge, but I have decided on the BMW i4-40 M Sport instead. I have no need of an SUV and I don't like their bulbuous appearance. If I need to tow a utility trailer or haul cargo like a recumbent trike, I have an old Honda Odyssey minivan with the rear seats removed.
honestly as much as I love the XC40 I dont think they should have made it into an EV.... the design is not an EV design imo... the Polestar 2 imo is the better EV... and the XC40 is a great petrol and diesel vehicle
Tried the polestar today - none of us liked it. Not much space inside and the floor isn't even - it just felt awkward to us. I then went to Volvo and tried the xc40 - much better comfort in our opinion. They feel like two completely different vehicles.

Hey Kris... Can you test the Kia Niro EV and Kona EV as well. Considering that they cost substantially lest and give you more range I find this puzzling from Volvo with its current range. Thanks for the video
At maybe £50k+ this new Volvo will be expensive against VW’s ID4 and, more interestingly for me, Skoda’s new Enyaq. I could get an 80, UK-spec, for around £42k, and I just think that is much better value (for a higher-riding, small SUV-type of vehicle).
If I'm not mistaken, they're built on the exact same platform and is at large the same car. So I guess its more of a preference thing from a looks perspective. More or less just choosing if you want the more elegant C40 or the more rugged XC40
I know why you didn't comment on the XC40 H/K audio system, it sucks! Especially compared to the H/K for the SPA platform. The XC40 recharge is a lot of fun though! The big oof I see with the infotainment is the lack of traffic in the instrument cluster, would be so nice to have it!
Kris, when will you be able get the ID4 for a full review? The size would be comparable but perhaps not the comfort and the infotainment system. Would be nice to get your view on this car.
Hi Kris, like your reviews from years ago. Since your first XC. Anyway, If i'm looking from most comfort Car in terms of quietness, noise, vibration, etc. What's the best 1-2-3 EVs you would recommend? Model3, xc40, others? (Not looking to get fast car at all)
I really think Volvo did an excellent job with the design of this car inside and out. But on specs and charging infrastructure Model Y is very tough competition. My heart has a soft spot for this car but the choice gets harder when I look at the numbers.
As an owner of the XC40 recharge, i can tell that after updates the car gets less thirsty. When i compare the car to a Tesla, The Tesla is better in the drivetrain no doubt. However i love the volvo seats and the overall finish of the volvo is A LOT better then Tesla’s IMO. So the choice is between feel and design or drivetrain opitmalization. Goodluck choosing!
400MPG sound a little low for a Prius, a friend of mine averaged 1200MPG over 20 years and 2500k km! That's what I call impressive! You should get yours check, since it doesn't sound like it's performing like it should.
I drove one yesterday. Apparently all of Sweden shrunk to less than 5'8" in height. Cramped in the front. No head nor knee room in the back. Overall nice finish though. Price of XC40 ICE versus Recharge version is ridiculous. Unjustifiable when other manufacturers are offering competitive EVs for half the price of XC40 Recharge. Also, Volvo has not added the Recharge to its subscription service.
Hi Kris, I enjoy watching your videos and I like your soundtracks :) This is an excellent review and comparison to the competition. Also, in 3-6 months Tesla Model Y will be available in Europe with the same price as the XC40. That is range vs ride comfort and build quality. What would you go for?
@@PQV-8898 Prices depend on options too.I ordered my first Model Y in 2020 it was 550 NOK with FSD. Sold with a slight profit. I ordered my current Model Y in May 2022 with FSD, Red, Winter wheels 670 NOK. I checked XC40 prices . Volvo xc40 AWD is around 600-650 NOK in Norway. 10 NOK = 1 Euro

I am watching this again, but again 3 years later in 2024. Chris, how are the early xc40 EV’s holding up with time and buying one used?
If this was a bigger model Volvo would you switch from Etron, or would it have to have something more like on a "dedicated" ev platform?
No wonder Norway is the no1 EV country.
Comparing the polestar 2 pricing:
Norway, starting from 469.000Nkr (460.000Skr)

How do you like it? Planning to get the 2022 model in June next year.

You talk WAY to slow for a review. Video should have been 10 minutes, not 17.
Volvo to much bad troubles after 2 years
range is desperately loooow
With all the Taxes in Finland, we can barely afford to drive a bicycle
If this car is made in China it's going to be a heavy Lotto problem I don't really recommend it to buy it, late models of Volvo terrible quality shame on you VOLVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not interested in a car made in China. Some of the Volvo appeal is a European car.
Nice parking buy the inconsiderate van driver. 😳
just the 300 series was uglier !
Have you lost some weight Kris?
I'm sorry but your presentation was too long. I hope you enjoy your lunch. Best regards

nice clickbait, downvoted
It's not click bait you dumb ass! Would advice you to actually learn the definition of the words you use before you go downvoting other videos based on incompetence 🙈
@@KrisRifa even started the video with "watch until the very end" got that ad revenue. Good one
What’s wrong with that? With scripting, logistics, filming and editing a video like this take around two working days. Of course I would want as much as revenue as possible because at this point UA-cam is a job 😊 Do you expect people to make videos just as a hobby and work their asses of else where? 🙈
Hahaha volvo made in china...
