RWD was pretty brave on Your course. Nice episode. Greetings

I have this car and I love it. Its comfortable, very safe to drive, the regenerative break is like AI powered and you don’t seek power adjustment in menu. I almost do not use break pedal. The software is managed by google and does not create any problem and you get frequent updates. I also felt more comfortable w/o apple car play because car software is simply more compatible with its software by google maps.. The navigation on driver screen is perfect you don’t loose navigation while looking something on main screen (for example this one can not be actively used via apple car play)

I have a 2021 XC40 Recharge and I LOVE it. The car is fantastic! I’m looking forward to leasing a 2024 XC 40.

FYI, 2025 Recharge gets the white/cream interior options from the regular XC40 if that is of interest to you.

I love that you take EVs offroad! There are not many tests of the traction control / AWD system in electric cars. But the ones i've seen show, that there is still a lot of potential... In electric VW/Skoda the systems seems to be worse than in their petrol engine cars... Same for Volvo. Not shure about bmw...

Weirdly didn't appear in my feed. Luckily checked to see why no video recently. I will be honest, I loved Volvo. I owned both a C30 and a V40, beautiful cars but there was always something going on. I have family that own the XC60 and XC90, they have had numerous issues but due to surviving an accident in an S40 that involved a large truck they are not willing to change brands.

Too bad you didn't get the AWD version, but at least it does look more comfortable for sleeping than the Hornet.

@nicktroia6815 2 ай бұрын

Hit the play/pause button. When you get out, or before you get in if you really want the car 'running' you simply hit that button and the car comes to life.

We just picked up a fully-loaded certified 2021 XC40 Recharge and love it. Not as sporty as our Model 3 and definitely more thirsty, but with only 8K on the odometer and coming in at under 2/3 of what it stickered for new it was a steal. Far, far better build quality than the Tesla, this really feels like a premium segment product. Supercharger access coming up soon will make it a zero-compromise solution.

Better quality than Tesla ain't really saying much, Tesla being an upturned bathtub with a TV inside.

Volvo moving to a RWD or RWD bias platform on their ( And Polestar) EVs really shines a light that they take lead from engineering. After the 80s, they preferred bias where the weight was. With EVs and their skateboard weight distribution, weight is more even so Volvo has shifted these models similarly.

It seems like they need to improve their wheel braking. Even though their parent company is Chinese, you would think that the Swedish side of the company would have pushed for more off-road worthiness.

I have a special place in my heart for Volvo but 60K is a lot of money and I’m seeing the lack of value here. Especially considering it’s not AWD.

I took a test drive on XC40 and that thing wont go beyond 24mph. Turns out the software was set to some turtle mode 🤷🏻‍♂️ anyway software is horrible, drive customization is bad & it is many years behind on software.

Given the poor performance on the course, I would question if it's even drive-able in the snow except in completely flat terrain. You'd have to get winter tires for sure and even then, I wouldn't trust it.
