Unfortunately some people are just here to hate on EVs. Had their mind made up. I wonder how many even watched the video before making comments. It’s a good video. The car is not for me but was glad to learn about it.

We have this wool with 2 little kids, and it's been fine so far. Easy to wipe clean and vacuum.

One of the top down to earth reviews I have seen. I'm watching 100s of different reviews. You have a nice way balancing between how deep you go. Also you stay perfectly to the point 100% all the time. I enjoined. Thank you!

As far as off roading, there's literally no difference between this and the XC40 besides the rear end styling. Nice review!

0ne of the best testdrive I've seen for a long time

I have this exact car in 2023 version and I love it! I charge at home and been averaging 240ish miles per 90 to 10% charge. Las Vegas has a ton of traffic so not a lot of consumption.

I knew that You gonna take it off road. Great review. Greetings

Hi, I really like your content and after watching this video, may I suggest an off road test and review of the Mercedes EQE or EQS SUV? I've seen you test out the eqs sedan and I would like to see an off road test of the EQS SUV or eqe suv

I was wondering how long it was going to take you to find the trip meter. It took me a few minutes when I was inspecting my first one at work a couple of weeks ago. As for charging, I think there's a level two at the Safeway in Belfair. It would be a good place to get a minor charge if you're hard pressed for range.

Thanks for good tips to driwing my new c40

Glad to see more EVs like this. Just regular looking cars that HAPPEN to be EV. Still too expensive for a lot of people, but we're getting there. Volvo's aren't inexpensive in in their ICE form. Good video.

The thing that I don’t like about the fake leather is that it doesn’t breathe, so you have a tendency to sweat unless the seats are cooled.

You can adjust the intensity of the trim light illumination on the dash

theres also a trip reset button inset on the outer part of the turn signal. it even says RESET on it. the entire car is very intuitive. it takes ten minutes or less to learn it all. when you take delivery at a volvo dealer a product specialist walks thru it all.

I actually like electric cars. I think they are a cool tech, and I’m sort of a gadget geek. However, that being said, there needs to be many, many improvements in charge times, range, availability of public charging (not to mention properly operating public chargers, as you experienced in this video) price compared to petrol vehicles, etc etc before these are anything other than a very small minority of vehicles. And I have a feeling if governments/car manufacturers try to “force” these vehicles onto consumers, which some states will be doing in the next few years, the car manufacturers in those states will see a fairly precipitous drop in new car sales as electrics are simply not financially viable nor practical for a large majority of people and people will keep their current petrol cars until the wheels fall off. All that said, this is actually a pretty sweet ride. And another good quality video Ryan, thanks.

Hello, very good reviews, but when will we get the Outlander PHEV?

Do a lot of people watch EV reviews just to prove they are “right” about not wanting one?

Good Morning Ryan. I don't like EVs, period... But this thing is cool looking (Dare I say, looks somewhat like a BMW X4. Especially from the back).

I'm confused by the range discussion. Will I make it etc. I thought the Google system told you expected arrival percentage and was extremely accurate.

Just to correct one of your comments unless Volvo market different models in the US the battery size on the Twin is 82KWh (gross) which is identical to the single motor extended range battery. This gives a net capacity of just under 79KWhs

Please do another Honda Pilot Trailsport offroad on the snowy route!

I suspect in the 2030s many brands we know and love will be discontinued entirely or sold of for a cheap buck. I don't get how such large companies with enormous workforce can put all their eggs into one basket. It's not good business. Hundreds of thousands of workers will be unemployed if the EV industry doesn't get to those huge targets set in many countries. I have owned both a C30 and V40 CC so I really hope Volvo doesn't die off.

Wool being an animal product is not vegan

Sexy car, excellent review Ryan.

If you had used the one-pedal mode I'm sure you would have had a longer range (it's noticeable in my Bolt) - like coming down the mountain

One thing people often overlook about range anxiety is that the issue is not limited to electric. If you were in a gas vehicle, driving in a remote area, you could also find yourself in a situation where you are low on fuel with no station nearby. So it’s always important to research your route.

Very interesting to watch this and his GV60 video and observe the subjectivity in play. Check out the cargo and rear seat area sections for instance.

chapter marks?

I’m getting range anxiety watching this video😂 ICE trucks for me until the range exceeds 500 miles and the charging infrastructure improved drastically, nice review Ryan, love your channel !!

I've heard of other EVs cancelling their off road mode the moment they shut off as well. I'm guessing that that mode is less efficient so its being done to maximize range, but I can see how it would be extremely annoying. Especially since you may have to exit the vehicle relatively frequently when off road. Hopefully automakers abandone that feature quickly.

"But•tons" 😂👍

Better than BYD 😊😊

I like the car itself, but the price is too high, range is too short, there's no tax credit and it comes with a non-standard charge port. There's a reason the Model Y is the number 1 selling car in the world right now.

I have been using voice control for ages now why mess with the screen if not needed

Lately i being watching a tv series from sweden and they used Volvos on it. I like the interior ….

We really need evs with 500 mile range

Don’t understand how wool is vegan…

I'm fascinated that a Volvo decided to go with Wool fabrics, I know they are considered luxury and wear well, but there are a lot of people who are allergic to wool and can't touch it.

The traction control eventually works. But if that hill was a hundred yards long, it would take a month to get to the top. lol What happened to good old LSDs?

Doesn’t the car have automatic wipers ? ,, ;)

I do photos for a Volvo and it’s the most annoying car to shoot. Turns off even when you go from the driver to the back seat, won’t turn back on at all with anything you do. So to shoot the instrument cluster you have to crawl over the seats, on every single one of the

19:13 why do you hate when the car automatically turns off when you exit the car?

It seems like a fun and capable ride but for that amount of money it just doesn't work for me. The value is just not there.

Why do some of your videos have the sections and others don't?

Nobody probably wants this but the government will probably need to mandate an uptime requirement for these charging providers to improve service. Could you imagine having home electricity service with an avg uptime of 60% and return to service of 72 hrs on avg.?

Does he love to get frustrated (because he doesn’t look stuff up in advance). Happens in all cars except Subarus. (Since he’s in those slot). It’s fun to watch. He does mention that if he owned it he wouldn’t be so frustrated. So there’s that

2:15 Nope. They are all the same size battery 79 kWh. Single motor makes it go further.

Thanks for the review Ryan. One of my brothers and sisters in law own an older Volvo AWD SUV. They live in Montana and it takes them everywhere. Their other vehicle is an 04ish Outback. The new Volvo’s are now owned by a Chinese company and are manufactured in China as well. Since the Swedes sold out to the Chinese, Volvo’s quality has tanked and they’re not nearly as safe as Volvo once was the safest vehicle on earth. Now the Outback and Forester are safer than Volvo

RAV4 Prime

I hope VOLVO going all EV works for them. I predict they will go under because of this choice.

One thing to be aware of, YOU CANNOT PLUG A USB STICK in and Play Music files without downloading AUDIOWAGON, yes it's STAGGERING Volvo don't support audio playback in an APP of their own. And to top that EVERY TIME you switch on you have to confirm twice in a POP UP so that the usb device can be used. I came across this when I bought my C40 and EVERYTHING WORKED !! Then guess what... VOLVO upgraded the software AND REMOVED THE FACILITY TO PLAY DIRECTLY FROM ANDROID !!, this happened 2 weeks after I bought it, LIVID ain't the half of it !!

Looks nice and it's not a Tesla (a me too car in my neighborhood).

didn't find a tree to plug into?

WE INVESTORS DEMAND ANSWERS FROM THE BOARD RE: THE OUSTING OF OUR AGREED UPON CEO DR. RANDALL THYMES

Why? Why do EV manufacturers put bells and whistles in their vehicles that use valuable electricity when they already don't have all that great of range compared to their gas equivalent?!? And I'm really loving the comments by two EV cheerleaders who are ignoring a lot of facts and telling us we're all wrong. If I want to have range anxiety I'll pass the gas station that's a very comfortable 380 miles into my drive and go to the one 440 miles that's slightly uncomfortably further. It'll still take roughly 5 minutes to top my tank to 100% either way and the gas flows pretty much as easily at 0F as it does at 80F. And it doesn't ding my range to run the heater.

Absent wireless Apple Carplay at this price point is unacceptable.

I'm not into electric vehicles...especially when the infrastructure is not in place to fully support them. Why is it people are all up in arms about conflict diamonds, but welcome these lithium packs with open arms. Don't they know the lithium is mined in Africa with forced labor just like conflict diamonds????

The reason why EVs are not selling is their expensive price tags. This is coupled by the fact that they are all not reliable.

I think its funny that he keeps saying "throttle", and "gas pedal", in an EV. Come on, Ryan, pay attention. Love the review, otherwise, tho. 👍🏻

All these negative Nellie’s who have never driven an EV. Keep on paying big $$$ to Big Oil and spewing carbon emissions into our atmosphere.

Only way I’d buy an EV is if the infrastructure was there and the price was a quarter of what they cost now…but I’ll be dead by the time that happens.

I’d rather pay around $25k less and get a Subaru Forester Wilderness…and have wireless Apple CarPlay and no range anxiety.

Good review but it doesn't convince me to pay that insane price. Lexus is a better buy with that price range.

Don't bottom out and damage the battery or you will have a $60,000 battery replacement bill on your hands lol.

VW ID4 GTX is the much better choice! No matter what discipline.

BEVs are crap! Keeping my 2002 Subaru Forester S Sport with a manual gearbox and getting a 2024 Tacoma Trailhunter later this year

If you're wondering why auto manufacturers don't install small generators in EV's to get around the dismal charging systems... It's because a onboard generator that could output 20kW would burn around 5 gallons an hour for up to 60 miles per hour of battery recharging. That means your EV would get around 10 miles per gallon and showcase just how inefficient and frankly... stupid... these cars are. A modern gasoline car averages 35mpg, or over 3 times more "environmentally friendly" than any EV. Now, to counter that argument? A modern electrical grid like what powers your home can be upwards of around 65% efficient, much better than a small ICE. This is the whole concept why Elon Musk made Tesla. Regardless what you drive, you're going to burn fossil fuels so he wanted to shift the burning of the fuel to a more efficient and less polluting system (large scale power plants). That means using something like a Chargepoint to recharge your EV gives you an overall gasoline equivalence of 20-25mpg but with a much smaller carbon footprint in terms of burning fossil fuels. Unfortunately, the production of the lithium battery totally removes that environmental benefit as making those things is one of the most environmentally disastrous thing humans have ever done.

Since the Volvo has all Chinese parts and most of their workers are child slave labor, one would expect that the price to buy one would be Cheaper than, say that you actually have to pay someone to work.

A QUICK SEARCH OF YOUR CHANNEL AND THERE IS NO REVIEW OF A TESLA IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. WHY? THE MODEL Y IS THE BEST SELLING CAR IN THE WORLD IN 2023. BESTING TOYOTA RAV4 AND COROLLA. YOU HAVE TESTED OTHER EV'S, WHY LEAVE OUT THE LEADER AND OBVIOUS SUPERIOR EV?
