You can put the car into the equivalent of “accessories” mode in ICE cars by pressing the menu button under the infotainment screen. Climate control and everything else inside will stay on until one of the front passenger leaves. Volvo refer to this as passive mode.

I mention that, and it's way more work than NOT pushing the stop/start button on almost any other EV. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Most journalists don't seem to like this no start-stop button thing, but as a user (or me personally), I love it so much. Getting in, putting in gear and off you go is so easy for me. Also with one pedal mode I even let it roll to stop, get off without bothering putting it in N or P, lock the car and walk away.

[@PRNTestDrive]

I think most people don't like it, it's just journalists are the ones making reviews on them. It might work for some, and if you like it that's great. But I still like being in control of simple tasks like that.

how many miles that car has

[@PRNTestDrive]

It’s a brand new car, has like 3,000 kms on it.

[@JeffTokayer]

$82k before or after tax?

[@PRNTestDrive]

Everything we show includes MSRP, federal air tax, and delivery. Local taxes aren’t included since they vary significantly from each province/state.

[@JeffTokayer]

@@PRNTestDrive so $82k + HST

[@PRNTestDrive]

And minus any incentives like federal/provincial rebates.

[@JeffTokayer]

@@PRNTestDrive what was your net net cost, including taxes and rebates.
I’m trying to compare the C40 to the Tesla model Y.

[@BruceLlE]

OMG, sorry to say, but that infotainment design is hideous.

[@PRNTestDrive]

It's certainly not our favourite. In fact it's low on the list for us. Google Maps is good, but that's the only positive we can say about it.
