2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge Review | Stylish, Modern EV with Impressive Range!
"Welcome back to ehtascars! Today, we're diving into the 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge - a blend of chic design and modern electric power. Stick around to find out why this could be your next ride!"
"First, let's talk about the highs. The XC40 Recharge sports a chic exterior that turns heads. Inside, you'll find a cleverly designed interior packed with convenient features. Plus, the optional all-wheel drive powertrain adds a perky punch to your drive."
"But, it's not all perfect. The more powerful AWD model sacrifices some driving range, and it’s not as agile in corners as some rivals. Also, the infotainment interface might feel a bit too basic for some."
"The XC40 Recharge channels the boxy Volvos of the past but with a thoroughly modern EV powertrain. Let's see what's new for 2024!"
"This year, Volvo introduces a 248-horsepower Single Motor rear-wheel drive variant. It offers more driving range than the Twin Motor all-wheel drive version, thanks to a more efficient setup and a slightly larger 79.0-kWh battery. The Single Motor model now offers up to 293 miles per charge, while the Twin Motor trims see improved efficiency with a range of up to 254 miles."
"Pricing for the 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge starts at $53,745 and can go up to $61,745, depending on the trim and options. We recommend the loaded Ultimate trim. It offers great value with features like unique 20-inch wheels, automatic high-beam headlamps, a Harman/Kardon stereo system, adaptive cruise control, and a semi-autonomous driving mode."
"Under the hood, entry-level models come with a single, rear-mounted electric motor delivering 248 horsepower. The Twin Motor models provide full-time all-wheel drive with a combined 402 horsepower. In our tests, the dual-motor XC40 Recharge rocketed from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds, while the new single-motor model hit 60 mph in a respectable 6.5 seconds."
"For range and charging, the Single Motor model's 79.0-kWh battery offers up to 293 miles per charge, while the Twin Motor's 75.0-kWh battery provides up to 254 miles. Though it competes well with the Audi e-tron and Jaguar I-Pace, it falls short against the Tesla Model Y, which exceeds 300 miles per charge. The XC40 Recharge can handle DC fast charging and home charging via a 240-volt outlet."
