And once more into the fray with (just released) 1.9 software? :D
About the update:
-Range improvements in certain driving conditions.
-Improved traction in slippery conditions.
-Improved driver display messages about charging, battery status and available power.
-Range estimate in the driver display and in-vehicle apps Range Assistant and Google Maps now considers the effect of low temperatures on available range when the vehicle has been left unplugged."
I'm still waiting for the OTA update for the 1.9 but the car is still telling me that the 1.8.1 is the most recent update it had when i picked it from the dealer. Would be nice that the OTA update would be available when they release the new software update but seems that is not the case.
Moi Matti, do you know, can this car climatize cabin remotely if not plugged in or no?
@@Hemuli5454 same here. Maybe in few days..
@@igrich75 Sure can. Do it daily. Don't have option to charge at home.
The 1.9 update is only available from the dealer, not OTA. Add to that, the features listed will come in the next OTA, not in the dealer 1.9 update.
Thanks for your tests on this car. My wife is interested in getting one and it's nice to see information from independent sources. The smallish range of this car is not an issue for us as she would use it for a daily commute of 28 miles (45 km) round trip. Also, we live in Austin TX, USA and the weather conditions you have in Norway are, um shall we say, non-existent here. However, in summer we do have daily high temperatures over 100º (38º C) so it would be interesting to see how high temps might affect range. Hard for you to do in Norway I guess.
Again great test Kris! Feeling a bit 'meh' about the result on this second attempt so lets hope Volvo is able to squeeze some more efficiency out of that battery pack by coming OTA's... Keep 'em coming!
Un' auto con una linea bellissima che impone qualche rinuncia pratica a chi la vuole possedere ( range limitato , gestione non facile dell' OPD , assenza di tendina parasole alle basse latitudini...)
Welcome back buddy !!! Hope you are better know !! As always, superb vid Kris, your the best !!
Greetings from Barcelona :)
Hi Kris, when will you be testing the XC40 Single Motor? I am very much looking forward to that car. Thanks!
Another one here really interested in seeing how the single motor versions would compare. Thanks Kris for the great work with these tests! 👌
Got ours 2 months ago and we love it. Charge at home and 40 mins fast charge out on long runs. Coffee, emails, loo, etc no bother.
Understand that to compare you need to try to have similar conditions. But we can’t control the weather, and this type of result makes a change to EV a big worry for me! I know range if affected by temperature, as I have a plug in hybrid.
These are interesting results. I got nearly the same rate of consumption at -3c driving in snow and on wet roads while climbing around 3,000m in my Polestar 2 LR DM. When it's somewhat flatter and dryer during the winter, I'm getting closer to 22 kwhr/100km on longer trips. By comparison, the drag coefficient on the Polestar 2 is .278 compared to the .329 on the Volvo C40.
Kris, It’s nothing to be disappointed about. 21" wheels vs 19"
Senpai is BACK!!!!
I have a C40 since a couple of weeks. My range on the highway is also 225 km's . And to reach this, I have to be careful and use cruise control at 115. If I will drive any faster it even goes down.
Cold conditions?
@@pedrodfg Indeed. And I must say, a couple of months later, and warmer, the range now is well over 300 km's
Good morning Chris when you do a new road test Jaguar I Pace See the difference between it in the new vehicles
Great looking car but in Canada it's 73k dollars. A fully loaded Ioniq 5 AWD is 60k. ID4 AWD fully loaded 58k and a Q4 mid trim AWD is 65k. Volvo is really overpriced here.
# Kris you have to do the test again with an other C40- it can't be true that that car consumes 20-50% more energy than almost all rothers on your chart!
I really like Volvo cars, so it's saddening that they have such a high consumption. Those Jävle svenska must get better at building an efficient car. Until then i'll stick with my Model Y.
New 1.9 update should improve the range but let see how much if so.
@@Hemuli5454 a 20% improvement of an software update... If it's possible, then i would never buy the car..then it's not a finished product. But keep dreaming. I think there is a major loss in bad aerodynamics.
quite normal for this temperature! Electric cars suck when it's cold. The range can be up to 100% longer with warmer temps (depends on AC use, road conditions, etc.)
@@vascoduarte4519 the Norwegian car owner club have just made such a test and Kris result does not give the same result- it did much better. and they came op with numbers in the range 11-25%- which means that your number- 100% longer in cold- which are 50% shorter, seen as the range are normally calculated are 100% off, if you do know math ;-Dtal
The same mechanics that causes range loss for EV are still there for ICEV. You just don't talk about them. When the road is wet the fuel consumption goes up. When it's cold the consumption goes up, when you got head winds.... The only differences are that EV have to use extra energy from the battery to heat the cabin and battery where the ICEV just uses the waste heat ( there are plenty, because they only get 20-35% into mechanical energy) and that you just don't talk about the range loss for ICEV as a result of driving conditions.
@@henrikhansen1507 I have a very extensive data collection from 2 cars. Comparing diesel (A6 3ltr TDI) and electric.
1. Diesel is about 20% less efficient in winter vs summer.
2. Electric (P2) is 100% less efficient (from 19kWh/100km to nearly 40 32-35)
3. Charging an EV "warm" and then leaving it over night in -15c (3-4 weeks in the North) will lead to an effective loss of energy available (unlike Diesel).
Electric cars are heavily affected by cold. Regarding road conditions, the impact is not that large and potentially the same in both ICE and EV.
Grazie Kris, sempre efficace. Spero che tu faccia la prova anche per la single motor quando l' avrai a disposizione.
Thanks Kris! Good video and great information.
When are you getting the iX? :D
Hi Kris, Kindly do a range test of 100% to 0% SOC on motorway speed on XC40 P6 Single Motor car and share the results on your channel. Not a single car reviewer has done this test and everyone is focusing on P8 Twin motor.
I wish you could change the color of the backlit panels and lights.
Great video, Chris..
This car has a drag coefficient of 0.33. (DC of the tesla Model Y is 0.23!) With all the OTA updates in de world it still will be 0.33. This is a really bad number for a modern EV. As long as Volvo doesn’t change their design, range only improves with bigger batteries…
-4 to 3 degree plus wet its pretty results for ev i bet this car will do similar to its number in more ideal condition dry temps around 20-25 celcius
When will you test the XC40 P6? Would be nice see difference for only have a single motor!
Great review. Relay click is prominent in my XC40 Recharge but not a big deal. 2022
Something's wrong with your C40. It should have much better range than what you're getting, based on the XC40 numbers. . It should have less drag than the XC40, but mostly the same car.. And the XC40 does not have such a drastic turtle mode at such a high battery percentage.
It's minus 3 degree in the wet here in Thailand xc40 in temp dry around 30c at night you looking at 350km plus range
No word on the issues related to low SOC that were experienced on the previous run of this C40.
Were those problems solved?
If so, how?
If not, are you waiting for the NHSR for getting in trouble again ;)?!?
Why not making your spread sheet available just like Bjorn does? Not accusing Bjorn of anything but my feeling is that you are more non-biased...
Dealer told me 400km range. Reallife range shown here is also what I get with my C40. It’s criminal what they’ve sold me. Should have gotten the Tesla Y…
If they told you 400km on the highway, then they lied. 400km in combination driving is achievable
400km in ideal conditions dry 20-25 Celsius temp and no more then 100kph highway speed saw 380plus km on the xc40 I'm sure this will do 400km in the dry at ideal temps at 100kph constant
@@patthonsirilim5739 there are hundreds of XC40 Pure Electric videos on TH-cam and nobody has achieved 400km range
@@eugenelawrence8517 th-cam.com/video/CWB-aPH5TbI/w-d-xo.html
dude drove the xc40 recharge with started out with 100% ended the trip at 18% left in the battary soc adjusted he was able to achieve 100-0% soc of around 455km the car was tested at no more then 90 kph and ideal temp in the dry at a constant 100 in ideals temp 21-30c 400km is achievable anything more in terms of speed and not in ideal termpreture will see the range drop significantly alot of test i see cars are driving 120-130 kph at temps around 0-10c that to fast and to cold somtime even wet.
@@patthonsirilim5739 I have seen his video and felt very optimistic, however he speculated that the remaining charge would get him to 455. This cannot been verified. I have owned the XC40 P8 for almost a year and hardly ever drive on the highway. My mix is mostly at an average speed of 50km/h and over the 8000 km I have driven, my average is 24.5 kW/100km with driving nicely
Love the design, would pick this one over a polestar. 👌
Kia Ev6 303 -C40 245 = 58 km not 70km difference like you say. anyway. the cars look completely different and a comparison is not ideal and/or correct. Not everyone chooses a car because of the range, otherwise we wouldn't even be watching your videos. Or? Can you compare the premium feeling or the design of a Volvo with a Kia? I doubt those buying a Taycan spend so much time considering its range...
Vad gör man i ytterfil när man inte ligger för omkörning?
Snälla testa BMW i4 e40!
Nobody is going to wait for ideal conditions to go where they want to go, how about testing in real driving world situations and conditions !
Exactly!
What happened to your e-tron GT and all the awesome content you were supposed to create for us? Out of money?
Taycan coming, etron is sold.
Well, drove it for two weeks then nothing. «Best car ever». No more content…
I would like to have test on hot tropical climate.
I suspect this car would be an ‘emotional’ purchase rather than a ‘logical’ one; it’s obviously not the most efficient EV, and maybe it’d be worth waiting on the Polestar3 before committing to ordering?
which is basically what cars always sold on mostly.
John, I agree that the decision to purchase this vehicle would be an emotional one and not a logical one. When I am spending that kind of money for a vehicle, I want to be emotional about it. I ordered my C40 three weeks ago and it should be at my dealer here in Canada between June 21st and July 21st.
@@brianmaltby1424 - it looks a very nice car to be fair. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
@@johnminshall242 Thank you. I am a 68 year old retired fire fighter and for once in my life, I am going to splurge on myself! Thank you again, and be safe.
But isn't real life driving situations what you had on the first test ??
I can drive my car in all weather! if I buy EV I have to wait for “ideal” weather? Aware the cold impacts range. Living in a country that is typically wet and windy, I am worried about changing to EV as I travel all year!
That ambient lighting gives me a weird vibe when you zoom in. Can’t really look at it up close. Gives me a headache, not sure it’s because from the camera or if it would be the same in real live^^
But interesting concept nonetheless
It doesn't give headache in the car and the lighting also dims when you put the car on drive and brightens up when you put on park
Kris, would it be possible when talking about ranges to overlay the text of a conversion in to miles/kWh? That would be really helpful. Thanks
@MultiTroll84 if only the UK would covert all road signage and car speedometers in to KMS. Life would be so much easier
Strange that the c40 had worse range than the XC40
Volvo is a scam! My 2023 Volvo C40 has a steering wheel that vibrates very badly, making it quite annoying and UNSAFE to drive, and Volvo doesn’t want to fix it.
❤🌹 God bless you 🙏🙏. You are missing out - P r o m o s m !
life with ev cars is so sad, poor, and complicated. And as a loyal Volvo customer, I'll must move to another brand, because Volvo ev car are again so poor, and meaningless, even worst than other ev. What's the point on spending so much money and have no range?, than no leather seats.. and so on...Volvo s not anymore a premium brand imho.
This car can't be compared to the newer Volvos due out this year. Remember, this is not on an EV platform. It's on a hybrid platform. The newer aerodynamic Volvos possibly with different motors and batteries should offer more competitive range.
No leather seats is where the whole industry is going. Recyclable, sustainable materials are going to be more desired over animal based products.
@@benjaminsmith2287 plastic seats are just green wash. A good quality leather can be treat with a very sostainable tannery. I buy 1000€ shoes instead of 10 pair of Nike. And a good quality leather last a lifetime. No a man who i know, and for sure not me, would spend a lots of money for a luxury car with plastic seats or how you call it sustainable leather. Simply green wash at it best. as Ev cars is. Will be mor coherent if People do not eat even a cow, , chiken or a fish or animal in general, if doesn’t want leather seats. And even they should not fly by plane or by boat.. because they burn a lots of petrol, which for many northen european country is a big part of their estate business, for instace...It is my opinion.
@@MrMarcob73 I understand your POV and it's shared by many. Car companies are jumping on the sustainability bandwagon and we'll see how long leather will be offered. They may try to entice with other types of materials like alcantara or synthetic types. They're getting good at faux leather, however.
The design was a massive downgrade on this one.
It just screams "GRANNYMOBILE!"
Thank you for letting everyone know that you have a terrible sense of design
I don't see it is uglier than Xc40. also 1000 times looking better than Iconic 5.
Hi Kris, when will you be testing the XC40 Single Motor? I am very much looking forward to that car. Thanks!
It has the same range as the dual motor as it also has a smaller battery pack
