Having owned a 2016 XC90, 2019 XC60 and a 2020 (gas) XC40 -- I can tell you -- the Recharge will come to you fully without fit and finish issues like a Tesla. None of mine had a problem with doors not lining up, paint issues, or lines not coming together. Pay more for the Volvo and get quality -- as opposed to being a Tesla fanboy knowing you'll have to deal with terrible fit & finish. You CAN have both. Good design AND good electronics. Unlike what Tesla thinks.
If you're buying a car for fit/finish and using that as main criticism against buying a Tesla, you need to reassess your methods. This car is much worse than a MY in every aspect outside of fit/finish - but a decent first attempt by Volvo.
Volvo one of my favorite brands The XC40 now electric is perfect the seats the red color how secure u feel in this car Mason looks great and it so funny
Obviously not an EV designed from the ground up like Tesla, but it’s a strong sign of things to come - especially with GM announcing they’ll be all electric in 14 years. Massive auto revolution just over the hill - great review, guys!
I really really love the 2021 Volvo XC 40 recharge, it’s very nice and so fast! I love the orange and black Interior! Electric cars are better for your health Especially me with my cerebral palsy! I love all electric cars!
Test drove one yesterday in NJ and LOVED it! No, because originally I went to test an XC90 which is about 180° different from this tiny little car. I wish your review had touched on specifics of charging. My biggest concern is the reality of living with this vehicle and the unknown hassle of how to charge it. I read somewhere that plugging into a household outlet is not supposed to be the main way to charge it even though it is something you can do to top off your car. I’m curious about time to full charge, availability/how to find compatible charging stations, and anything else I’m not thinking to ask yet.
All EV,s to my knowledge can charge from empty to full on a standard outlet....it will just take 8-12 hrs so if you’re not commuting a long distance everyday that’s really all you need
If you don't want to charge using a regular outlet you can buy a charging pump for home and depending on your state if you are a homeowner to oh can get a tax rebate on that has well as on your car
I agree that the range isn't really as good as it should be, considering the price tag. This car is suited for people who live in the suburbs and has reasonable proximity to all the necessities of daily life. With that said, the car is extremely comfortable and pretty spacious for being a compact SUV.
The xc40 is an electric-powered car. It's not a fully-electric platform. Volvo has made a presentation since this video was made on their plans for a full-electric platform. Volvo and Polestar's full-electric platform vehicles should be introduced next year and maybe sold late in the year or the following year. And I'd say that's later in the game so they have this one out for now as well as the Polestar 2.
Man, that mileage is trash... I'm looking at getting a new car soon and this video had me very interested until the mileage was quoted. 300 miles should be minimum.
Yea with current battery 🔋 tech that’s the unfortunate case... even Tesla can’t crack real world mileage Above 300miles you have to pay six figures in their plaid model S and X

I have now 2. VW ID-4'S. A , 1 St Edition. & Pro S w Gradient Package. Basically Same Vehicles, and a 3rd one coming this October 2021. AWD PRO S W GRADIENT PACKAGE AWD. I was looking at this XC40 Recharge beautiful vehicle but. 208 miles is HORRIBLE. you have to consider the VW ID-4'S also they are in the same class of this XC40 RECHARGE. END result is HORRIBLE RANGE. if you drive this XC40 Recharge hard you will barely get 170 miles of Range. HORRIBLE. but I suppose I will keep my 3rd ID-4
My Office Manager bought herself a Tesla and told me that she was told by Tesla she cannot run it through a car wash because it will ruin the paint job and because the metal is so thin. She has to have someone come to her house and hand wash with special soap. What’s the story with the Volvo ... can it be taken through a car wash? Dear God that orange is ugly AF. 😞

I owned a Tesla Model 3 and traded it in for an XC40 Recharge. No doubt. No question. The Volvo is a superior car.
Why didn’t you go to a model y? Asking for info purposes
What a handsome EV, glad to see you didn't forget the coupons :) I'm considering to trade in my 2020 LR M3 to this.
Wow it looks nice good job
This is so beautiful
@@markplott4820 Actually made in Belgium. Will eventually open an XC40 plant in China as well.
For the next video, could it be a XC40 VS model Y? That would be awesome!

@@markplott4820 Yes they do in S. Korea.
Right. Volvo has a ground-up design in the works but it won't be on the market until next year.
Another great Volvo vid, guys! Thanks!
I love the main screen placement. With Teslas it seems the big screen is just slapped on like a TV in your den.
I really really love the 2021 Volvo XC 40 recharge, it’s very nice and so fast! I love the orange and black Interior! Electric cars are better for your health Especially me with my cerebral palsy! I love all electric cars!
Fun fact: My aunt recently got this car in replacement of her third Lexus. It’s pretty cool.
Honestly this is kind of more interesting to look at rather than the model y because it has some different stuff in it
Facts
Literally lol
@@markplott4820 any SUV can do it with the right mods
I think it’s because Tesla opted for minimalist design so it makes it look plain sometimes
It looks really nice!
@@markplott4820 geely only provides the money
Great review!!!
Awesome video y’all!
Mason, Drew, is this you?
Hi love your vids keep up the great work!! I hope they make a R-Design Volvo XC40 recharge, I would buy that
This looks very similar to the R-Design XC40.
Heads up. The trunk didn’t open with your foot cause you were slightly doing it wrong. It took me so many tries to get it to open too lol
Id choose this over a Tesla
I have a Volvo my self I have a xc90 it a good car all Volvo care about is safety for people that good ❤️

i like the orange interior floor on this one'
At what charge rate can the Volvo recharge at ??????
Over 150kwh
Sound system test very good.
love my 2021 xc40 may need to revisit the re charge model in a couple years. I want the cool orange interior
and Amazon Blue Bring back Amazon Blue
im been wait for you to film the mdx 2022 when will you film it
Sunday!!
3:17 why do car manufacturers not just do all LED looks far better than halogen and last longer. Bugs the hell outta me. Especially in 2021
Better than Tesla
So the shifter is different now? I thought you had to do a double shift down to go in to drive and double up for reverse.
Yes, it is different (and better) in that regard
@@jeffs6090 there's like a small notch that you can feel in between drive and reverse
Argh. I struggle trying to get in neutral with my QX50.
Would y’all trade the Tesla for this? Does it have TH-cam in it?
THERES AN IMPOSTOR!!!
No, but we prefer sedans
I would get the gas model to replace a Tesla.
the only EV i would like to own right now... but i would wrap that front mask to black just to break that mass...
Great Review Bro, Also This Is Actually My Dream SUV Too 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😎😎😎💕💕
If I could afford it (I can't) I'd buy it over a Tesla
208 mile range is a dealbreaker

At least for the price you get *way* better fit and finish.
I'm still uncertain if this can be a game-changer for even Volvo itself, leaving out compact models in potential regions.
Well, it is better looking, built quality is better and cheaper so yes, it beats tesla model y in every aspect.
Definitely better than a Tesla but still terrible because it’s electric. The non recharge is better.
$59,000? Hell no!
It's a Bowers & Wilkins sound system, not Harman Kardon. I actually have have one of these.
With all due respect, even the speakers are clearly labeled as Harmon Kardon in the video 🤷♂️

@@tony24-u9x regardless of daily commuting or not.... you still have the inconvenience of battery charging etc for long travels...
Black inside only/ too hot in warm climates
"easily"
this car is not in the same class as the tesla.... one is a suv...the other is a hatchback...

I’d rather have a RAV4 prime and use gas on trips.
Why do a grille insert,move on already,let the past go

Audi S5 sound system sound way better than Volvo XC40.
No. Volvo B&W sound system kills anything Audi has.
Seriously ugly interior, and I'm giving up my beloved VolvoC30 for the tesa.
😍😍😍👍👍How beautiful 🌺🌺🌺

When you use 1 pedal drive does the car apply the brake lights, does it apply auto brake hold so it won’t roll?
Yes and yes
