What the Critics Say
“The Volvo XC40 is already an excellent subcompact luxury SUV. The XC40 Recharge takes many of the Volvo virtues of the XC40 like roomy seating, sleek aesthetics, and excellent safety scores and electrifies it. An all-electric powertrain powers the Recharge model with lively performance and a range of 223 miles on a full charge.” – Kelley Blue Book
“…the Recharge has none of those downsides — it’s quiet, smooth and composed, both around town and on the highway. Making the experience even better is the Recharge’s one-pedal drive mode, achieved through excellent regenerative braking. This can be turned off completely, but I don’t know why you would; once you use one-pedal driving it’s hard to go back.” – Roadshow by CNET
