Because he shoot a video in sunlight in summer season

I just bought a 2023 C40 Recharge Ultimate leftover model that the dealer was trying to move quickly for 2024 units. I got it for almost half the MSRP. Best vehicle purchase ive ever made. I can't stop taking it out for fun!

"To the door panel" I'll never get tired of hearing that line. Thanks for sharing Joe.

I love that rear wheel drive is making a comeback.

You are so very welcome Rick

I like this Volvo C40 extended range BEV..scooting along like a cloud ☁️ blue 💙 😀..thanks Joe and Steven for this breezy segment 😊

Amazing review Joe.

Greetings from the u.k. got one on order cant wait good vlog.

Have the 2023 C40, but twin motor which decreases the 0-60 to 4.3 seconds. Very good review and hit the pros and cons. The rear window view is my biggest complaint. The video doesn’t do justice to the interior quality. There are some pretty good discounts on it which makes it attractive for an around town vehicle.

For $59,000, the interior is most definitely not up to par.

Joe, bringing the suprise reviews as always 👌 By the way, I perfer the look of the XC40 recharge, IMO.

You got it my brother!

I have a polestar 2 so basically same infotainment. When you move the AC to 3, that’s the auto setting. If you adjust the temperature it will slow down or speed up the fan depending on what temperature you set it to.

RWD is always a plus imo. And it doesn't look like an EV marshmallow.

Yes of course Joe & I be happy to afford this.

Cheap as heck looking interior/infotainment

Joe hasn’t met a solid white line that he doesn’t want to cross. 😝

How would you compare it vs the audi q4 e-tron?

That is such a good statement

wheels look like theyre from hotwheels

if you are in the market for a c40. maybe look at a polestar too.

I've driven the Recharge. Really nice, and QUICK! Haven't driven the Audi. However, after driving the Recharge, I don't know how ANYONE could go back to an ICE vehicle and wait for revs to build and the worse NVH.

Volvo has been catching my attention a lot.

Volvo needs to ditch those piano black interiors

That color is sexi

@@RaitisRides yes sir

The problem is if you want adaptive cruise control and pilot assist, you have to buy the Ultimate version. Those are things I would expect on every model.

You can actually have it activated by reprogramming the computer, they all come with the hardware. Doing this however definitely voids the warranty, but I imagine it would be quite easy to get away with.

One thing to be aware of, YOU CANNOT PLUG A USB STICK in and Play Music files without downloading AUDIOWAGON, yes it's STAGGERING Volvo don't support audio playback in an APP of their own. And to top that EVERY TIME you switch on you have to confirm twice in a POP UP so that the usb device can be used. I came across this when I bought my C40 and EVERYTHING WORKED !! Then guess what... VOLVO upgraded the software AND REMOVED THE FACILITY TO PLAY DIRECTLY FROM ANDROID !!, this happened 2 weeks after I bought it, LIVID ain't the half of it !!

I overlook any Chinese brand until Democracy and Human Rights are restored to Hong Kong .

I would wait until the next model year. It'll have some good and needed upgrades, along with a renaming to EC40. The XC40 Recharge will get the same and renamed the EX40.

For 59,000… I’m out.

No, both unreliable

Have the 2023 C40, can't stand it! Awful build quality and customer service that can care less!

Not a fan of Volvos
