Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The C40 Recharge, despite sharing much of its mechanical bits and interior design with the XC40 Recharge, is an all-new model for the Volvo lineup.

Pros
Peppy acceleration,
stylish inside and out,
clever interior storage solutions.

Cons
Sloped roof creates big blind spots,
quirky infotainment interface,
driving range isn't groundbreaking.
