We have the electric XC40 since yesterday. Today it was time to try everything out. Not comparable to a petrol car. One pedal drive is handy, but you have to leave the brake alone because then you come to a complete standstill.😮It's a great car. Quiet and pleasant. Remarkable amount of space everywhere. Finally acceptable ventilation. Very modern, well-functioning and unobtrusive compared to the grilles in previous models.
@@MGReviewsBlog Thank you. We bought this XC40. Today a new experience by charging it via the 'wallbox' that was installed a month earlier.The advice of the garage is to charge to 90%. That's better for the battery. Started at 11:00 am and the app says that at 2:00 pm the battery is 90%. We have a 3-phase connection in the house to be able to charge faster. Everything works perfectly. You have to take extra costs into account (3-phase connection, wallbox, solar panels) if you want everything properly arranged.
Great video, but why don't any car reviews include the dark side of the unreliability of these over priced consumer items?? I've had a 2024 XC40 for only 6 months, and I've taken it back to the dealership twice for infotainment/navigation issues. Now I need to take the vehicle in for safety sensor failures. Seriously?? 6 months old... I Never had my blind spot system fail on my Honda. Please... consider all the the real life issues with these poor designed vehicles with your review.
Thanks! I can't speak for other reviewers but I only comment on things that i experience. I only get these cars for 1 week so I'll rely on owners commenting their experiences with each vehicle (if they comment at all). Having said that, if I experience anything while I have the car, I'll mention it in my review. With this XC40, nothing happened. With it's electric brother, things did go wrong: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xlHMbDFITFQ.html I also had an XC90 PHEV on demo last year and it threw a check engine light because it could not complete an over the air software update so it had to go back to Volvo for the update and clear the code.
Yes, the features are most of the time packaged differently between the CDN market & the US market. Since I live in Canada, I generally list the Canadian specs & features.
How would you generally judge the 20 inch tires? You mentioned them both in relation to the noise as well as the comfort feeling. While I personally really like the look of the 20 inch wheels, I would (because of noise and relation to comfort/suspension) be more inclined to choose the 19 inchers or would you say the 20 inch wheels add very little difference in that regard?
Unfortunately I haven't driven an xc40 with the 19" wheels. They always like to put top spec trims in the fleets. But generally speaking, tires with thicker sidewalls do provide slightly better comfort at the expense of responsiveness.
