Introducing The-New 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge Electric SUV https://youtu.be/S3D_-FrqUk0
The 2021 XC40 Recharge sets the interface and user experience for a generation of other Volvo EVs to be offered over this next decade and here, that's a minimalist-luxury approach that pushes the clutter out of the way, and promises just the right amount of choice.
At about 174 inches long, on a wheelbase of 106.4 inches, it’s about a foot shorter overall and 7 inches shorter in wheelbase than the Tesla Model Y and Mustang Mach-E, and while seating space for four doesn’t feel dramatically different, the Recharge clearly has a lot less cargo space. The model it most closely compares to in dimensions is the Kia Niro EV, although the Volvo is taller both cabin-wise and overall.
The Recharge has excellent, thigh-extending, back-supporting front seats. Back-seat accommodations are well-apportioned, too, with plenty of head room and no lack of space to tuck your feet under the front seat—although there’s a rather high, squared-off hump in the middle of the floor that soundly makes the middle position a lot less usable for all but kids. It’s the price of the Recharge’s adapted platform and T-shaped battery pack, running through what might otherwise be a drive tunnel.
The XC40 Recharge does have a frunk, and it’s not as large as those in the Ford Mustang Mach-E or Tesla Model Y but large enough for a couple of small backpacks or a larger duffel bag.
he XC40 Recharge is set to arrive to U.S. dealerships in January 2021, starting at $54,895 (not counting eligibility for incentives like the $7,500 federal EV tax credit).It’s at the small end of a class of crossovers that are called compact by American standards but can serve as full-fledged family vehicles if there isn’t too much gear to take along.
