The XC40 also has clever interior features like a deep armrest cubby with a removable waste bin and an accessory hook for purses or backpacks on the passenger side of the center console. Cleaner, less smelly cargo goes under the rear hatch, which reveals 25.0 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats up or 46.0 cubic feet with the seats down. It’s a shallow affair measuring 1.0 cubic foot, but it’s enough space for the on-board charger, tire inflator kit, and perhaps a few odds and ends – your muddy hiking boots will feel right at home. With tons of added power and a low center of gravity courtesy of its 75.0-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, the electrified XC40 keeps the gasser’s nippy personality while adding some genuine performance.īefore you ask, yes, the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge does indeed have a frunk. Although it competes with the Ford Mustang Mach-E and mechanically similar Polestar 2, the XC40 Recharge is perhaps most impressive weighed against its gasoline-powered sibling. While EVs based on existing internal-combustion platforms are inherently compromised – and an unimpressive 223 miles of EPA-rated range reflects that – the Volvo XC40 Recharge is nonetheless a lovable offering.
The torquiest vehicle wearing the Iron Mark is actually one of the smallest – the fully electric 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge, which ties its coupified C40 Recharge sibling with 486 pound-feet courtesy of an electric motor on each axle. If someone asked you which Volvo model had the most torque, you’d probably assume it would be the sporty V60 Polestar or the flagship XC90, right? That’s what I would’ve thought, and I’d be wrong.
