The 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge Is A Fun & Funky Compromised Electric Vehicle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- As the first coupe SUV in the Volvo lineup, the new 2022 #C40Recharge is an attractively styled new entry into the long range luxury EV space. #Volvo has pledged to go completely electric by 2030, and the #VolvoC40Recharge is the second electric only vehicle in the lineup. With up to 226 miles of range and over 400 HP, it’s a spunky little crossover that also happens to look really sleek.

I just rented one of these for a few days, and I was blown away. Also LOVED the interior and the seats. A+ to Volvo for the fake suede - very comfy and doesn’t burn your behind when it’s been sitting in the hot summer sun all day.
You’re getting close to 1M subscribers!! Well done. Keep up the great work. I love your reviews and commitment!
Funny..when you said "Ok Google", my Google Nest mini fired up and started telling me where the nearest charging stations were. LOL!
This is my favorite Volvo All-electric vehicle.
Nice job with your content as always Sofyan.
Every review that I have watched contained the right amount of detail, commentary and professionalism! Great job!
300 miles needs to be the standard for range.
It’s getting a bump up for the next year model.
How is it that 10 millions blonds, living near the arctic circle can have their own car industry, truck industry, armament industry, Ikea, world beating hockey team, olympic medalers, great health care system, some of the highest standards of living in the world and looking so damn good doing all these things?
My 2023 Volvo C40 has been causing me trouble lately. When I'm driving at 65 mph, the steering wheel vibrates very badly, making it quite annoying to drive, not sure if the steering wheel vibration cost the accident or not. Unfortunately, the dealership informed me that they cannot do anything about it. If you're considering purchasing a Volvo C40, I advise you to be careful and aware of this issue.
Additionally, I've been experiencing frequent failures in the data signal almost every week. To restore the signal, I have to manually turn the SIM data off and on again, which is quite inconvenient.
Apple Carplay has arrived but it's a wired Apple Carplay, not wireless. Offroad works when the car is under 35 mph. It distributes power to all 4 wheels and works for gravel and uneven surface road. Volvo also recommends using one pedal driving with local streets and turning it off when on the highway to increase range.
You may want to update this video since there is Apple CarPlay since July. And I would not call the door thunk as tinny. 238 miles out when EPA is 226 is good. Other reviewers have tested the range at 70MPH to be around 221 miles. MotorWeek got 250 miles in their normal range test.
Bought in Thunder Grey :)
Love the performance, hate the range limitation. However, when there are a lot more charging stations nation wide, it will be less of an issue.
This was made or released 3 days ago. I just spent all day long looking for EVs. I can tell you that this car was one of the cheapest cars off the lot. They wanted 80k for the mustang Mach E GT with the same features. The Ioniq 5 sel was just a tad bit more expensive. The id.4 was in between the two. So off lot, this car was the least expensive. I’m so grateful to the long distance dealer who sold me this car without trying to price gouge me like the other dealers. And is he sure apple play isn’t available. I drove a xc40 at one dealer, and it had apple play?
Apple CarPlay is available since July due to OTA update.
Hello Redline, I loving the video and you're the great Apostle to the Auto Journalism. Plz reply.
WTF??
best volvo ever
You should add some reviews of turn corner and brake too which is the best in Redline here.
I’ve been hunting for an EV and have been a bit overwhelmed with the different brands and price tags. Was never a fan of Volvo as a whole but seeing this car, it’s definitely going on my top 5 list.
what is the point or recording the video in April and releasing it in August?
Test drove one of these a couple weeks ago... If you get the Fjord blue interior make sure to get floor mats, because the carpet in the brand new one I drove already looked terrible.
I had a 1978 240 very similar blue in and out, had vinyl interior back then. To see vinyl on a Volvo 44 years later is a disappointment. A cheap Chinese Volvo with woke materials. No thanks.
AND my 78 240 had much better range and shorter "recharging" times. 😆
@@phatgringo2.0 seriously though, I don't get it...why choose a material that's both difficult to clean and basically parishable. I looked at some of the Volvo blog posts and everyone with this interior was complaining about how difficult it is to keep clean. I thought the whole alcantera movement was a bad idea, but manufacturers just keep finding ways to make cars wear faster.
@@NeoTechOps any country that eats animals will have animal skins that they can make into leather. Which is the perfect material for high wear things like car seats and clothing.
Two things this vehicle needed to sell hotter, longer range or cheaper price. It's current price range has vehicles with better in both categories. I still love this vehicle, and it is underrated.
Oh dear lord when you said "Ok Google" it activated my Android auto and started searching for everything you said right after....
This was one of my favorite new electric vehicles but was really difficult to order one and receive it in a timely fashion. However, that was a good thing because after seeing the Polestar 2….There is really no comparison. The Polestar is better in every way. Especially in the looks department.
🤣
C40 more comfortable
Great review and great looking vehicle, but I think the XC40 looks better IMO but I’d choose the Polestar 2. And I agree with you, these wheels are hot! Love the design.
Excellent review, Sofyan. I drove a C40 and it was fine, but at that price point I refer the Polestar 2 AWD, Ioniq 5 Limited AWD and especially the Genesis GV 60 Advanced.
thank you for mentioning the No rear wiper on these new cars. Please keep mentioning that. Im in a snowy area and not getting out of the vehicle to clean the back glass every so often before i leave a parking lot. Again please keep mentioning the no wiper on your reviews. THANKS
Wish you can review bmw ix soon. We just got one last Thursday and loving it so far.
5:23 Nah, painted calipers don’t belong on everything. It’s not a full on performance car.
Or any high sitting vehicle, for that matter
They have CarPlay now
Would be nice if they did have a rear view mirror camera since they don't have a windshield wiper for the back.... it rains heavy in GA when it does rain... and you can't see anything when it does so to not have a wiper in the back with the windshield raked like that... I see a lot of accidents in your future if you live close to ATL... LOL
Imo volvo is going in the right direction but this is not it, 65k and only 200 miles of range is not acceptable in my book
You're right, they say they want every one to switch to ev but make the price sky high
Volvo needs to get the next-gen car out and they say they'll introduce it in a few months. There's been no previews of it like Polestar has done the Polestar 3 and I think that's a mistake. I think Volvo should have shown the next-gen. The c40 is built on the CMA platform and that's not a dedicated EV platform.
Google's voice command work stupendously better than Siri.
I had a power wheel growing up and to me as a kid it was fast... now as adult with no money I can't afford the adult versions of power wheels... LOL
Please test the arcimoto fuv
Omg, this might be my income tax gift 😆
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
I just come here to find out if the horn sounds appropriate. 🙂📯
Sure, it's got a lot of horse power & it's very fast but that range...could it have a little less power & more range? I'm not sure.
I just can't get into these SUV hatchbacks that are becoming more popular.
Hey Volvo, could you lend me one as well? Say for 3 years?
Maybe if you start a car review channel.
Apply CarPlay came with the v2.2 OTA update in July, 22.
Wired though right?
@@drloveland6475 Yes
it turns me on when Soyfan slides his hand on the seat...LOL
Yuh gehh?
@@porfiriato84 lol, why??
The range is a huge issue especially in winter.
This Volvo C40 has a steering wheel vibration very bad when you drive 65 mph, Felt UNSAFE to drive, especially at high speeds.
best looking EV is the e-tron GT
The best looking EV? Ok beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I find it hideous with this hunchback look. It reminds me of an old man’s slipper.
This ev is great despite its range. I can think of a much much worse ev that’s ll be similarly or overpriced 😂
Have mine for 8 months and love it
Nice car.
226 miles is a deal breaker :/
why do you drive 226 miles daily?
@@doomsday9973 sometimes.
Not as often. But does happen. I currently make my way with 220~ but sometimes I forgo heat / AC to squeeze as much mileage as possible.
You wanna drive with some comfort and a bit more piece of mind.
What EV you rockin?
@@dm5075 BMW i4M50, Audi etron
@@doomsday9973 The BMW says it has a range of 227-272, which do you actually get? I was fortunate to get a Model 3 (standard range) mid 2020 but 230 miles means I'm almost guaranteed to need to charge 1-2 per trip. Sitting next to my Model 3 is my brothers long range Model 3 and its night and day. The Audi E-Tron has a few different trims right? which did you go with?
@@dm5075 55 Quattro. Probably get 220 on that around 240 on the BMW (the RWD only 40e gets like 275 I believe). Both more than enough for me. I don’t road trip often nor do I commute in them
Such a nice EV but range is lacking. The rest is so good too so having the lackluster range sucks even more.
226 mile range? how can they not even get it more in the id.4 ballpark. Really weak to go to market with that kind of range for 2023. Bad job Volvo.
I dunno about best looking, looks too much like the mach e, but mach e is nicet on the outside. The interior is ok, range is too short.
Agreed and thank god the Mach-E doesn't have that stupid tri-tone crap that the new Fords have anymore (which is one of the few obvious reasons I'm not buying a new Ford anymore).
What is up with car reviews these days? Every piece of plastic gets scratched, but no meaningful info about the suspension comfort
You can't buy any of these new EVs due to supply shortage
Looking on Autotrader, there are 73 C40's available at various dealerships across the country. All basically at msrp, around $60k
@@jeffs6090 The c40 is sold online. It's a direct-sales car.
Idk the inside looks dated to me
I think the price to range ratio, you're better off buying any other brand.
I think that's a terrible way to judge a car. I don't buy expensive ICE cars due to gas mileage and don't apply that to EVs. If the car has quality and performance, then it'll cost more. Sometimes you get more range when you spend more money, sometimes you don't.
Range isn’t everything in an EV
yikes 40 mins... i rather buy ev6/gv60/ioniq5 for charge time alone
If this is the best looking Ev vehicle, we are all in trouble, and we are all going to fall asleep behind the wheel.
Lol this car looks pretty damn good... For something that's still pretty young in EVs this looks amazing..
A co-worker has an XC 40 and another has a Mach E, I'm not a Ford fan, but I personally prefer Ford's design v Volvo's recent Ev's. Yes even more than the Polestar 2
You should check out the new EV RSS Chevy Blazer
@@joemoe05 good idea. You know if it's available for retail yet?
To fast
too expensive, I'll look at vwid4
78 kwh for only 226 miles... volvo, go back to ICE car please...
ALHAMDULILLAH(SWT). ASTAGHFIRULLAH(SWT).
The straight-on view of the rear isn't bad. But the profile and front look cheap/feminine to me.
Def not the best looking EV....the Hummer looks better than this even though it's in a different class
Wouldnt touch any Volvo.
Interiors are horrible, that looks like a GM product. Looks cheap not worthy for the Volvo badge.
Looks like a Volvo XC40 interior. It's the same interior that came out in 2019, same 9 inch Volvo screen, same vents, same door cards, same seats. Only the inserts have changed and a move away from leather seats. When you sit it in and shut the door, it feels solid and nothing like a GM product.
Volvo going Chinese(cheap) and woke (no leather or wood) is a huge disappointment. Rather have the Ioniq5 or EV6.
LMFAO!!!! I understand what you mean, Volvo should've stayed under American ownership, they should've stayed American and let Ford continue to run their company into the ground, volvos were shit under American ownership, the Chinese were the best thing to happen to the brand, some of the best design language on the road. How can you be bothered by the fact that the Americans didn't see the potential in the Volvo brand but the Chinese did and now it's paying dividends??????
