Great reviews as usual and as an added bonus you managed to set off our Google Assistant in the house....😂😂
😁
Great view Derek, nice except for that trans tunnel 🙈
& too expensive imo..
Keep them coming 👌
Thanks Joe. Definitely on the more premium side for sure
Hello Derek. What do you know about the special 30th anniversery edition of the KIA Sportage? Any chance you could do a review on it soon see is it worth buying over the regular K3?
Thanks Sharon. Unfortunately I don't know too much, I only review full electric so I've never looked at the Sportage
Great review mate
Thank you kindly
Glad to see the improvements (and have your confirmation that drive feel has improved). With the fast charge and range tweaks, the XC40/C40 line will be even more appealing.
On the "charge complete" time, I think it might be accurate...that last 5-10% is a bear and it might be the one thing they didn't fix. Don't fast charge to 💯, Volvo fans!
Thanks Steve, I didn't know how poor the last bit of Volvo charging was! Just looked up the charging curve
Thanks for sharing!..
Thanks for the comment!
Great review
Thanks
Always loved the C40. What would you choose between a Volvo C40 single motor rwd or an ex30 twin performance?
C40. For the space and the driver cluster.
@@NevoEVReviewIrelandit’s a really tough decision. I actually prefer the ex30 interior. But the c40 cluster is pretty much perfect (I have the xc40 just now) it’s just maybe starting to look a little dated. The extra space is definitely a pro for the C40 but I only have one 14 year old daughter so still enough space in the ex30. C40 is cheaper on pcp here….but ex30 has a higher guaranteed future value.
Lovely car but I'm a Volvo fan, so biased. Price means I will have to wait a few years for secondhand.
Thanks Derek
Des
Thanks Des, I'd say some gen XC40s must be other there on the 2nd hand market
Nice review. I like much of this except for ;
*Transmission tunnel making this a 4 seater. Next week i'm taking 4 adults on a one hour drive. Couldn't get 3 in the back with that with any comfort.
*The screen with those ugly ventilation sliders next to it.
I could overlook those if it wasn't for...
*The Price
My current EV has automatic regeneration mode like this (along with specific levels). I tried auto for five minutes. Hated it. Who wants to slow down unpredictably?
Thanks for the comment Joe. What will you go for instead
@@NevoEVReviewIreland hard to know. I've looked at the ex30 (too small) polestar (too low and don't like the cockpit) model y (too big) so I'm waiting to see what comes next. Maybe the Kia EV4 which a Soul lookalike (or is it the EV3 I forget which is which). I'm in no rush now I've taken the substantial depreciation hit another year with the same car (Kia Soul EV) is a solid financial decision plus it's a good car with great range.
Solid car but massively over priced.
Definitely on the premium side
You get what you pay for!
I love this car!
It's very nice in fairness
It needs the EX90 digital screens. The current one is so old..
I’m really confused with Volvo: is the C40 the EC40??
It will be yes!
One thing to be aware of, YOU CANNOT PLUG A USB STICK in and Play Music files without downloading AUDIOWAGON, yes it's STAGGERING Volvo don't support audio playback in an APP of their own. And to top that EVERY TIME you switch on you have to confirm twice in a POP UP so that the usb device can be used. I came across this when I bought my C40 and EVERYTHING WORKED !!
Then guess what... VOLVO upgraded the software AND REMOVED THE FACILITY TO PLAY DIRECTLY FROM ANDROID !!, this happened 2 weeks after I bought it, LIVID ain't the half of it !!
Drag coefficient of 0.319. Is just a big inefficient tank.
Average for Suvs is 0.35 to 0.45
As good as they could make it I'd say
Rear wheel drive better in every situation? 😂 Yea not in the snow tho. Rwd is just for the feel, fwd cars are cheaper to manufacture and maintain and are way better in the snow.
I said nearly every situation but I agree.
Only for fossil cars because of the motor in the front (weight). EV have a Battery in the middle and the c40 has also the motor in the back. It is much easier to tune an EV electronically, so RWD is better in snow then FWD (EV only). The best is by snow is AWD.
I did not like the view out the back window - Bad Blind Spot
Letterbox size for sure
Volvo shares tank after Geely sells stock; admits more selling to come
The Electric Viking
Interesting 🤔
@@NevoEVReviewIreland Geely
Not sure what theyre doing when the plan is with this lining up against the polestar 3? Its cheaper and sounds largely better...
Thanks for the comment. Huge difference in price with the Polestar 3 starting at €99k
Hello mate
Morning!
tämä on china volvo
?
now the Chinese product is good ?
a real brainwashing
i have a 2022 electric Volvo with lot of problem , change the battery under warranty and now the éléctric motor is very noisy, leak water inside like a pool, rust underneath ,
i will never buy Volvo again ,
Sorry to hear this. Doesn't sound like Volvo standards
Sorry to hear this. The C40 is an European car. Designed, engineered and tested in Sweden, produced in Gent (Belgium). Then new RWD motor is engineered by Volvo (more efficient and more torque), no more chinese construction. But i understand your complains. I drove two years a Polestar 2 without any problem and i will get the 2025 C40 end of June.
