The compact luxury EV SUV market is a fast growing segment. To gain a foothold in it, the Recharge is the all-electric version of Volvo’s compact XC40 SUV. It utilizes a dual motor set-up that powers all four wheels with a combined 402 hp.
More conventionally styled than its C40 sibling, the XC40 offers emission free driving and SUV capability.

2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge Review: First Drive
On paper, pizza is pretty much the perfect food.
Every food group is present. It runs the gamut, from affordable to fancy. Pizza is the great equalizer, the obvious party food choice. Do you really trust anybody who dislikes the ‘za? Or the heretics, like the folks who eat their pizza ice cold?
Similarly, the XC40 is a great sub-compact premium SUV. It’s stylish, comfortable, fun to drive, and practical. For 2021, Volvo has introduced a new flavor, the all-electric XC40 Recharge. It essentially takes the recipe from the Polestar 2 and sticks it in a new pint-size pan.
Even on a too-short first drive, it’s clear Volvo’s got a tasty offering here. Like a fresh margherita pizza though, it’s clearly best enjoyed at a warmer temperature.
