Uploaded 3 years ago by CarGurus UK

Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video:
- The car is a coupe crossover SUV.
- It shares the same underpinnings and lower-half styling as the XC40.
- All C40s are electric; Volvo's first solely electric model.
- The car with twin electric motors drives all four wheels, delivering 408 horsepower.
- It gets from 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds.
- Its 78 kWh battery has a range of 273 miles, according to official figures.
- The car costs over 58,000 pounds.
- Cheaper versions exist with smaller 69 kWh batteries and front-wheel drive.
- There is an extra 31-liter front boot.
- The rear hatch limits headroom, and the view out of the rear window is limited.
- The rear seating area has ample shoulder and legroom.
- Upfront, the C40 is the same as an XC40, featuring comfortable seats, a good driving position, and a logically laid-out dashboard.
- The dashboard has back-lit trim, mirroring the contour maps of northern Sweden.
- The car is equipped with a new operating system developed with Google.
- The heater controls are on the touchscreen and are a little small.
- The driving experience is dominated by the twin electric motors' power.
- The car has a limited top speed of 112 miles per hour.
- The steering is light, and the ride is comfortable with potholes and poorly surfaced roads easily smoothed away.
- There is plenty of body lean when driving around corners, which makes the car feel a little vague.
- The C40 is bristling with safety technology: automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring with braking, and alerts for cross-traffic and rear collisions.
- It's excellent and roomy, reasonably efficient, and rides well, but it is difficult to find where it fits into the market.
- The cheaper, lower-powered, single-motor models steer the car better.
- It's likely better value in lower-spec versions with less power.
