The XC40 Recharge Pure Electric starts and finishes at $76,990, plus on-road costs. This excludes additional add-ons or features.

It features the big Hammer of Thor LED headlights with washers. The front-wheel-drive version sells for $72,990. It features a smaller 69 kW battery, while a four-wheel-drive model with higher specs would cost more.

The features of this model include 20-inch alloys, a 14-speaker sound system, a 9-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, a digital dashboard, leather interior, sat-nav, Android Automotive, and a wireless charger.

It is lacking Apple CarPlay.

The interior is good and you can sync your Google account. There is also a button on the screen to find charge stations easily. As for the back, you get two USB-C ports. The boot has a good amount of space, but it's a little smaller than the gasoline model. A tire repair kit is included since there is no spare.

The XC40 Pure Recharge Electric has a 5-year unlimited-kilometer warranty and an 8-year warranty on the battery. The service intervals are two years or every 30,000 kilometers.

The range is roughly 350 kilometers on a full charge. This car features one-pedal driving. The ride can get tiring after a while on rough roads.

The steering has good weight. You can select a lighter or firmer setting and it feels good. Making the XC40 an electric car made it a better car.
