- The car can go from zero to 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour in 4.9 seconds, though it feels quicker.
- For 2022, the Volvo has done some over-the-air updates that affect older XC40 Recharge vehicles as well as new vehicles.

- Interior features include power-folding mirrors, a power-assisted rear liftgate, and a panoramic sunroof.

- The performance is excellent, the power is there and the car can handle the road well.
