Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video: - The XC40 Recharge Twin Motor features a curb-side presence and premium features. - The MSRP is $85,990 before on-road costs. - It is priced in the middle of its nearest rivals but has a price hike of $23,000 from its fuel-based equivalent. - It comes with a panoramic sunroof, heated and electric front seats, heated rear outboard seats, and a heated steering wheel. - It has a premium Harman Kardon sound system. - The front has a body-colored panel instead of a standard grill and 20-inch alloys. - Recycled and non-leather material use has been used for the upholstery. - The interior is considered basic in comparison to the fuel-based equivalent. - The synthetic trim seats are neat but very hard, making them uncomfortable for longer journeys. - The directional air vents, reading lights, USB-C ports, heated outboard seats, and fall-down armrest have been added to amenities. - Its features include an isofix child seat mount, top tethers, a level load space, a large well for groceries, and a powered tailgate. - 31 liters of extra front storage is available for cable storage. - Its official energy consumption is 19kWh per 100 km, achieving a 0-100 km time in 4.8 seconds. - There is no ignition button; it turns on by putting it into drive. - The ride comfort is limited due to a firm suspension and high road noise. - The regenerative braking is uncustomizable and hard to feel. - It excels in parking with its size, 11-meter turning circle, 360-degree view camera, and front and rear parking sensors. - Safety features, especially its side-impact protection system, reinforce the car and disperse energy to other parts in a collision. - The test showed the car’s five-star ANCAP safety rating and excellent adult and child occupant protection scores. - It has a five-year unlimited kilometer warranty and an eight-year battery warranty. - A flat-rate servicing program of $3,000 is offered but is considered expensive. - The vehicle gets a 7.5 out of 10 rating overall.
