Anyone got one? Experiences? I’m now worried it may be a bit underpowered, but hoping I’m mistaken...

It’s a T4 recharge R design in Glacier silver 😍 beautiful car, very excited. Will be my first Volvo.

It all depends on what you’re used with. Just compare 0-60 mph acceleration between your current car and XC40 Recharge. T4 is 8.2 sec, whereas T5 is 7.0 sec.

Thanks. When fully charged it is fine, my concern is more when it’s got no charge left on longer journeys and only has 120ish ponies 🤣 I’m sure it will be fine, just haven’t seen many in-depth reviews for the T4 recharge ☺️

Even when battery is depleted, electric motor will continue to function with electricity generated by the engine. So you’ll always have full power when needed, no matter if the battery is charged or not.

Hi step, mine is already in stock as I have bought the showroom model. I am changing jobs and giving back a company car so needed one sooner rather than later!
