Most Helpful Review

Volvo C40 Recharge E80

The driving experience was top-notch. This car is a paradise for driving lovers. Looks are stunning and can attract all other travelers on the road. Best class and comfort in this segment.

Sportback after 7000 kms

It is a flashy car and you will get the best looks in this price range but mileage and features will be a tradeoff for the sporty looks. Not even a 360 camera at this price. City mileage sometimes drops to pathetic levels as low as 6.5 kmpl. The drive feel is good and acceleration and stability at high speeds are impressive.
