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.

Great, but there's always room for improvement.

I was able to test ride it for a few KMs, performance is unmatched by anything I've driven before, and features and range are also good. There are some areas where there's room for improvement, There's a space in front of the shifter where you have to keep your phone if you want to use Android Auto/ Apple CarPlay, it's really awkward to access as it's built deep, the infotainment system has a room for a lot of improvement, it's laggy and slow to respond, and just should be better.
