![]() Volvo quotes a 0-to-60-mph time of 4.7 seconds, nearly 1.5 seconds quicker than the 252-hp XC40 T5 AWD. ![]() It uses the same pair of electric motors as the Polestar 2, which pump out a total of 402 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque, slightly less than the Polestar. While the XC40 Recharge is familiar to look at and sit in, the driving experience is much improved over the gas-powered models. And sadly, Volvo got rid of the 2021 model's available Lava Orange carpets. ![]() I wish the Recharge at least got unique trim pieces or a different available color scheme, like the cool backlit trim and leather-free upholstery of the C40 Recharge. The upholstery is a nice mix of real nappa leather and suede with white stitching and piping, and Volvo's seats continue to be some of the best in the business. The Recharge has the same all-black interior as the regular XC40's R-Design trim, save for the lack of a start button - just get in the car with the key on you and it automatically turns on, then put the gear selector in drive and you're off. Under the hood is a frunk that has a plastic cover, but it's pretty tiny and can really only fit a small backpack or the car's charging cables. The only no-cost color option is black, with metallic paints like my car's Thunder Grey costing $695. That's fine by me the XC40 is by far the best looking crossover in its class, especially in the Recharge-exclusive Sage Green. A blocked-off grille, lack of exhaust tips and a couple new wheel designs are the only things that visually differentiate the Recharge from a regular XC40.
