Volvo EX40
Thanks to ongoing tweaks, the Volvo EX40 is standing up well to the ravages of time.
The Volvo EX40 is every bit as impressive and useable as its XC40 Recharge predecessor - unsurprising, really, as they’re the same car bar the badge. As with the EC40, the switch to a rear-wheel-drive layout for the single motor versions has made for better efficiency and longer range on one charge, and the addition of an optional 79kWh battery has stretched the potential range beyond 500km. A handsome car inside and out and satisfying to drive, though the dual-motor version is, frankly, over-powered.
