Volvo C40 Review
Taking inspiration form it's previous models, Volvo have launched their first all-electric SUV crossover, combining classic looks with comfort and engaging driving.
Volvo’s all-electric C40 Recharge takes the regular XC40 Recharge SUV and puts a unique, eye-catching spin on things.
The C40 Recharge has a more swooping, coupe-like exterior than the XC40 Recharge, and it sits 70mm lower, too, giving it a more sporty, dynamic look.

A 78kWh battery supplies power to two motors, which drive both the front and rear wheels.
You can enjoy a range of around 274 miles between charges, and the battery can be replenished from 0-80% full in just 28 minutes via 150 kW rapid charging.
The C40 has a 0-62mph time of just 7.4 seconds. With zero emissions at the tailpipe, business lease customers will also reap the rewards of 2% Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax.
The interior oozes Scandinavian style. There’s an innovative infotainment system that has been jointly developed with Google and which is based on the Android operating system.
A large, panoramic glass roof has been specifically designed to show off any mountainous landscapes you happen to be passing through on your own personal grand tour.
Even the backlit translucent graphics on the dashboard and front door panels have been designed to ape Sweden’s mountainous Abisko National Park.
The C40 Recharge’s cabin also features renewable wool fibres as well as carpets created from 100% recycled PET plastic bottles.

In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
Ian was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the process. Despite me being a novice to car leasing, and changing vehicles halfway through, it was still a trouble free experience. Would recommend, and use again.
Jim was easy to work with and I got the vehicle I requested. Hand over was easy and the delivery driver spent time explaining all the cars functions. Communication was good throughout the process.
Voytek Kowalczyk in particular made this process really painless. I had quotes put out in the market to over a dozen brokers (for this company car lease). There was only one quote that came in cheaper than Select but it came eight days too late (after I signed the Select papers off). On detailed examination it turned out to be £97 cheaper over three years instead of the £535 that appeared initially. This is because even if their monthly charge was £15 cheaper, the initial payment was £428 higher - assuming zero interest acrual on the £428. Voytek is a great communicator and, though clearly busy, keep me posted on the progress. The experience so far has been great. Will return to this review when I renew in three years, to state how that has been.
