I love this SUV, but the range is not the best. Volvo claims 240 miles but you are not supposed to charge 100% which brings that down. When it is around freezing the battery drains quickly. How can Tesla and other car companies get over 300 miles? It is great if you are driving short distance. When you drive on the open road longer distances the charge goes away quicker than in stop … and go traffic. The C40 is FAST and has no trouble getting on tight entrance/exit ramps or passing cars on expressways. Navigation is a breeze with voice control and the option to put the map on the front display. The seats are comfortable and the SUV looks great. I just wish it would get more miles on a charge or Volvo would develop an update to increase range. If you plan on driving short distances and charging the C40 at home, you will like this SUV. If you need it for trips 50 miles or more, I would recommend going with a car company that knows how to make more efficient batteries or until there are more charging stations. If you do not need a lot of range than this is a fantastic and fun SUV.
