Ciro De Siena

10 Aug 2022

Volvo has been leading the electric charge in many ways in SA. First with hybrids, then plug-ins and now we have the R1.2 million XC40 P8. It’s an all-electric SUV with the performance figures to outrun a Golf R to 100kph.

In this video, Ciro reviews the XC40 against other electric options as well as the all-important issue of charging, infrastructure and possible problems you may run into such as loadshedding.

Practicality and spec are going to be important in a car that costs this much, so what makes the Volvo XC40 special, if anything?

Is this the most Volvo-like Volvo on sale at the moment?
