Family car review: 2021 Volvo XC40 T5 Recharge plug-in hybrid (PHEV)

Описание: Read the full review: https://babydrive.com.au/reviews/suvs...

The 2021 Volvo XC40 T5 Recharge plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is a practical and enjoyable family car for our family of four. The boot space and cabin space are ample for transporting us and the relevant equipment for two kiddies. The media system is not the orientation I enjoy using but the camera quality and Apple CarPlay mean it has everything I need.

I could fit two forward-facing or two rear-facing child seats in the outer seats really nicely but found there was not really enough room for me to squeeze between them and I'm 162cm.

The boot of the XC40 PHEV is also a practical size, holding twelve shopping bags from empty. That's the same as the VW Tiguan, one more than the Jaguar E-Pace and one more than the BMW X1 or Audi Q3.

Most enjoyable for me was using so little fuel when driving the XC40 PHEV. I loved that I was charging it using solar power and doing most of my daily driving using the electric motor and hardly using any fuel. The transition between the electric motor and engine was smooth and quiet and I could choose when I was recharging the battery when driving through the media screen.
