VOLVO C40 RECHARGE TWIN
Slippery slope

FOR Drives calmly and has a very zen interior
AGAINST This mightily powerful launch version is a touch OTT
Volvo making a coupefied crossover was surely inevitable. What’s possibly less inevitable is the fact that the supremely logically named C40 – it’s an XC40 with some of the ruggedness grated off – is purely electric. It helps hammer home the fact half of the Scandi firm’s sales will be EVs by 2025, but Volvo’s surely wilfully sacrificing sales in the meantime by not simply transplanting the XC40’s internal combustion options into its more svelte sibling.
