WE MAY BE in the depths of winter, but that didn’t stop me from giving my XC40 Recharge a spring clean recently – something that was made considerably easier by the fact that the rubber mats that line its centre console cubby, cupholders and large front storage area can all be removed for washing. This is particularly handy if something has melted in them or there’s been a spillage. The mini rubbish bin in the console also comes out to make it easier to empty – another thoughtful touch.
