TAKK for god gjennomgang. Og takk for at du som norsk reporter behersker amerikansk/engelsk så glimrende 👍 Det setter verden pris på.
I tested it in december and got 220-230 km of range in temperatures around +1 C, rain and 110 km/h speeds, so I'm not surprised seeing your numbers. It's a decent first attempt from Volvo, but it simply will not do. I also had trouble with voice navigation where I could say the same thing repeatedly and it would only understand it one out of three attempts.
Nice test! Very thirsty, but for me it would still be fine. I'm used to my BMW i3S with about 200-230km range.
Btw, same car (I checked the plates) as Björn tested! :D
Love that XC40 Electric !!!! Hope you can make a video like the E-tron doing '' off - roading '' on snow :=)
Greetings from Barcelona XD
Love your videos from India
Thanks!
and we have it in our garage
Volvo 4 life’ not too shabby for their first full electric ⚡️ car
Volvo4Life!
The funny thing her is that this is the exact same car as Bjørn was testing. Good video!
Right, but now the bonnet is closed correctly 🤪
@@borama7845 yes still very thirsty even with the closed hood 😁
@@LauriLaipio 🤣 👍
Imagine when he finds out there’s another Norwegian you tuber doing almost exactly the same as him!
These guys work together ... at least from time to time.
A 195 km range under those winter conditions. Hmm! Where I live it is quite common during the winter to experience the temps - and lower - you tested under. The nearest city to me, and a city many of my fellow residents drive to to visit family, friends, etc. is about 700 km's away. So, with that range you would have to charge up 3 times to make that drive. You had better pack a lunch because it's going to be a long day!
I've seen Tesla charging stations in my area where they have notices on them stating that they do not work below -30 degrees Celsius. I guess you had better book a motel along the way because you could be stranded before you reach your destination. I think I'll stick with my old internal combustion engine. I may burn some gas, but at least I'll get there!
it's exactly the same powertrain as a polestar2, and it's heavier and less efficient as a SUV, so it must more thirsty than a Polestar 2, it's quite a normal thing hence volvo try to protect the battery pack which made the car so heavy, one thing I concerned is that is the P8 without auto-hold function in non one-pedal mode
If your XC40 P8 has a heat pump and when you navigate to a HPC, e.g. Ionity, Volvo will start preheating the battery ca. 15min before you get there. Then you can achieve 135kw (peak) at HPC.
Do you have a source for this? 😊
@@KrisRifa My XC40 P8 dealer here in Finland :D and also some of the Finnish P8 drivers have proven this to be correct. When they have arrived to a HPC without navigating there, they end up with max ~70kW even if the SOC is below 20% at the start. Still waiting my own P8...
@@MrT_PityTheFuelHeads Thanks :)
@@KrisRifa Is there a source for a round earth?
@@KrisRifa yes there is an option for heat pump in Canada as well
I have this car. Got on December 4 soon driven 4000 kilometers in just over a month. The car is amazing. But it's thirsty. Heavy SUV 4x4 with 408 horsepower. I have come 270 kilometers on full battery this winter with 20 inch tires. Then with minus 6 degrees Celsius. Now with minus 20 degrees Celsius, it goes 200 kilometers. In summer it does another 400 kilometers. Hope Volvo comes with battery heating and that Volvo buys in so we get cheap fast charging. Everyone who sells electric cars has bought into a company. The car is very good to drive. A luxury car.
Interesting how somewhat unpredictable this car is other than it is very thirsty. I live in USA where temps are almost always of 0C and most of the year temps are 4-33C. that 194km range is 120 US Miles, that is rather limited, but still ok for me as long as I keep it charged every day. Also most of my driving would be under 90km/hr so hopefully that would help/
I ordered this very car in 27/12/2021, good thing that I live in Brazil, so here maybe I can expect a bit better range.
The average temperature in my city (Recife-PE) is 21 to 27°C in the winter and 23° to 30°C in the summer.
I think it has Pilot Assist, you just need to select it so it's not only adaptive cruise control (same way as in "normal" Volvo)
It doesn’t have it... Volvo have confirmed it doesn’t have Pilot Assist or Adaptive cruise.
@@KrisRifa It does have it.... at least mine does. Also has adaptive cruise control. www.volvocars.com/en-ca/support/manuals/xc40-recharge-pure-electric/2020w37/driver-support/pilot-assist/pilot-assist
Not very cold, but it gives me an idea of what to expect during milder weather in the winter. Excellent video! Thank-you!
So is the audi q4 etron better in winter?
Hi Kris, Kindly do a range test of 100% to 0% SOC on motorway speed on XC40 P6 Single Motor car and share the results on your channel. Not a single car reviewer has done this test and everyone is focusing on P8 Twin motor.
Does this car have a heat pump? I know that it is optional including in Norway, which is very strange. In the US, it is like a $500 USD option, 655 Euros in Germany and 5,200 NOK in Norway, which seems ridiculous given the price of the car. It should be standard along with pro pilot.
Hi Kris. Thank you for this interesting video of one of my favorite car. On my test drive with one pedal driving I had the same high consumtion, 33kw/h for 50km with normal driving (80km/h & 110km/h) at 6 degrees! Is there perhaps a different of consumtion by driving with/without one pedal driving? Best regards from switzerland, Hans
Thanks! I think one pedal driving is the most economic because of regen
@@KrisRifa When doing cruise control one pedal drive has a higher consumption for some reason. at least what i was told by a volvo mechanic.
I'm surprised how thirsty it is at least the charging curve isn't that bad
Kris is also driving it around 120-124. It's not ideal for consumption (nor legal Kris!)
Because of bad aerodynamics (large front area and boxy shape) it is also punished harder @ higher speeds (as in multiplicative, not additive).
Good video Kris, makes me happy I specced mine with heatpump!
My google home responded to you.. could not find it either 😂
Haha!
@@KrisRifa You may find this funny, but I don't. I was watching this clip at 3 am last night (with very low volume). Everyone else in the house, wife and grandkids, were fast asleep when my Google Home mistakenly misinterpreted your command and started playing some kind of music. We had the Google Home set up at high volume and guess what happened? Everyone in the house woke up. Every CZcamsr should mute the "Hey Google" in their videos! Almost noone does though... At least, put up a warning in advance that you will potentially trigger our Google Home if we watch the video.
Don’t forget that this is Volvos first fully electric car! The efficiency is expected to improve with over the air software updates. Also, with battery technology always getting better, with new models the battery will probably also be improved. Cut Volvo some slack. Great video btw!
You can say same thing with other car companies.
@@edgy21 Yes
Great video! Do you know if volvo will retrofit the center infotainment screen of the P8 to older volvos?
The new Infotainment in the XC40 recharge and Polestar 2 is pure android. All the other SPA/CMA-platform cars are sensus-based so retrofitting won´t be possible as the software in older ones won´t support it.
In the norwegian Volvo manual for the P8 they say 140 kw charching speed, not 150 kw. Why are You tolking about 150 kw charging speed?
150kW is what Volvo are claiming:
www.volvocars.com/no/v/cars/xc40-electric
Med den farta tipper jeg du ligger 30-50% høyere enn optimalt. NAF har testet den samme bilen til rett over 300 km på norsk vinter.
Forstår enda mindre av dette forbruket nå. Kjøpte meg en klin lik bil for en uke siden, den er kjørt fra Skjærhalden til Hugulia og tilbake. To mennesker i bilen, to hunder, fullastet baksete. Takgrind med skiboks, alt av komfort slått på. Kuldegrader, snø og is. Snittforbruk ble på 24kw/100km.
With regards to the PilotPro not being available on this car; could it be that it has been removed by Volvo for MY21? Jaguar removed it from all of their cars as well following changes in safety regulations. It seems however that not all manufacturers have disabled their lane centring functionality for MY21, it may depend on how conservative their legal departments are.
Kris it would be great if you could enquire with Volvo if it wasn't available because they have removed it from their range
I was told that the Polestar 2 and the Volvo XC40 P8 use a different supplier than the Pilot Assist system in the regular Volvo's
@@RoaldHemel35 hope so for Volvos sake, because the Polestar one is the by far worst I've ever tried.
Volvo have told me that it was blunder with the order....
Kris Did the car have heatpump ?
I believe it does!
@@KrisRifa supoesdly sw for battery heatpump conditioning is not ready yet, heard anything?
Hej från Sverige!
Varför kör du så fort? Mer än 10 km/h över hastighetsbegränsningen…
Då går det ju åt mer el.
My google assistance was responding.
8:30 fy faen
I like your reviews, but driving at 125 km/h (speed limit 100) while filming and demonstrating the use of buttons is really not good if you want to appear as a serious car tester!
Using your left hand to guide us through the buttons on the right of the steering wheel, while using your right hand to record with your phone... at 120kmh? Darwin will catch you eventually.
Nice compact crossover, but more thirstier than a full-size SUV Audi e-tron 60 S
Yeah, I know....
No range slightly noisy cabin, regenerating breaking is too strong. I was really was waiting for something better with all the advertisements 🤕
*Risen* not rised
Thanks 🙈😂
Emperors new clothes, I'd say.
Way too much money, for too short driving range.
Embarrassing, Volvo.
Car wow is so annoying at the start !!
If Volvo uses the same pilot assist as Polestar, it's no wonder why they disabled it on the press car. Probably the most useless and dangerous pilot assist-system I've ever tried.
The Volvo EV sucks in winter driving.. it is just that simple! Well, the range is pathetic even in warm weather driving. I guess if you strictly drive around in the city you will be ok.
