This 2023 Volvo XC40 Ultimate is a fully electric vehicle that comes with the peace of mind of being Volvo manufacturer approved. Having had only one owner from new, this four wheel drive model represents a well maintained example of the premium compact SUV. It is powered by a 78 kWh battery, which offers a range of 273 miles when new. Charging is flexible, with a full charge at home using a 7kW charger taking 12 hours, while a rapid public charger can boost the battery from empty to 80 percent in just 40 minutes. The driving experience is defined by impressive performance, as the vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 4.5 seconds. Practicality is a key strength, with a large boot space that provides plenty of room for luggage or shopping. Comfort is prioritised through features such as heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, while the inclusion of Pilot Assist and adaptive cruise control helps to reduce driver fatigue on longer journeys. Visibility is enhanced by automatic LED headlights with active high beam and day running lights, and the cabin includes the convenience of wireless mobile phone charging to keep devices powered without the need for cables.
