Volvo C40 2023
Carsguide Head of Editorial Justin Hilliard had this to say at the time: Is the C40 Recharge Twin Motor an EV that I'd personally buy? I say forget that – it's a car that I would have on my shortlist. Yes, its $83,490 (plus on-road costs) MY23 price is high, but its blend of practicality, performance and comfort suits me – and maybe you – really well. That said, I'd still choose to spend $2000 less and get the XC40 Recharge Twin Motor, which is the same EV, albeit with a more traditional wagon body-style that is even more practical and, in my opinion, better looking. You can't really go wrong, though, so it's really easy to see why both of Volvo's all-electric small SUVs have sold so well since they launched. Charging stations aren't just full of Teslas in 2023, after all. Farewell, friend.

The 2023 Volvo C40 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
