Been searching for my first EV and I’m down to an Audi Q4 e-tron or a Volvo XC40. I don’t make a lot of money so I’m going to have to lease instead of buy (Q4 leases about 10% cheaper than the XC40).
I’ve test driven and like both of them a lot - maybe leaning towards the Volvo just for comfort level. I like the Lightning too but dealers on Ohio won’t budge and they don’t lease well.
Anyone have any feedback on the XC40 or Q4? Pros or cons you can mention from owning one of these?
Another XC40 owner. Mechanically/physically great, software is somewhat flaky. Still forgets seat positions sometimes, backup camera takes a while to boot, etc. And as others have said, range is moderate, and suffers in the cold. Definitely a very sleek vehicle though; we rented a Bolt recently and the XC40 does feel and sound much higher quality. The Bolt does have some features I envy though: flat floors / deep trunk, memory for the lift gate height so it doesn’t crash into our cargo pod, remote start / preconditioning just from the fob without a subscription.
