CarTell take
We haven't driven the XC40 yet. On paper, pure-electric buyers must now shop the rebadged EX40 separately. Rear-seat headroom is tighter than X1 or GLA for taller adults, so test fit before committing.
Why consider it
- Google built-in infotainment is the usability benchmark in the small luxury SUV segment, and the Recharge T5 PHEV delivers 81 km WLTP EV range from a single charge.
What to know
- 5-year warranty trails the 7-year Korean luxury rivals, and Recharge T5 braked towing is capped at 1,500 kg.
Who it suits
Urban families and PHEV daily drivers who want Scandinavian cabin design with Google built-in infotainment. The Plus B4 is the sensible entry; the Recharge T5 is the one to chase if you can charge at home.
