Compare our new Volvo XC40 Recharge to the competition here at Volvo Cars Orange County

Are you in the market for a new car near Anaheim Hills and Irvine? If so, you should definitely check out the new Volvo XC40 Recharge. This all-electric luxury crossover has been a staple on our showroom floor for years now, and it's a great fit for shoppers who're looking to step into the electric vehicle market. However, while the new Volvo XC40 Recharge ranks among the most attractive new EVs on the market today, it still has plenty of rivals to contend with. So, if you're interested in learning more about this all-electric powerhouse, feel free to read on to see how it stacks up to segment rivals like the VW ID.4, Toyota bZ4X, and even the Tesla Model Y.

The Volvo XC40 Recharge vs. the Volkswagen ID.4

There's a wealth of categories of comparison between the new Volvo XC40 Recharge and the Volkswagen ID.4, but perhaps the best place to start is the power that both models offer. With up to 402 horsepower at its disposal, the new Volvo XC40 Recharge is the clear victor in that category. In fact, it can even accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a scant 4.7 seconds. By comparison, opting for the new Volkswagen ID.4 will only net you roughly 295 horsepower, so it'll lag behind on acceleration when cruising around the greater Fullerton area.

In addition, you'll also want to consider the EV range that both models offer, and once again, that's a category in which the new Volvo XC40 Recharge excels. With an EPA-estimated 223 miles of all-electric range, this EV is great for daily drives around Huntington Beach, but it's more than well-equipped for distance driving throughout California as well. However, the standard EV range of the new Volkswagen ID.4 leaves a lot to be desired. With just 201 miles of all-electric range, you'll need to stop off more often to charge up with the VW ID.4 than you normally would with the new Volvo XC40 Recharge.

The Volvo XC40 Recharge vs. the Toyota bZ4X

As a new Volvo EV dealer serving shoppers from all over Santa Ana, we know that many of our guests are concerned about the time it takes to charge EVs like the new Volvo XC40 Recharge. Fortunately, you won't have worry with this EV on your side. With the ability to charge the majority of its battery in just 37 minutes' time, the new Volvo XC40 Recharge can easily be charged while you're out running errands. By comparison, if you opt for the new Toyota bZ4X, it can take up to an hour to charge the majority of its battery when equipped with its available all-wheel drive system.

Additionally, when it comes to the tech offerings these two models can afford you, the new Volvo XC40 Recharge offers a more robust suite of features. Thanks to its Google-based infotainment system, the new Volvo XC40 Recharge features support for everything from the Google Voice Assistant to the Google Maps and a myriad of other commonly used apps. With the Toyota bZ4X, you'll have to make do with its infotainment system, which lacks Google-based technology and must make do for connectivity through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Volvo XC40 Recharge vs. the Tesla Model Y

Perhaps one of the most distinctive features of the new Volvo XC40 Recharge is the innovative storage options it offers within its cabin. This electrified luxury crossover is built with storage for everything in mind, including door pockets that can comfortably hold purses and laptops, discrete hanging hooks for dry cleaning and grocery bags, and even a center console that's large enough for a box of tissues with an integrated wastebin. You won't find such innovative storage solutions with the Tesla Model Y, even though it offers a bit more in the way of cargo space behind its second row than that of the Volvo XC40 Recharge.

Additionally, the new Volvo XC40 Recharge embraces a more eco-friendly approach to luxury car design. With features like partially recycled carpeting and a fully leather-free interior, the Volvo XC40 Recharge proves that you can choose a more sustainable vehicle without sacrificing premium features and luxury. By comparison, the new Tesla Model Y simply can't compare to the interior sophistication of the new Volvo XC40 Recharge.

Plus, when it comes to acceleration, the new Volvo XC40 Recharge is a bit quicker than the Tesla Model Y. With a quicker 0 to 60 mph time, the Volvo XC40 Recharge is much more engaging to drive than its Tesla rival. So, if you're looking for a new EV that you can truly enjoy to the fullest, choose the Volvo XC40 Recharge.
