2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge long-term review: The road trip

There’s something satisfying about reaching the outskirts of Sydney and seeing a fuel consumption reading of 0.0L/100km.

Swedish brand Volvo has committed to electrifying its entire rage of vehicles by 2025, offering either full electric or plug-in hybrid variants across its line-up of cars and SUVs.
