Volvo EX40 Electric - Great Driving Experience with Room for Feature Upgrades
I switched to my new Volvo EX40 in November 2024 and it's been a fantastic introduction to the EV world. The car delivers strong performance with instant acceleration and a whisper-quiet drive. Features like park assist, auto brake, 360-degree camera, and comprehensive safety systems make city driving and tight parking effortless. The range is decent for daily use, and the availability of multiple AC charging locations in Singapore adds to the convenience.
That said, the EX40 does have some areas that could be improved. The cabin doesn't quite feel premium for its price tag, and the rear seat has a transmission hump that affects passenger comfort. The infotainment system feels a bit barebones - it only supports wired Apple and Android CarPlay, lacks a heads-up display, and the sound system is fairly average. Features like ventilated seats, an improved wireless charger, auto speed limiter, and driving journal are missing or not yet enabled for the Singapore market.
Overall, it's a solid EV with excellent driving dynamics and safety features, but there's definitely scope to enhance its tech and interior refinement.... Read More
