To put it mildly, this has been a good year for Volvo. Exciting changes are happening across multiple aspects of Volvo's lineup, especially where e-mobility is concerned. Two vehicles, in particular-the C40 and the XC40-have been generating incredible buzz over the past year. Both vehicles offer an SUV experience that's equal parts cutting-edge and refined. That said, they come with unique strengths that make them best suited to different types of drivers.

Volvo has long been known for its high-quality vehicles. The Volvo XC40 is no exception! This car comes with plenty of features that will make you want to upgrade your current vehicle to this one. These are just a few of the interior features that come standard on the Volvo XC40:

- Bluetooth connectivity, which allows you to control certain functions from up to 30 feet away
- Heated seats and steering wheel
- Automatic tailgate lift system
- Dynamically scaled LED lights

While the 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge may be Volvo's first electric car, it's made a strong enough impression to make many drivers completely rethink their expectations of e-mobility. This triumph of engineering shows that making the switch to fully electric driving doesn't come with any trade-offs in distance, performance, or refueling time. 

To that end, let's take a look under the hood to understand why making the switch to electric is an absolute game-changer for the way that you think about driving. 

Charging at Home Means Never Having to Visit a Gas (or Charging) Station Again…

Volvo has committed to providing a hybrid or fully-electric powertrain for all of its cars, crossovers, and SUVs. This is excellent news for drivers who are looking to decrease their carbon footprint and reduce their dependence on gas-powered vehicles.  

As it stands, Volvo has a goal of having 50% of its sales volume to be electric and have one million electric Volvos on the road by the year 2025. 

Since 2019, every new Volvo car, crossover, or SUV will have an electric motor. This decision is a significant leap towards dedicating themselves to environmentally-conscious measures.

The Volvo Cars App completely transforms car ownership! 

Let's get the obvious out the way: if a car brand was JUST offering free towing for life, it would be pretty easy to draw some negative conclusions about the quality of their cars. Thankfully, this is Volvo that we're talking about. It's no secret that Volvo cars are incredibly reliable, boasting long lifespans, durable parts, and safety features that minimize risks of unexpected accidents. 

The Volvo XC40 has been lauded for its small stature and practical features. While it may seem modest compared to the other Volvo XC SUV models, it's the XC40's turn to be the shining star of the group by taking Volvo into the world of e-mobility. The plug-in hybrid model comes with major fuel benefits while still meeting the high driving quality standard and dedication to safety that Volvo is known for.

Regardless of what car you own, it can be easy to avoid thinking about your tires until something goes wrong. Unfortunately, things going wrong can be downright dangerous-and expensive too! 

While tires can be easy to neglect, keeping them in good shape is key in maximizing your new Volvo's performance, comfort, and safety. It's suggested to replace tires after six years of normal driving, although plenty of factors can shorten their lifespan.
