The Technologies that Help the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge in Winter
January 31 2022,
Swedish winters are sometimes even colder and more demanding than the ones we experience in Canada, which is why the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge is one of the most competent electric vehicles in winter.
Efficient heating
The 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge is equipped with all of the innovations that have been made in order to improve the efficiency of electric vehicles in cold weather. For example, the Ultimate trim now comes standard with a heat pump in place of the normal resistive heater, which is more efficient and thus allows for more range even after having warmed the cabin in freezing weather. A clever solution that increases efficiency and your comfort is the ability to preheat the interior of the XC40 Recharge from your phone. Similar to a traditional remote starter, this feature will endure you will never have to step inside a cold vehicle again. The best part however is that it can be used when the vehicle is still plugged in to a charger in order to use grid electricity and reserve the battery power for when you set off, thus giving you the maximum range.
A very safe vehicle
The 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge makes use of the brand’s decades of experience as a leader in automotive safety to propose a large number of features and systems engineered to make it one of the safest vehicles on the road. The XC40 Recharge comes standard with the forward collision alert, which can detect a collision before it happens and give you enough time to avoid it in all situations. In addition, the stability control system combined with the added traction and safety of the standard AWD powertrain give you confidence on slippery roads by ensuring the XC40 Recharge behaves predictably in every situation, no matter if you are driving on pure ice or on solid tarmac.
