An Electric Battle
It's no secret that Tesla has introduced many innovations in the electric driving industry.
But, Volvo has been making great strides to introduce its own take on the electric market. The all-new Volvo XC40 brings you rich Scandinavian design and a sporty exterior, meaning if you don't enjoy the look of the Tesla Model Y, then a new XC40 might be better suited for you.
When it comes to power, the new Volvo XC40 Recharge pulls ahead. With the power of two impressive batteries, the new XC40 Recharge achieves 402 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque and a 0-60 time of just 4.7 seconds.
The Tesla Model Y only produces 384 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque.
Volvo reminds us that you can have both performance and efficiency wrapped up in one package.
Volvo is also backed by several more years of tradition and reliability in comparison to Tesla. All new Volvo models offer an unlimited mileage powertrain warranty on all Certified by Volvo models. Tesla only provides a pre-owned warranty on the Model S for only 50K miles. Volvo provides added peace of mind to your investment, so while you save on gas throughout the year, you also gain support that Volvo is there to keep you on the road for longer.
Come on down to Smothers European to experience for yourself the mere power of the 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge.
