Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The C40 Recharge, despite sharing much of its mechanical bits and interior design with the XC40 Recharge, is an all-new model for the Volvo lineup.

Pros
Peppy acceleration,
stylish inside and out,
clever interior storage solutions.

Cons
Sloped roof creates big blind spots,
quirky infotainment interface,
driving range isn't groundbreaking.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Powerful dual-motor setup will likely provide impressive acceleration
Stylish exterior design
Sleek interior with impressive list of standard features

Cons
Sloping rear roof makes for limited rear headroom
Online-only purchasing limits availability

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Looks great on the outside…
…and on the inside
Blistering electric performance

Cons
Terrible rear visibility
Not particularly fun to drive
Other electric SUVs have better range

The 2019 Audi RS 3 comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 7-speed automated manual.Minor adjustments to package features.Fixed sport suspension now available as stand-alone option.

Pros
Potent acceleration and heaps of traction
Well-trimmed cabin
Enough practicality to serve everyday use
Attractive, easy-to-use infotainment system

Cons
Snug back seat and small cargo area
Ride quality might be too firm for casual drivers
Front seats sit too high for tall occupants
Some driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise, are optional

Overall, an excellent car, even considering the high price given the size. It has a well-rounded set of features, and when performance is taken into account, some would even argue that it is good value for money. Definitely well worth a drive!

pros
Excellent power and performance;
Five-cylinder exhaust sound is unique;
Interior fit and finish typical high Audi quality;
Chuckability around tight roads;
Sharp looks both inside and out

Cons
Turbo lag (which may be a pro for some!);
Transmission logic in Comfort mode;
Software bugs in engine and transmission control units;
Lack of electric seat adjustability;
No puddle lights

By:

Pros
Awesome turbo five-cylinder,
planted yet playful chassis,
lovely cabin.

Cons
More engine noise please,
big price for a small car,
cramped back seat.
