Expert Reviews

The XC40 Recharge is an all-new model for Volvo this year and represents the Swedish brand's first foray into all-electric propulsion—that's if you don't count its Polestar division's new Polestar 2 EV.

Pros
Attractive styling,
peppy acceleration,
thoughtfully designed cabin.

Cons
Key rivals offer more driving range,
hefty curb weight,
much pricier than the gasoline model.

For 2021 New fully electric version of the XC40,402 horsepower,Estimated 208 miles of range.

The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric has an appealing interior, a decent electric range, rapid performance and impressive safety credentials. It’s expensive next to many rivals, but the lower-spec models stack up fairly well next to similarly premium (if often larger and, in some cases, more fun) alternatives.

Pros
High-quality interior
Rapid performance
Decent range

Cons
Expensive next to many rivals
Fiddly infotainment menus
No traditional PCP finance

The EQB is an all-new model for the Mercedes-Benz lineup and should be on sale in North America sometime this summer.

Pros
Practical interior,
brisk acceleration with upgraded powertrain,
nicely-trimmed interior.

Cons
Third row isn't very roomy,
battery takes up some cargo space,
fussy infotainment system.

By: 
caranddriver.com

In an increasingly crowded field of electric crossovers, the boxy 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB offers something refreshingly against-the-grain.

Pros
Just-right shape bridges boxy and aero
Quiet, comfortable ride
Available third-row seat
Sliding second-row seat
No sci-fi EV gimmickry

Cons
Premium price
Lower range than most rivals
Third row is tiny
Infotainment screens’ learning curve
Top active safety costs extra
