This high-up seating sensation makes the C40 feel a bit larger than it really is. This could well be a side effect of the battery pack sited below the cabin. The battery pack seems to impinge on boot volume as well. As a result the loading area is quite high up. However, there is also a storage area or 'frunk' (for front trunk) that can hold luggage as well. Volvo claims 404 litres of combined storage. AWD EV The Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Motor has the same drive-off procedure as other products in the Volvo EV line-up. Once you are inside the car with the key, you simply select 'drive' on the spring-loaded selector and tickle the go pedal. When your trip is over you press the 'P' (for park) button on the console and that's it. There is no start/stop button, there isn't even a parking brake to engage. Volvo's 'one-pedal' driving mode allows one to use just the accelerator for daily driving. The high levels of retardation take a little getting used to but become second nature a few days in.
