I am seriously considering buying a digital rearview mirror for my C40 with the new $495 installation promo. Problem is that I have a FitCamX front and rear camera.
Is anyone aware of compatibility issues? Is it possible to have both?
This is probably a foolish question...
I love my c40 (2022 C40 Ultimate) but the harsh suspension can get bothersome on broken midwest pavement to the point that my wife is now complaining - and she would probably have me drive an Ioniq 5 to match her Sante Fe - eh, no.. The roads where I live are truly horrible and I should have bought an off-roader to handle our roads!
Anyway.. I thinking of changing tires to Hookook Ion Evo AS tires to aid in comfort and I went down the rabbit hole of looking at 18" rims or 19" but most rims look like garbage and then there is that will it, won't it fit question?
So, I'm wondering if anyone has ever contemplated replacing the shocks with something more tunable to try to get a better ride feel? I'm not sure if that is even possible with this car but I ask the question as I did a complete suspension change out on my over-landing Sprinter van (but that was a whole different proposition).
Is this a fools game? Thoughts?
Has anyone used the suction style bike mounts? I don’t have a tow hitch and I think it might be my only option, but they scare me.
Has anyone bought this accessory and what is the cost of it?
Hopefully in Australian dollars.
Was there a noticeable reduction in heat/cold?
We got a great deal and we're absolutely thrilled!!
Dealer is offering g to install digital rearview mirror for $495. This should solve one of the more unsafe aspects of this car’s design. $495 is really cheap, but I think it should actually be a recall item.
Rock hit my car on highway. Best place to replace? Cost?
I have a 2023 C40 Recharge and just got a notice from Volvo about getting the digital rear view mirror installed for $495 (I’m in Chicago.) Does anyone have experience with this? Glitches to look out for? My C40 has the small rear window and this would be a big plus.

^(Good deal? For those that have it, how is it?)
Been a few weeks of this odd behavior. Range estimation is all over the place and changes randomly. For example I started at 400km @ 100% SOC. I drove 2 km, went down to 99%, range went down to 380 km.
Left the car locked for about 30 minutes and when I came back, SOC was 95% at 370 km estimated range. Drove about 15 km and i sat at 93% SOC with 380 km of range.
Left the car alone for 1.5 hours and when I got back, 90% SOC @ 300 km of range, pictured above.
Drove a bit and now I sit at 330km @90% SOC.
Absolutely imposible to understand what is going on. I’ve tried charging all the way to 100% to reset things, but nothing is working so far.
2023 C40 Single Front Motor, bought new in 2024.
Does anyone have any experience with the Michelin CrossClimate 2’s on their C40? Ive read elsewhere online that we can expect a dip in range, do you have any idea how much range we would loose from personal experience? We currently have a set on a Mazda CX9 and it handles like a tank in the Minnesota winters. Looking to get something similar on the C40. Open to other recommendations too for any good EV tires that handle well in the snow.
Hey everyone
I have a great offer to buy a CPO C40. Only one catch. I haven’t test driven it and am 6’5 270 pounds and the closest dealer for a test drive is 4 hours away. I’ve had trouble finding a comfortable EV because most of them have annoyingly bolstered seats or are overly cramped upfront. I did test drive a gas XC-40 today which I’ve been told is similar. Any tall and larger drivers have any input? Any chance I’ll be disappointed when I try it out? Thanks!
Gotta play the lottery, this never happens and now twice in 24 hours. Hello there Gray!
Went to the grocery store and someone with an XC40 Recharge parked directly in front of my car. Felt like a reunion for them lol.
I have an ICE Volvo also, but have not used it in a while. Using the c40 solely now. Work from home.
Is the heat pump supposed to be this loud? I didn't think so, but I took it to the dealer and they claimed it was normal. I'm skeptical.
Have a 2023 c40. First EV. DIY’ed a (fixed) towbar install today. First time working on an EV.
Got all parts OEM, as one should.
Volvo instructions were simple, color coded, dealt with each part removal separately.
NO GREASE. I never want to work on a ICE car ever again. The dirtiest I got was the tire removal/reinstall.
Big props to Volvo again for the prerouted wiring.
The hitch and wiring connector are above the undercarriage - so streamlined!
Off to the dealer for software install this week- looked into the VIDA 3day subscription to do it myself, but seems a bit much effort.
Love my c40! Really looking forward to taking the teardrop out soon!
About 3mm deep at the deepest part, I’m wondering how cosmetic / dangerous it is
Any Volvo employees lurking here who might be able to offer a number or a guess on how many 2024 C40 or XC40 recharge sold in the US with the woolen interior?
Even formally working at a dealer, I only saw the wool twice in two years…
I desperately want to get my hands on a 2024 C40 with wool interior (hopefully coming off lease?) and CPO. I’d even take an XC40 if I could get the wool
I very nearly spec ordered one at the time… I wish I had. If the OSD program had been available on EV’s, I likely would have pulled the trigger.
I’m very worried the car I want is an absolute unicorn or damn near it. Any idea how many of these vehicles left the factory with the recycled wool interior?
We have been driving the car a lot since buying it two weeks ago. A good mix of highway and urban driving (Queens NY). So far the range has been great, I was a little concerned with the stated range but I’m actually seeing better real world results. We had a Honda prologue with over “300”miles of range. The estimate was always very optimistic, realistically I would say the prologue was incorrect by 10-15% consistently.
