Verdict

The XC40 Recharge Electric sits among the pricier electric SUVs. It costs RM20,000 more than the MINI Countryman, RM4,912 less than the BMW iX2 and RM18,000 less than the Mercedes-Benz EQA, while entry alternatives begin at RM80,000. The sole P8 AWD brings 402 hp and a 78.0 kWh battery, but buyers should check its equipment list against those similarly priced European SUVs.
