The C40 may look like style over substance, but there's plenty to like about this 300kW EV crossover. Unusually, an update is already coming.

James Wong
Marketplace Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Punchier than every similarly-priced rival
- Big car feel in a compact package
- Well featured, no cost options
Misses
- Range is decent but efficiency is not
- 20-inch rims make for a firm urban ride
- XC40 is the more practical choice
