If you’re sold on the looks and can accept the practicality penalties of the Volvo C40, it stacks up well compared with its immediate competition, especially on performance. It’s also a refined and pleasant electric car to drive, justifying its premium billing.

Entry-level Core comes with 19in alloy wheels, LED headlights, rear parking sensors, cruise control, a powered tailgate, a 9in touchscreen infotainment system powered by Google and a 12.3in digital instrument panel for the driver.
