Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Could be the perfect ‘first EV’
- Much better Continental tyres
- Loaded with standard equipment
Misses
- Interior is a bit quirky
- Best colours axed in favour of black
- Warranty has lots of caveats
Colours Available
The XC40 is available in the following colours:
- Black Stone solid
- Sage Green metallic (new)
- Fjord Blue metallic (new)
- Silver Dawn metallic (new)
- Bright Dusk metallic (new)
- Onyx Black metallic
- Crystal White pearl
- Fusion Red metallic
- Thunder Grey metallic
Metallic shades are a $1200 option on all petrol models, but are a no-cost option on electric models.
Currently Australian-delivered BYD ATTO 3s are available in white by default with a $700 option to upgrade to Grey or Blue.
Red and Green are available in other markets and may find themselves here in the future.
