The EX40 runs purely on electricity. Energy use sits around 16-18 kWh/100 km on the WLTP cycle, with combined ranges from roughly 477 km on the base single-motor to 575 km on longer-range versions. Fast DC charging takes the battery from 10-80% in about 26-28 minutes.
Servicing is simpler than on petrol cars. Intervals are typically every two years or 18,000-20,000 miles. Checks cover brakes, cabin filter, tyres, high-voltage system and software. No oil changes are needed.
Safety kit is extensive as standard. It includes automatic emergency braking that detects vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and large animals, lane-keeping aid, blind-spot information, whiplash protection, dual-stage front airbags, side and curtain airbags plus a driver knee airbag, plus the Care Key speed limiter. The car builds on the XC40 platform that scored five Euro NCAP stars.
Living with the car means using the app for remote climate pre-conditioning and charging control. The frunk adds 31 litres of extra storage and the main boot holds 410-536 litres with seats up.
