The 2024 XC40 also benefits from a higher-capacity battery than the previous year's model, which means more range.

Most controls in the XC40 Recharge, including air conditioning and heat, are located in the 12.3-inch touchscreen. The screen is relatively easy to use and features a Google-based interface. Apple CarPlay® also comes standard, and there are ample places to charge your phone, including four USB ports and a wireless charging pad.
