The Volvo C40 is the chopped-roof"coupe" version of the Volvo XC40, albeit without the internal combustion powertrain options. It's Recharge or nothing. As an electric vehicle, the C40 is quite agreeable, with ample range and performance, plus a refined driving experience indicative of a Volvo that is quite clearly more sophisticated than the Hyundais, Kias and Volkswagens of the world. The interior up front is highly functional, too, with clever storage and good tech.
Just in case it's not obvious, the C40/EC40 and XC40/EX40 is on the right. I'm done doing that / business, so I'm just going to make this future-proof from here on out. Now, I wrote off this area in the XC40 luggage test since it wasn't big enough to hold the smallest bag, shown above in blue. I shouldn't have been to so quick to write it off, though, so I'll be updating the XC40 luggage test according. But more on that in a moment.
As with every Luggage Test, I use two midsize roller suitcases that would need to be checked in at the airport , two black roll-aboard suitcases that just barely fit in the overhead , and one smaller green roll-aboard that fits easily . I also include my wife's fancy overnight bag just to spruce things up a bit .
Notice how the bigger blue bag is standing upright in the EX40? As you can clearly see above left, that's just not possible in the EC40. As such, I was initially just looking at the exact same bags in the exact same formation as with the cargo cover in place. I guess I could've plopped the fancy bag on top and loaded to the roof , but that is technically against Luggage Test rules.
You'll also find the big foam casing for the jack and tire iron that takes up WAY too much space given the size of the two items it's tasked with carrying. I relocated it and you'll see where it went shortly.
