VOLVO C40 RECHARGE TWIN AWD ULTIMATE: INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LIGHTING OVERVIEW EV

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive look at the interior and exterior lighting of the Volvo C40 Recharge Twin AWD Ultimate, particularly focusing on its nighttime usability. The reviewer highlights the effective approach lights, sharp Thor's Hammer DRLs, and the functionality of the pixel headlights, noting their clear cut-off and cornering light feature which compensates for the lack of active bending on this model. While the turn signals are praised for their brightness, the side mirror indicators are found to be dimmer. The rear tail lights are described as visually appealing with a sequential illumination. The cargo area lighting is deemed adequate with three LEDs, preventing shadows on luggage. Interior lighting is generally well-executed, with bright cabin lights, illuminated door pockets, floorboards, and accent lighting, though some areas like cup holders and a small storage compartment lack illumination. The reviewer notes the inconvenience of headlights turning off when exiting the vehicle, preventing a static demonstration. Headlight performance is a mixed bag: low beams have a noticeable notch or shadow directly in front of the vehicle, which is considered an adjustment issue, while the high beams are described as excellent, evenly lit, and providing great distance illumination. The automatic high beams function well. Overall, the lighting system is appreciated for its aesthetic and functional elements, despite minor drawbacks.
