    Just been reading Australian CarAdvice article about the XC40 hybrid. https://www.caradvice.com.au/945249/2021-volvo-xc40-recharge-long-term-review-the-road-trip/ On a (converting from metric) 500 mile road trip they got 55mpg which I would be very happy with.

    Yes, that’s pretty good, although you should also read the following group test. Car Magazine achieved 62.7mpg from the XC40 but, in a group test against the Ford Kuga and Peugeot 3008 PHEV’s the Volvo was beaten overall by the Ford, which also achieved 97.5mpg! BTW, does a panoramic roof and Harman/Kardon sound system come as standard on the UK spec XC40 T5 Recharge, or is that just in Australia?
