Really excited for this. I've been eyeing the C40 and XC40 (when they were on the hertz site) for a while now. Can't wait to see the updates and maybe find a 2023 in 2025 and somehow get the used ev tax credit! I love my PS2 but I would have preferred the way volvo placed the 2 cup holders and the air vents. On the flip side, I prefer some added user choice in the OPD and handling of the PS2 but surely miss the increased passenger volume in the rear of the volvo variants. Dealer/service network is definitely a win for the volvos.

I went to hertz to look at a used Mazda cx5 on two occasions, both times the car was not what it was as advertised. Had pretty extensive damage on both, lots of cosmetic issues. Cracked bumpers, one was missing a front reflector, well it was in the hole, but the bumper was cracked and it was shoved in there, both times they acted like it was in pristine condition and weren’t willing to negotiate the price whatsoever on the new light of these issues.

If you're going to buy a rental; Buy an EV. It's a lot more difficult (I know rental car demographics so I'm not saying impossible) to damage an Electric Motor. It's pathetically easy to damage Internal Combustion Engines, especially modern ones. If not this my guess would have been a Solterra. Such great deals on those from Hertz!

It’s absolutely Hilarious that you would complain about not having adaptive cruise control but not at all bothered about having to make at least 7 charging stops along the way. Guarantee you will spend more money then if you were driving something with a run of the mill 2. 0L turbo crossover.

Would love to hear the reasoning for choosing this as a tester vehicle. The big memes for used Hertz sales are Teslas.
Looking at the horrible offering and high msrp, I see why this car was sold off to Hertz from a dealer lot. 220 miles and no adaptive cruise is laughable.

That has a sealed lid on the frunk because that's also available as a hybrid and I don't know any IC car with a water tight engine compartment - just easier to make the drop-in plastic frunk module than to engineer a hood that seals.

no standard power shade for the oversized glass roof translates to lack of respect for the occupants and creates a harsh cabin environment for babies and pets. so if you care about yourself and your occupants, buy something else.

I used to work for a car rental company. We did minimal maintenance on the cars, they always were the base model of each type, and the customers would abuse the heck out of them. But that’s a cheap price for a used car.

Considering the extensive connectivity of EVs, I would expect it to be relatively straightforward to use an OBD/app to find one with the least wear and tear and the best historical driving record.

I'm wondering if Adaptive Cruise Control is disabled through software like they do it with Polestar. I know there's ways to turn it on for Polestar vehicles using some 3rd party diagnostic tools.

The divider in the frunk is because there’s no safety latch inside and a child could trap themselves in there. The divider is the cheap way of complying with safety standards.

My burning question: why
But seriously, 27k for a 1 year old EV that you (I guess) can road trip with 400 HP is amazing. Thank you, America, for creating this car market
