Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Cadillac XT4 than in the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric. The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT4.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Cadillac XT4 is a better financial choice over the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac XT4 is a little wider than the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Cadillac XT4, which is slightly longer than the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric.

Handling
The Cadillac XT4 has the same turning radius as the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Cadillac XT4 is clearly the choice over the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT4 has a little less horsepower than the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT4 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT4 and the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric. The Cadillac XT4 has less cargo space than the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
