Volvo Cars Bend recommends that interested shoppers get a feel for Volvo one-pedal drive. While most ideal for urban driving, delivered is a smother ride facilitated by electric powering. This system is offered throughout the new Volvo electrified lineup now featured near Salem, OR.
What to Expect
So, you've decided upon Volvo XC40 Recharge. This pure-electric compact SUV needs only an overnight charge of eight hours for hundreds of miles in ranging the next morning in Portland, OR.
And while there's efficiency and vitality to never having to rely upon fuel, certain Volvo vehicle systems accentuate the driving experience. This includes one-pedal drive.
How it Works
When traveling within Portland proper, activating the one-pedal drive system works to lessen depressing the brake pedal. By lightly pressing and releasing the accelerator pedal, there's no need to initiate braking. Though driving as such within urban areas might be perfect, it doesn’t represent the most efficient form of driving Volvo XC40 Recharge.
One-pedal drive works via involuntary braking and by equal means, acceleration. And it's not recommended on slippery road surfaces after a day's worth of rain outside Eugene, OR.
Notes on One-Pedal Drive
While many Volvo Recharge models host all-wheel drive (AWD), one-pedal drive cannot be implemented when in the off-road drive setting. So, when off-road mode is enabled, the one-pedal drive setting is automatically set to the "off" position. Then, the "creep" setting is instantly engaged.
With off-road mode selected, one-pedal drive will reset to those settings used prior to off-road being enabled. Though, for a closer examination, the best approach is to test one-pedal drive at our local Eugene-area Volvo dealership.
