Although there are some similarities, these two are different in most aspects such as model year, body structure, powertrain, starting price, horsepower, fuel economy, market segment, and ground shadow size. First of all, there is a notable difference in the starting price of the 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, which is $21,900 less than the base MSRP of the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge, which is four model years newer. Also, body structures are completely different. One is a Sedan and the other an SUV. The 2018 Clarity Plug-in Hybrid is also slightly larger than the 2022 XC40 Recharge. In addition, a bigger engine usually means less mpg. But the XC40 Recharge has a more powerful engine and it gets 43 more mpg than the Clarity Plug-in Hybrid. Among similarities is the maximum occupancy.
