Inside, the C40 Recharge provides customers with the high seating position that most Volvo drivers prefer, while it is available with a range of colour and deco options unique to the model. It is also the first Volvo model to be completely leather-free.

It provides consumers with Google apps and services built-in, such as Google Maps, Google Assistant and the Google Play Store*.

Under The Bonnet

Sometimes quiet is the most powerful way to go, with zero tailpipe emissions and less noise at all speeds. Powered by a high-voltage battery and dual electric motors, our C40 pure electric is pure progress for the road ahead.

The propulsion consists of twin electric motors, one on the front and one on the rear axle, powered by a 78kWh battery that can be fast-charged from to 10-80 per cent in about 40 minutes. It offers an anticipated range of around 440 km.

To make the most of the battery life in a pure electric car, we recommend AC charging the battery up to 90 percent capacity for typical daily driving, and preferably not letting the charge fall below 20 percent. The car can offer plenty of range for daily trips, and you'll likely only need to top up the charge throughout the week.

With the C40 the charging time can depend on the type of charging you are undertaking. For example:

40 min – 2 h: With DC fast charging (50–150kW)

8 – 10 h: With 11kW AC fast charging/wallbox.

No Compromise Driving Volvo C40 Just take your seat, drive away and enjoy the comfort of one pedal drive, smooth accelaratioon and all-wheel drive – with zero tailpipe emissions.
