Volvo XC40 Recharge specifications
Powertrain
The Volvo XC40 Recharge will be available with a twin motor powertrain with a 78kWh battery pack. The battery pack supports 150kW fast charging, enabling it to charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 33 minutes. A more conventional 50kW fast charger could juice this Volvo up to 100 percent in 2.5 hours.
The powertrain, thanks to the 480bhp peak power and 660Nm peak torque, give the XC40 Recharge the ability to sprint from 0 to 100kmph in 4.9 seconds. The XC40 Recharge’s twin motor setup also enables an AWD set-up. The XC40 Recharge posts a claimed ARAI-certified range of 418km on a single charge.
Design
The XC40 is good looking SUV, and the electric version is no different. The Swedish car maker has retained the unique Thor’s hammer-like front signature DRL in the LED headlight, and the vertically stacked rear LED lighting system is there too. There’s a blanked-out grille and a new set of 19-inch dual-tone alloys to differentiate it from its gasoline sibling.
The XC40 Recharge is 15mm longer than the petrol XC40 and now sits a tad lower at 175mm, given the battery pack. The boot capacity stands at 452 litres and the electric powertrain has also made way for a 31-litre space under the ‘frunk’.
