Volvo C40 Recharge: Design
The electric vehicle looks ‘sleek and modern,’ said HT Auto, adding that it also carries Volvo’s ‘signature styling elements.’ These, the report said, include a ‘relatively clean’ front profile with a closed panel (in place of the conventional radiator grille), ‘Thor’s Hammer’ headlights, and LED headlights with a vertical orientation.
Volvo C40 Recharge: Cabin and features
C40 Recharge’s spacious cabin is built from recycled and renewable materials, claims Volvo. The cabin comes with features such as ambient lighting, seats of ‘high-quality’ leather, wool blend, and recycled polyester; premium sound system from Harman Kardon, and several other advanced features.
Volvo C40 Recharge: Battery
The SUV draws energy from a 78 kWh battery pack that has a usable capacity of 75 kWh, and can deliver a range of up to 371 kms on a single charge.
Volvo C40 Recharge: Wheel drive configuration
In the global market, the model is offered in a single-motor rear-wheel drive configuration and a dual-motor all-wheel drive configuration. It is not known which of these two – or if both – will be offered for the Indian market.
