Xc40 Recharge :Everything you want to know about ADV News, Photos & Exclusive stories.

<p>In a bid to streamline its nomenclature&nbsp;to avoid confusion among buyers, Volvo India has officially dropped&nbsp;the 'Recharge' name on its first electric SUV for the country&nbsp;– the&nbsp;XC40 Recharge. As a result, the Volvo XC40 Recharge is now called the EX40. The update&nbsp;comes along with a price increase of the SUV by Rs 1.15&nbsp;lakh. According to the official listing on the website, the Volvo EX40 is priced at Rs 56.10 lakh, up by Rs 54.95 lakh. The prices are ex-showroom. That said, the company continues to sell the&nbsp;XC40 Recharge, which is available in a single-motor configuration only, until the stocks last. We expect the&nbsp;C40 Recharge coupe SUV to undergo the same change soon. Following this, the&nbsp;C40 Recharge will be called the EC40.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Volvo EX40: Powertrain</h2>

<p>While the&nbsp;C40 Recharge is currently sold in a two-motor (all-wheel drive) AWD configuration, the Volvo EX40 comes in a rear-wheel-drive guise and packs a&nbsp;69kWh battery. The single-motor RWD setup churns out 235bhp and 420Nm of peak torque, and the battery yields a claimed range of 475km on the WLTP cycle. Volvo claims the EV can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 7.3 seconds. The top speed is marked at 180km/h. Besides an 11kW AC charging, the vehicle supports DC fast charging, which helps it to fully charge within 34 minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Volvo XC40 Recharge is the brand's first electric vehicle in India, which went on sale in 2022 with a&nbsp;single dual-motor setup. The Swedish automaker, however, recently introduced an entry-level model to the portfolio, making the e-SUV more affordable. The new variant, called the Plus (formerly known as the 'Single'), has a sticker price of Rs 54.95 lakh (ex-showroom), with reservations currently open for Rs 1 lakh.

2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge Plus, Ultimate Variants Explained: What's Different?

The XC40 Recharge recently gained a new base variant called Plus, which comes with a single-motor setup. The new version is Rs 2.95 lakh more affordable than the top-spec Ultimate (dual-motor) variant, which costs Rs 57.90 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom.

<p>Volvo Car India launched the&nbsp;single-motor variant of the XC40 Recharge at Rs 54.95 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price tag, the XC40 Recharge Plus (E60)&nbsp;–&nbsp;as referred to by the company&nbsp;–&nbsp;undercuts the dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant of the XC40 Recharge, which sets you back by Rs 57.90 lakh (ex-showroom). This marks the third electric offering from the Swedish manufacturer, following the&nbsp;XC40 Recharge Ultimate and the C40 Recharge.&nbsp;The&nbsp;XC40 Recharge Plus is available for booking for a token amount of Rs 1 lakh, although through an online portal only.</p>

<p>As the name suggests, the&nbsp;XC40 Recharge single-motor variant gets a rear-axle-mounted electric motor and a&nbsp;69kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The electric motor is capable of churning out&nbsp;236bhp and 420Nm of peak torque, while the battery offers a WLTP-claimed range of 475 kilometres&nbsp;on a single charge. Volvo says the SUV can accelerate from a halt to 100km/h in 7.3 seconds and attain a&nbsp;top speed of 180km/h. An 8-year battery warranty is available at no extra cost with the electric SUV, which also includes&nbsp;a wall box charger (as a standard fitment). Moreover, you also get&nbsp;a three-year complete car warranty, a five-year digital service subscription, a three-year Volvo service package, and three years of roadside assistance.</p>

<h2>Volvo XC40 Recharge Single-Motor Variant: Features</h2>

<p>However, in comparison to the XC40 Recharge twin-motor, the single-motor version lacks&nbsp;Pixel LED headlamps, fog lamps, a Harman Kardon sound system, and a 360-degree camera. Having said that, the new variant comes with a leather-free interior, a 9.0-inch infotainment screen,&nbsp;a 12-inch digital driver's display,&nbsp;wireless smartphone charging,&nbsp;powered front seats, two-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, an 8-speaker sound system,&nbsp;an advanced air purifier system with a PM 2.5 sensor, TPMS, and so on.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Safety-wise, the E60 offers seven airbags, a blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, pilot assist, lane-keeping aid, collision mitigation support (front and rear), and parking assistance sensors (front and rear).</p>

<h2>Volvo XC40 Recharge Single-Motor Variant: Rivals</h2>

<p>In the Indian market, the&nbsp;Volvo XC40 Recharge single motor rivals&nbsp;the&nbsp;Hyundai Ioniq 5, the BYD Seal sedan (<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/byd-seal-electric-sedan-launched-in-india-at-rs-41-lakh-116371/">launched in early March</a>),&nbsp;and others. Like the XC40 Recharge twin motor,&nbsp;it too will be&nbsp;assembled at the Company’s plant at Hosakote in Bengaluru, Karnataka.</p>

<h2>Upcoming Volvo Launches</h2>

<p>Last month, <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/volvo-ex90-ex30-electric-suvs-to-launch-in-india-in-2025-heres-what-to-expect-116316/">Volvo officially confirmed the launch of the EX30 and EX90</a> electric SUVs in the Indian market by 2025.&nbsp;The former will be&nbsp;the Swedish carmaker's entry-level EV built on&nbsp;Geely's SEA platform, while the latter will be the brand's flagship model underpinned by an EV SPA2 architecture.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Volvo EV Lineup in India&nbsp;</h2>

<p>In the India EV lineup, Volvo now sells the XC40 Recharge Plus, the XC40 Recharge&nbsp;Ultimate, and the C40 Recharge, priced at Rs 54.95 lakh, Rs 57.90 lakh, and Rs 62.95 lakh, respectively. The prices are ex-showroom.</p>


Volvo XC40 Recharge Single-Motor Variant Bookings Open in India at Rs 1 Lakh

The Volvo XC40 Recharge single-motor variant is available for booking for a token amount of Rs 1 lakh, although through a dedicated online portal only.

<p>Build Your Dreams (BYD) has set a new standard for electric sedans in India with its reasonably priced Seal. The premium model was launched in our market early this month at a starting price of Rs 41 lakh. With over 200 reservations in less than a week, since BYD began bookings on February 28, the car has started to gain popularity in the market. The new e-sedan competes with several vehicles in India, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Kia EV6, and the Volvo XC40 Recharge. We've already looked at how the model compares to the Ioniq 5 and the EV6. Now it's time to pit the newly introduced BYD sedan against its other rival, the XC40 Recharge. So, without any further delay, let’s look at the detailed comparison of these two models.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Volvo XC40 Recharge" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Volvo-XC40-Recharge.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<h2>BYD Seal vs Volvo XC40 Recharge: Prices</h2>

<p>Budget is undoubtedly a key factor to consider when purchasing a car. Taking this into account, the BYD sedan appears to be the most competitively priced vehicle in its class. It comes in three variants: Dynamic (RWD), Premium (RWD), and Performance (AWD), priced at Rs 41 lakh, Rs 45.55 lakh, and Rs 53 lakh. These are ex-showroom prices. In contrast, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/volvo-xc40-recharge-review-first-drive-110900/">XC40 Recharge</a> comes in two versions: single motor and dual-motor Ultimate. The former, with a 2WD setup, costs Rs 54.95 lakh, while the latter, with AWD, is priced at Rs 57.90 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. As you can see here, the most reasonable performance option is the BYD sedan's top-spec AWD model. It is around Rs 5 lakh less expensive than Volvo's AWD electric vehicle.</p>

<h2>BYD Seal vs Volvo XC40 Recharge: Design and Dimensions&nbsp;</h2>

<p><img alt="BYD Seal Rear" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/03/BYD-Seal-rear.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The Seal EV embraces the 'ocean aesthetics' design philosophy of the Chinese carmaker. It has a sculpted sloping roofline, arrow-shaped inlays on the front bumper, double-U floating LED headlights, and electronic hidden flush door handles. The car also includes a black diffuser, LED taillamps, and an LED bar that runs across the length of the bonnet at the rear. It comes equipped with 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, which have a petal-like design. The model's four exterior paint options are Aurora White, Cosmos Black, Atlantis Grey, and Arctic Blue.</p>

<p>In contrast, the XC40 Recharge is available in nine exterior color options from the Swedish automaker: Cloud Blue, Silver Dawn, Bright Dusk, Vapour Grey, Onyx Black, Thunder Grey, Sage Green, and Fjord Blue. The Volvo vehicle comes equipped with dual-tone 19-inch alloy rims, a blacked-out grille, new "Thor's Hammer" DRLs, and more.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Volvo XC40 Recharge Rear Quarter" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Volvo-XC40-Recharge-rear-quarter.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>In terms of dimensions, the Seal EV is 4,800mm long, 1,875mm wide, and 1,460mm tall. It has 2920mm of wheelbase. This luxury Volvo sedan, on the other hand, measures 4,440mm in length, 1,873mm in width, 1,651mm in height, and features a 2,702mm wheelbase.&nbsp;The XC40 Recharge, with its SUV posture, is clearly the tallest here, while the BYD Seal is the longer and wider of the two. However, the Chinese automaker's electric vehicle boasts the longest wheelbase.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>BYD Seal vs Volvo XC40 Recharge: Powertrain</h2>

<p>While the Performance model is all-wheel drive, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/byd-seal-dynamic-premium-performance-variants-explained-whats-different-116379/">Seal Dynamic and Premium models</a> have a rear-wheel drive configuration. These variants differ in terms of power and range. For example, the Dynamic delivers 201bhp and 310Nm, and a range of 510 kilometres.&nbsp;However, the Premium model has the longest range in the lineup—650 kilometres—and outputs of 308bhp and 360Nm. The Performance model, in contrast, generates 523bhp and 670Nm and claims a range of 580 kilometres.&nbsp;The Seal EV is available with two different battery packs. The smaller 61.44kWh battery is included with the entry-level Dynamic model, while the larger 82.56kWh battery is featured in the remaining two variants.</p>

<p>On the other hand, there are two versions available for the Volvo XC40 Recharge: the Single (single-motor) and Ultimate (dual-motor). A 69kWh battery and a single electric motor with 236bhp and 420Nm power the XC40 Recharge Single variant. Its stated range, according to WLTP, is 475 kilometres.&nbsp;The Volvo XC40 Recharge Single Variant, according to the Swedish automaker, can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 7.3 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 180km/h.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In comparison, the Ultimate variant's two electric motors are driven by a larger 78kWh battery pack. It produces 402bhp and 660Nm.&nbsp;According to the company, the dual-motor model can go from 0 to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>BYD Seal vs Volvo XC40 Recharge: Features</h2>

<h2><img alt="BYD Seal Interior 1  jpg" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/03/BYD-Seal-Interior-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></h2>

<p>The Seal's cutting-edge cabin includes an electronically adjustable AC vent system, rain-sensing wipers, a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment screen—the first in its class—and a 10.2-inch full LCD driver's display. The EV also comes with a panoramic sunroof, two wireless phone chargers, heated and ventilated front seats, an ADAS safety package, a 360-degree camera, and more.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Volvo XC40 Recharge Interior" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/08/Volvo-XC40-Recharge-interior.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The Volvo XC40 Recharge, on the other hand, is equipped with a dual-zone climate control system, a powered tailgate, a panoramic sunroof, a 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay support, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 250 W 8-speaker sound system, wireless phone charging, and an air purifier, among others features.&nbsp;</p>


BYD Seal vs Volvo XC40 Recharge Spec Comparison: Which One Should You Buy?

Here's a detailed comparison of the recently launched BYD Seal and the Volvo XC40 Recharge. If you are unsure about which EV to pick among these two, here is all you need to know.

<p>Volvo has launched the single-motor version of the XC40 Recharge in India at an introductory ex-showroom price of Rs 54.95 lakh. The new entry-level model is available for purchase alongside the top-end, twin-motor variant, which retails for Rs 57.90 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. The electric vehicle is a testament to the premium automaker's support of domestic manufacturing, as it is assembled at the facility located in Hosakate, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Reservations are only available on the official website for the electric SUV. For the uninitiated, Volvo's first electric offering in India is the XC40 Recharge, which went on sale in 2022. According to the company, the price of the EV with a single motor has been purposefully set to attract a large number of buyers. The premium automaker currently provides the C40 Recharge twin-motor, XC40 Recharge twin-motor, and single-motor variants as its three EV models in India.</p>

<h2>Volvo XC40 Recharge Single Variant: Key Highlights</h2>

<p>A 69kWh battery pack powers the motor in the new entry-level model, producing&nbsp;236bhp and 420Nm of performance figures. The variant&nbsp;can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 7.3 seconds and has a WLTP-claimed range of 475 kilometres on a single charge. Furthermore, it offers a top speed of&nbsp;180km/h. In contrast, the SUV's dual-motor model features a 78kWh battery. It produces 402bhp and 660Nm. The dual-motor model accelerates from a complete halt to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds.</p>

<p>The new single-motor variant comes equipped with features such as seven airbags, wireless smartphone charging, an advanced air purifier system with a PM 2.5 sensor, leather-free interiors, blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, pilot assist, lane-keeping aid, collision mitigation support (front and rear), and parking assistance sensors (front and rear).</p>

<p>For the <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/volvo-xc40-recharge-review-first-drive-110900/">XC40 Recharge </a>single motor, Volvo is offering an eight-year battery warranty as well as, a three-year complete car warranty. Additionally, the clients will receive a five-year digital service subscription, a three-year Volvo service package, a wall box charger (11kW) from a third party, and three years of roadside assistance.</p>

<p>Volvo revealed in February that <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/volvo-xc40-c40-electric-suvs-renamed-globally-abandons-recharge-suffix-116249/">the XC40 Recharge and the C40 Recharge, two of its best-selling electric cars, have been renamed for the international market</a>. As a result, the C40 Recharge is now called the EC40, and the XC40 Recharge is named as the EX40. The premium automaker has not made any announcements for India, but industry reports indicate that the EVs here may also receive new names.</p>


Volvo XC40 Recharge New Affordable 'Single' Variant Launched in India at Rs 54.95 Lakh

The entry-level Volvo XC40 Recharge model with a single motor has made the SUV more affordable in India. Right now, reservations can only be made on the brand's official website.

<p>In 2022, the Volvo XC40 Recharge made its debut in India, with an ex-showroom&nbsp;starting price of Rs&nbsp;55.90 lakh. This&nbsp;electric SUV, which now retails for Rs&nbsp;56.90 lakh (ex-showroom), is offered by the automaker in a single, fully loaded trim. The Swedish luxury carmaker is offering discounts of up to Rs&nbsp;2.35 lakh&nbsp;on the SUV&nbsp;as of February 2024. However, this offer is valid for MY23 cars. In addition, there's also a Rs&nbsp;52,000 discount on the MY24 units. For Rs&nbsp;1 lakh, you can reserve the vehicle at any authorised&nbsp;dealership or on the brand's&nbsp;official website.</p>

<h2>Volvo XC40 Recharge: Battery Specs and Range</h2>

<p><img alt="Volvo XC40 Recharge Rear Quarter" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Volvo-XC40-Recharge-rear-quarter.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The XC40 Recharge is offered in India in a single&nbsp;variant&nbsp;which has two electric motors—one on each axle—producing 408bhp&nbsp;and 660Nm of peak torque and is claimed to have a range of 418-kilometre on the WLTP cycle. This makes&nbsp;it nearly twice as powerful as the XC40 with a petrol&nbsp;mill. With all that power, the XC40 Recharge can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h&nbsp;in 4.9 seconds; however, the EV weighs 400 kg more than the petrol-powered equivalent.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Volvo XC40 Recharge: Charging Time</h2>

<p>With a 78kWh battery that can handle 150kW DC rapid charging, the Volvo XC40 Recharge can achieve 10 per cent&nbsp;to 80 per cent charging&nbsp;in just 28&nbsp;minutes. The car manufacturer further&nbsp;claims that the electrified XC40 can reach 100 per cent&nbsp;charge in roughly 2.5 hours using a more convenient 50kW fast charger.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Volvo XC40 Recharge: Exterior Design</h2>

<p>The XC40 Recharge arrived in India largely as a&nbsp;facelifted model, with a few minor cosmetic adjustments like a redesigned bumper and a new "Thor's Hammer" DRL. The car&nbsp;is 15mm longer than the gasoline-powered XC40, but because of the battery pack, it has a marginally lower ground clearance of 175mm. Moreover, it comes equipped with a new set of dual-tone 19-inch alloy wheels, a blacked-out grille, and a 452-litre boot with an extra 31-litre&nbsp;boot under the engine.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Volvo C40 Recharge: Features</h2>

<p><img alt="Volvo XC40 Recharge Interior 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Volvo-XC40-Recharge-interior-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Speaking of features, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/volvo-xc40-recharge-review-first-drive-110900/">XC40 Recharge's</a> infotainment and telematics systems were&nbsp;carried over from the facelifted XC60, which has an&nbsp;infotainment system based on Android and a crisper set of digital dials. With the aid of an onboard e-SIM, the driver has direct access to Google Assistant and Maps, as well as other PlayStore apps. On top of that, a&nbsp;panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging, connected&nbsp;car technology, a comprehensive suite of sensor-based ADAS features including Level 2 Autonomous driving, powered front seats with driver-side memory, and a high-end Harman Kardon sound system are all included with the SUV.&nbsp;</p>

The pricing of its electric vehicles, however, remains unchanged. Volvo presently offers three petrol-based vehicles—the XC60, S90, and XC90, alongside two electric cars—the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge in the country. After the price hike, the Volvo S90 now costs Rs 68.25 lakh, while the XC60 retails for Rs 68.90 lakh. The XC90, on the other hand, is priced at Rs 1.08 crore.
