A quarter of a century has passed since Volvo last sold a car with rear-wheel drive. For the 2023 model year, RWD is back, but there's no combustion engine this time around. The updated XC40 and C40 Recharge models are offered with not one but two RWD versions featuring different electric motors and batteries. The base model has 235 hp (175 kW) with a 69-kWh pack while the more expensive version packs 248 hp (185 kW) and an 82-kWh battery.
