Volvo recently launched the XC40 Recharge in the country, and during its launch, the carmaker announced its next EV for India will be the C40 Recharge. The upcoming EV will be launched in India sometime next year, and is based on the XC40 Recharge. The coupe SUV version of the XC40 Recharge only gets an electric powertrain and not an ICE counterpart.
Already available globally, the Volvo C40 Recharge will be the second all-electric model for the carmaker in India. It comes in three trims — Core, Plus and Ultimate — and, as standard, gets a single electric motor developing 231hp and 330Nm of torque delivered to the front wheels.
The Plus and Ultimate trims, however, also get a “Twin” version, which has a dual-motor set-up — one on each axle — and develops 408hp and 660Nm of torque. The single-motor, with a 67kWh battery, has a 430km range on the WLTP cycle, while the dual-motor, with a 75kWh battery, has a range of 433km.
