2022 Model Redesign Year

The C40's swept-back roofline makes it more of a hatchback than an SUV. This EV's dual-motor, 402-hp setup gives it all-wheel-drive capability, while a rear-wheel-drive version is also available. In our 70-mph highway-range test, the AWD C40 got 232 miles from the 78-kWh battery. Home charging can supply 34 miles of range per hour, but the 150-kW maximum acceptance rate at DC fast chargers is not a standout. Acceleration is very quick and effortless. However, the regenerative braking is too abrupt, though drivers can opt out of it in the settings.

The ride is stiff, and wind noise is elevated due to the large fixed glass roof. Handling is sound but unexceptional. As is typical of a Volvo, the controls are unintuitive. The front seats are comfortable, and fit and finish is commendable. It will be renamed as EC40 for the 2026 model.

2022-Present

2022 Model Redesign Year

Based on the XC40 SUV, the C40 Recharge combines the ride height of an SUV with just the cargo space of a hatchback car. In addition to the scrunched rear roofline, Volvo says the C40 is 'lower and sleeker' than the XC40 recharge. The C40 also has a slightly different front end, a totally new rear view, and a leather-free interior. Like the XC40 Recharge and the Polestar 2, the C40 has a dual-motor setup and 78-kWh battery, and an estimated range over 200 miles. The C40 will be renamed the EC40 for 2026.
