What’s New for the 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge

The 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge electric vehicle is available in two powertrain options to fit your driving preferences and efficiency needs:

• A new Single Motor (RWD) powertrain with a new Volvo-developed rear electric motor and an 82 kWh battery.
• The existing Twin Motor (AWD) powertrain, which now features a new asynchronous front electric motor and a new Volvo-developed rear motor, while retaining the 78 kWh battery.

If you’re looking to buy a new car and are considering an electric vehicle, the Volvo XC40 Recharge is worth checking out. The XC40 Recharge comes with various advanced safety features and technology, making it a standout in its class. Volvo has equipped the XC40 Recharge with safety technologies like Pilot Assist (semi-autonomous driving with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping aid), automatic emergency braking, cross-traffic alert, and a 360-degree camera.

The XC40 Recharge and the C40 come similarly well-trimmed levels, ensuring buyers enjoy luxury, technology, and performance. However, the XC40 Recharge, with its emphasis on space and functionality, is poised to appeal to those who value these features. It offers a versatile choice of luxurious EVs that embody eco-consciousness in an athletic C40 manner.

Styling Updates

For the 2024 model year, the XC40 Recharge will also receive some styling updates, including a new 19″ wheel design for the Core and Plus equipment levels and two new exterior paint colors (Cloud Blue and Vapour Grey Metallic), while Black Stone and Thunder Grey Metallic will be discontinued.

The equipment levels also see some changes, such as the removal of Power Child Locks on the rear doors for the Core and Plus levels, but the addition of Air Purifier, Cornering Lights, and Pixel Headlight Technology (depending on the trim level). The Climate Pack for the Core and Plus levels will no longer include Headlight cleaners, and the Air Purifier will no longer be available as a standalone option, as it will be standard on the Plus and Ultimate equipment levels.

Exterior Design

The 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge is a perfect blend of rugged design and modern sophistication. It retains the chunky silhouette and signature “Thor’s Hammer” LED headlights of its gas-powered counterpart. The vehicle has subtle blue accents that suggest its electric nature, while new wheel designs add a touch of sportiness. The car’s Scandinavian design theme is evident with clean lines, high-quality materials such as natural fibers and contrast stitching, and clever storage solutions. The aim is to create a calming and clutter-free environment for a luxurious electric driving experience.

Interior and Cargo Space

The 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge boasts a spacious and comfortable interior for passengers, providing ample headroom of 37.6 inches in the front and 38.3 inches in the rear. The shoulder room measures at 56.7 inches in the front and 56.3 inches in the rear, ensuring a comfortable ride for all occupants. However, legroom in the back seats measures at 36.1 inches, which may be a bit tight for taller adults on longer journeys. On the bright side, the XC40 Recharge offers expandable cargo capacity, with 16 cubic feet of cargo space behind the seats that is perfect for groceries or weekend luggage. If you need to haul more oversized items, you can fold down the rear seats to access a maximum cargo capacity of 57.5 cubic feet, providing more flexibility for bulkier gear.
