The C40 Recharge is a pure electric crossover with other notable features like a Google-based infotainment system; it's quite safe and practical and has a leather-free interior.  Electrification is front and centre with Volvo for its future, not just for the environment but for the sake of style and, for the purposes of this article, performance as well. Speaking of which, how is the performance of the Volvo C40 Recharge?

 

 

Volvo C40 Recharge Performance

 

Powering the C40 Recharge is a 78kWh lithium-ion battery pack. There are twin motors with one motor on each axle. A single charge can deliver a range of up to 451km (WLTP). Power is sent through an automatic transmission to all four wheels.  Output-wise, you can expect a potent 300kW and 510 Nm, propelling the C40 Recharge from 0-100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds. The C40 Recharge can reach a maximum speed of 180 km/h. We can conclude that the C40 Recharge's performance is quite perky. If you're impressed by the C40's performance and want to start looking for one, you can search AutoTrader for the latest used and new offerings and sell your car, too.
