How roomy is a Volvo C40 Recharge?
Volvo continues to push forward with its EV strategy, taking clear and defined steps to make all its vehicles fully electric. The C40 Recharge is one of these models that is now wholly electric and we are investigating howe much space the flat floor now offers up.
Space for activities
Launched in mid-2023, the Volco C40 Recharge is a coupe-styled crossover similar to the Volvo XC40. The fully electric C40 employs a single electric motor and will give you 370-380km of range on a full charge. Electric vehicles are more conducive to interior space as the flat floor allows for more legroom and boot space.

With the proposed space, the question of how much space exactly you can expect comes up. We examined the data to see how much space you and your passengers could expect when taking your next trip.
Interior space
With external dimensions of 4440mm in length, 1873mm in width and a height of 1591mm, the C40 Recharge has a rather roomy upfront, but with some clever internal packaging, it manages to eke out as much space inside as possible in the rear despite the sloped rear roofline.

Seating Capacity
That space inside is allotted for five adults, with the outer rear seats having ISOfix fitted for car seats for the kids, but those longer in the torso may struggle with rear headroom.

Legroom and Headroom
With its coupe styling and maximised internal space, the C40 Recharge is fairly comfortable for a small to medium-sized family. There is plenty of headroom upfront for the average adult and more than enough legroom for even those who are long in the leg, although rear passengers will have a bit of a squeeze as headroom is compromised by the sloping roof line.

Boot Capacity
The C40 Recharge has a boot load volume of 489l, which can be expanded by dropping the rear seats to 1205l; the space given is more than generous enough for everything from golf clubs to the week's groceries and all the kids school equipment.
