The Volvo C40 Recharge is based on the XC40 range, however, with a completely different design. The Volvo C40 has a more stylish sloping roof like you would get with coupe vehicles, giving it a more sporty look. But that sporty theme is carried through to the powertrain as the C40 Recharge is motivated by two electric motors, which deliver a combined 300 kW and 660 Nm of torque.
While the styling and performance are very impressive, the standard technology included in the model is also admirable.
