Volvo Car India recently launched its first electric SUV, XC40 Recharge, in the country. The company officially confirmed that its second electric offering in India will be the C40 Recharge and it will be launched sometime next year. Here’s all you need to know about the new Volvo C40 Recharge electric coupe SUV, during the launch event. 

Built on the same Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform, both these EVs have a lot of things in common. The front profile of both these electric SUVs is identical. The new Volvo C40 Recharge is a coupe version of the XC40 Recharge electric SUV. However, at the side, the C40 has a sloping roofline while at the rear, it gets new LED taillamps and a spoiler. 

Volvo C40 Recharge is available with a single motor & a dual motor set-up in the global markets and the latter should come to India as it’s identical to the XC40 Recharge. It gets two electric motors that deliver a combined output of 402 bhp and 660 Nm of torque. This coupe e-SUV features a 78kWh battery pack and is claimed to offer a range of 420 km on a single charge.

The new Volvo C40 Recharge will be launched in India next year. It is expected to be priced around the Rs 60 lakh mark, ex-showroom, provided the company assembles it in India, just like the XC40 Recharge. Upon launch, it will rival the likes of the BMW i4, Mini Cooper SE, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and others.
