Volvo XC40 Recharge comes with a 78kWh battery pack with two electric motors. Both electric motors offer a power and torque output of 408PS and 660Nm. The XC40 Recharge comes with a range of 418km on a single charge and we expect its real-world range to be around 300km. It can also do 0-100kmph in 4.90 seconds.

We expect Volvo to price the XC40 Recharge against the recently-launched Kia EV6. Kia India launched the EV6 with two drivetrain options — 2WD at Rs. 59.95 lakh and 4WD at Rs. 64.95 lakh ex-showroom. While Kia brought the EV6 via the CBU route, their sister brand Hyundai are considering local assembly for the Ioniq 5 electric crossover.
