~$60,000
Engine: Dual electric motors (front + rear)
Torque: 660 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.7 s
The C40 Recharge Twin brings brisk acceleration from its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, delivering a combined 408 horsepower and 660 Nm of torque. With instant electric torque and a 0–100 km/h time of just 4.7 seconds, it outpaces many compact performance crossovers in its class. The power delivery is linear and immediate, making city driving feel effortless and highway merging seamless.
Despite its higher ride height and crossover body, the C40 offers confident handling and impressive road stability thanks to its low-mounted battery pack, which keeps the center of gravity close to the ground. The suspension is tuned more for control than softness, and while it doesn't offer sharp cornering like sports sedans, its grip and composure in fast bends are noteworthy. Steering is light but precise, and regenerative braking enhances driving control in everyday use.
The C40 is not positioned as a hardcore performance EV but rather as a bold, stylish electric coupe-SUV with enough punch to satisfy spirited drivers. It combines the clean acceleration and silence of EVs with Volvo’s traditionally balanced chassis tuning. It’s a tech-forward alternative to the likes of the Tesla Model Y and Audi Q4 e-tron, offering a more distinctive design and an emphasis on sustainable luxury.
Body Styles
The Volvo C40 is a five-door compact crossover coupe with a sloping rear roofline that distinguishes it from its XC40 sibling. Designed on the CMA platform, it retains SUV-like proportions with a high stance, short overhangs, and pronounced wheel arches, but the fastback silhouette gives it a dynamic and sporty character. Its silhouette is sleek yet muscular, with an aggressive rear taper and a high beltline that visually lowers the roof. With a length of approximately 4.43 meters and a height of just over 1.58 meters, the C40 blends utility with coupe-inspired aesthetics, targeting drivers who want crossover practicality in a sportier, more youthful package.
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
The "C" in C40 refers to "Coupé", highlighting its sloped-roof profile in contrast to the more conventional XC40 SUV. The number "40" places it within Volvo’s compact model range, consistent with the brand's alphanumeric naming structure where higher numbers denote larger or more premium models.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The C40 was offered in a curated palette of sophisticated and bold exterior colors, including Fjord Blue, Sage Green, Thunder Grey, Silver Dawn, Crystal White, and Onyx Black. Unique to the C40 was the use of body-colored lower panels and contrast black roof elements that accentuated its coupe-like proportions. Special finishes like Fusion Red and the exclusive Fjord Blue gave the model a youthful flair, emphasizing its eco-conscious, urban appeal.
The interior embraced Volvo’s push for sustainability, featuring no leather options and using materials such as Nordico — a textile made from recycled PET bottles and forestry industry by-products. The cabin was available in themes like Charcoal Connect Suede Textile/Microtech or Fjord Blue carpeting matched with backlit deco panels inspired by topographic maps. Accents included matte metallic trims and unique pixel patterns etched into dashboard inlays, giving the cabin a minimalist yet tech-savvy feel.
Wheels ranged from 19 to 20 inches, offered in aerodynamic multi-spoke designs with machine-cut, high-gloss black, or diamond-cut finishes. The designs reinforced the car’s futuristic identity, combining style and efficiency, while the larger wheels on performance variants gave it a wider, more planted stance.

vs Competitors
Against rivals like the Tesla Model Y, Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, and Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Volvo C40 makes its mark with Scandinavian minimalism, safety-first engineering, and a distinctive aesthetic. While Tesla offers greater range and over-the-air updates, the C40 emphasizes material quality and tactile interaction over pure tech flash. Audi brings sharper refinement in ride quality, but the C40 stands out with its vegan interior and characterful design. The Mach-E delivers more dynamic driving engagement, yet the Volvo responds with a calmer, more comfort-oriented approach wrapped in an avant-garde design. In short, the C40 appeals to buyers seeking sustainable style over raw numbers, delivering premium electric mobility with clarity and identity.
Fun Fact
The C40 is Volvo’s first model designed from the outset as electric-only — it has no combustion-engine equivalent. It also marked a shift in the brand’s strategy, being the first vehicle to be sold exclusively online in certain markets, showcasing Volvo’s transition toward a fully digital retail experience and its commitment to electrification.
