The Volvo C40 Recharge is a sleek, compact electric crossover designed for eco-conscious drivers who appreciate modern aesthetics and premium performance. Built on Volvo’s Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), this coupe-inspired electric crossover emphasizes efficiency and style, eliminating leather for an all-vegan interior. It offers strong performance and advanced safety features, wrapped in a bold, forward-thinking package. The model retails at P4,190,000 in the Philippines.
Under the body lies Volvo’s CMA platform, shared with the XC40 Recharge, enabling both single and twin-motor electric drivetrains. The twin-motor AWD setup delivers around 408 hp and 660 Nm of torque, pushing the car from zero to 100 km/h in about 4.7 seconds, with top speeds of 180 km/h. It draws power from a roughly 82 kWh battery pack, supporting around 650 km of range in mixed driving. AC charging (3-phase, 11 kW) completes a full charge in about eight hours, while DC fast charging (up to 200 kW) refuels from 10 to 80 percent in around 27 minutes.
The C40 Recharge integrates Google services directly into its 9-inch infotainment system, enhancing navigation, voice control, and app access via Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play. It receives over‑the‑air (OTA) updates, ensuring that both system features and performance stay current. A Harman Kardon premium audio system with 13 speakers and a 600 W amplifier adds a rich, immersive sound experience.
The C40 Recharge stands out with its dynamic coupe-like roofline that merges sporty aesthetics with crossover versatility. Full LED lighting is accentuated by the signature Thor’s Hammer pixel headlights, forming a striking visual statement. It rides on 19‑inch alloy wheels and has a ground clearance of 171 mm, maintaining practicality without sacrificing road presence. Clean, sloping lines, rear spoiler integration, and stylish tail lamps round out its contemporary design.
Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully minimalist and fully leather-free, featuring soft-touch surfaces and an eco-conscious design philosophy. A vertical touchscreen interface controls infotainment and climate functions, streamlined but sometimes requiring a few taps to access secondary controls. Rear seats are slightly constrained by the sloping roofline, but still accommodate average-size passengers and feature a center armrest. Additional comforts include power-adjustable seats with memory and lumbar support, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone AC, and a sophisticated air-purification system removing up to 80 percent of PM 2.5 particulates for cleaner cabin air.
Being a Volvo product, safety remains at the forefront. The C40 Recharge offers six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, and traction control as standard. Volvo's suite of driver aids includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping aid, blind-spot information system (BLIS), and cross-traffic alert with autobrake, plus a 360-degree camera for confident parking. The pixel headlights intelligently adapt to oncoming traffic, offering better illumination without dazzling others
