The Volvo C40 Recharge is a fully electric compact SUV from Volvo. It uses a coupe-style crossover body with a sloping roofline and five-door layout. The model sits in the premium compact EV segment and shares its platform with the XC40 electric SUV.

Battery options include 69 kWh and 82 kWh packs depending on the version. WLTP range reaches about 477 km for the single-motor model and up to about 581 km for the extended-range variant. Twin-motor all-wheel-drive versions deliver up to about 550 km WLTP. DC fast charging reaches about 200 kW on newer models, allowing a 10 to 80 percent charge in roughly 28 minutes under ideal conditions.

Pricing places the C40 Recharge in the premium compact EV category, with many markets listing starting prices near $55,000 before incentives. The SUV suits drivers who want a smaller electric luxury crossover with a coupe-like design and strong performance. Other EVs from the brand include the Volvo EX30 and Volvo EX40. Key alternatives include the Tesla Model Y and Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback. Compared with the Model Y, the C40 Recharge focuses more on interior materials and a coupe-style design while the Tesla delivers longer driving range.
