Volvo C40 Recharge To Make India Debut On June 14; Has Range Of Up To 450 Km

Volvo is all set to reveal its latest electric crossover, the C40 Recharge, in India on June 14. It will be the automaker’s second electric model in the country after the XC40 Recharge, which is currently among its best-selling vehicles here. While the brand does offer the option of a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive version overseas, we expect the model to only be available in its dual-motor, all-wheel drive guise just like the XC40 Recharge. Expect the car to be priced at a premium over the XC40 Recharge, which currently retails at Rs 56.9 lakh (ex-showroom).
