The XC40 Recharge is Volvo’s first electric vehicle for the Indian market. Locally assembled at the company’s plant in Karnataka, the XC40 is offered with an all-wheel drive powertrain with a pair of electric motors on each axle. Total system output is rated at 402 bhp and 660 Nm of torque with Volvo claiming a 0-100 kph time of just 4.9 seconds. The XC40 Recharge comes with an underfloor 79 kWh battery pack giving the EV a claimed range of 418 km.

The XC40 Recharge is expected to be joined by the all-electric C40 Recharge later this year, with Volvo previously having said that it planned to launch one EV per year in India. The carmaker plans to phase out all its internal combustion models globally by 2030 with its range comprising exclusively of EVs.
