Volvo C40 Recharge Electric Coupe SUV Launched In India At Rs 61.25 Lakh
Volvo Auto India launched the new Volvo C40 Recharge electric Coupe SUV at Rs 61.25 lakh (ex-showroom) on September 4. Also, customers can order the vehicle directly from the Volvo Cars website from September 5, 5pm onwards.
Speaking about the Volvo C40 Recharge, the electric Coupe SUV will be sold alongside the Volvo XC40 Recharge electric SUV. However, the C40 Recharge clearly looks a lot more modern and sharper than the XC40 Recharge electric SUV.
That being said, the new Volvo C40 Recharge is a completely new model with a new design. Moreover, the model looks distinctly Volvo with its crisp lines and Thor-hammer headlights. Also, design elements such as the sloping roofline, long bonnet, and high ground clearance give the model a distinct silhouette.
According to Volvo Car India, the Volvo C40 Recharge electric SUV will be available in 6 colour options. These shades include Fjord Blue, Crystal White, Onyx Black, Saga Green, Fusion Red and Cloud Blue. It is worth mentioning that the first 4 shades are already available with the Volvo XC40 Recharge.
Coming to the powertrain, the new Volvo C40 Recharge features a large 78kWh battery pack. Furthermore, this electric coupe SUV is propelled by not one but two electric motors placed on each axle. These two electric motors together produce a total of 402bhp and 660Nm of torque.
Thanks to such a powerful setup, the Volvo C40 Recharge electric Coupe SUV can reach 100km/h from a standstill in just 4.7 seconds (0.2 seconds quicker than Volvo XC40 Recharge). However, despite this, the top speed of the Volvo C40 Recharge is limited to just 180km/h.
In terms of charging, Volvo claims that the Volvo C40 Recharge can charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent battery capacity in just 27 minutes using a 150kW DC fast charger. Also, the WLTP range for the Volvo C40 Recharge is rated at 530 kilometres.
It is also worth mentioning that the Volvo C40 Recharge electric coupe SUV comes with an 8-year warranty for its battery pack.
Thoughts: The Volvo C40 Recharge is a decent premium electric SUV that offers unique yet understated styling. Furthermore, the model is expected to further strengthen the Swedish automaker's electric product portfolio in India.
