Volvo Car India made an exciting announcement today, unveiling their latest addition to the electric vehicle lineup, the C40 Recharge. This sleek and stylish electric SUV is set to hit the Indian market in August, with customer deliveries commencing in September. Volvo already offers another electric SUV, the XC40 Recharge, but the C40 Recharge stands out as a born electric vehicle, purposefully designed and developed as an electric car from the ground up, unlike its counterpart.

The India-spec Volvo C40 Recharge is built on the compact modular architecture (CMA) platform, featuring a powerful twin motor setup with a combined output of 408 horsepower and 660 Newton-meters of torque. This impressive performance is made possible by a 78-kilowatt-hour battery, which provides ample power to propel the vehicle. On a single full charge, the C40 Recharge boasts a claimed range of 530 kilometers according to the WLTP testing cycle. Furthermore, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.7 seconds. With all-wheel drive as standard, the C40 Recharge ensures a thrilling and confident driving experience.

Interested buyers will have the opportunity to book the Volvo C40 Recharge directly through the company's website once the prices are announced. However, the deliveries of this electric SUV will take place through authorized Volvo dealerships across the country. Volvo Car India has set ambitious goals for the future, aiming to have 100% electrified vehicles in their portfolio by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2040. The introduction of the C40 Recharge represents a significant milestone in Volvo Car India's commitment to the Indian market and is expected to further expand their luxury market share.

Jyoti Malhotra, the Managing Director of Volvo Car India, expressed his enthusiasm about the new release, stating, "The reveal of the Volvo C40 Recharge marks a significant milestone for Volvo Car India's commitment to the Indian market. Building on the success of the XC40 Recharge, the C40 Recharge will support in expansion of our luxury market share." Further, Malhotra stated the C40 Recharge represents the future of mobility. Blended with innovative design, advanced electric technology, and a steadfast dedication to environmental consciousness. In addition, he emphasized Volvo's pride in introducing a 100% leather-free electric crossover, setting a new standard for sustainable luxury.

With the introduction of the Volvo C40 Recharge, Indian consumers can look forward to experiencing the cutting-edge technology, performance, and sustainability that Volvo Car India aims to deliver. The C40 Recharge represents a significant step towards a greener and more electrified future in the automotive industry.
