We specified"standard range battery" because another new treat is a second RWD trim: Volvo will plug its 82-kWh battery into the powertrain for those willing to pay. But wait, there's more: The big pack powers an even juicier e-motor making 248 hp. The added gumption boosts range in the XC40 Recharge to 515 km , in the C40 Recharge to 533 km . And again, improved cooling permits uprated charging speed of 200 kW, cutting the run from 10% to 80% SOC to approximately 28 minutes.
Dual-motor variants make the change to asymmetric output as revealed before, giving up two 201-hp e-motors for a new 156-hp motor on the front axle and that in-house 248 hp motor on the rear. In conjunction with better cooling, the XC40 Recharge Twin Motor climbs to 500 km of range on a charge, a 62-km hike, the C40 Recharge Twin Motor to 507 km , a 56-km enhancement. The updated twin-motor siblings are expected to enter production in May, the single-motor versions in the fall.
When we asked Volvo USA last month about the December 2022 report, an automaker spokesperson responded,"We will have more details to share on the U.S. offer at a later date."
