Based on the XC40 SUV, the C40 Recharge combines the ride height of an SUV with just the cargo space of a hatchback car. In addition to the scrunched rear roofline, Volvo says the C40 is 'lower and sleeker' than the XC40 recharge. The C40 also has a slightly different front end, a totally new rear view, and a leather-free interior. Like the XC40 Recharge and the Polestar 2, the C40 has a dual-motor setup and 78-kWh battery, and an estimated range over 200 miles. The C40 will be renamed the EC40 for 2026.
