In terms of powertrain, the Volvo XC40 Recharge is powered by two electric motors, powering each respective axle. These electric motors together produce 402bhp of peak power and 660Nm of peak torque. On top of that, the electric SUV is equipped with a large 78kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

Thanks to such a large battery pack, Volvo claims that the XC40 Recharge could do more than 400 kilometres on a fully charged battery pack and charging this large battery pack from 10 per cent to 80 per cent takes just 28 minutes using a 150kW DC fast charger.

That being said, the Volvo XC40 Recharge sports an identical silhouette to the standard XC40 SUV. In fact, both models share some design elements such as the Thor-hammer LED headlights, L-shaped LED taillamps, identical body lines, and a few more common design elements.

However, the Volvo XC40 Recharge does have some unique design elements to help the electric SUV stand out and this includes design elements such as a completely sealed front grille, a few 'Recharge' badges on the sides, a set of new 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, and more.

At present, the Volvo XC40 Recharge electric SUV is available in just one variant and this variant is priced at Rs 56.90 lakh (ex-showroom, India), making it one of the most affordable luxury electric SUVs in the Indian market.
