Volvo presents yet another electric vehicle option
How often do you actually think about buying an electric vehicle and have you decided on which brand you will support?
Volvo is not just at the forefront of vehicle safety, they are also presenting the market with choice and this, in today’s technologically driven world, is a valuable asset.
The C40, although lower and sleeker, offers SUV-like benefits. The twin-motor version packs a 78kWh (nominal output) lithium-ion battery pack with a range of up to 451km. Peak power is a joyous 300kW and 660Nm with 0-100 km/h achieved in just 4.7 seconds.
Greg Maruszewski, managing director of Volvo Car South Africa said, “Our initial allocations of both the XC40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge Twin were snapped up in double-quick time. We expect the new C40 Recharge to resonate just as strongly with South Africans looking to switch to battery-powered vehicles,” said Maruszewski.
The C40 Recharge presents the driver with an Android-powered touchscreen infotainment system, complete with built-in Google apps and services. Like all tested Volvo models on sale today, the C40 Recharge furthermore features a full five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP.
Local pricing and specifications for the C40 Recharge will be announced closer to the launch in South Africa in the first half of 2023.
