2026 Volvo EX40 Specs
The Volvo EX40 range depends on which configuration you select. Let's explore the available powertrains.
The standard Single Motor Extended Range powertrain provides an EPA-estimated 296 miles of range on a full charge.1 Meanwhile, the available Twin Motor option increases the power and acceleration while delivering an impressive 260 miles of range.1
In addition to these numbers, it's important to know that a new Volvo EX40 can deliver up to 402 horsepower and 494 pound-feet of torque with the Twin Motor powertrain or a still-thrilling 248 horsepower with 310 pound-feet of torque in the Single Motor Extended Range model.
You can go from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds with the powerful Volvo EX40 Twin Motor, while the Single Motor Extended Range model reaches the same speed in 6.9 seconds. Both configurations offer a 2,000-pound maximum towing capacity when properly equipped.
For recharging the Volvo EX40 battery, you can go from 10% to 80% in roughly 28 minutes using a public DC fast-charging station,2 regardless of your chosen powertrain. However, when your SUV is charging at home in the garage at night, a 16A AC connection will replenish the battery from 0% to 100% in about eight hours.2
2026 Volvo EX40 Interior Dimensions
This SUV provides comfortable space for five passengers while remaining maneuverable enough for effortless city parking. It measures 174.8 inches long, 75.2 inches wide (without mirrors), and 65 inches tall.
Despite its compact footprint, the cabin offers up to 37.6 inches of headroom and up to 40.9 inches of legroom for the driver and front-row passenger. Second-row passengers enjoy ample headroom at up to 38.3 inches and up to 36.1 inches of legroom.
The new Volvo EX40 has up to 18.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear row, which can easily accommodate suitcases. However, you can also easily expand this storage area to up to 57.5 cubic feet by folding down the second-row seats, allowing for larger loads like furniture. On top of this, there's also a convenient "frunk" (front trunk) that is useful for packing your charging equipment and other car care tools.
However, if you are looking for something bigger, check out a Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid, which can run on gasoline but also has a Pure Electric mode.
