2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge Review, Pricing, And Specs

2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric Specs

The 2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge range is 223 miles on a full charge.¹ However, the best way to protect your car's battery long-term is to keep its levels within the 20%-90% range. You can go from 10% to 80% in 37 minutes using a public DC fast-charging station. However, if you have more time to spare, such as when your SUV is tucked into your garage at night, it's often better to use AC charging, which will get you from 0% to 100% on 240 V 48 A in eight hours.

In addition to these numbers, you should know that a Volvo XC40 Recharge can deliver up to 402 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque with its dual electric front and rear motors and 78 kWh 396 V lithium-ion battery system. This vehicle comes standard with front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission.

When a stop light goes from red to green, you can go from 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds and reach a max speed of 112 miles per hour if you find a place where you're legally allowed to do so. A 2,000-pound maximum towing capacity, when properly equipped, can be useful for families going camping or completing home landscaping projects.

2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge Interior Dimensions

This SUV offers comfortable space for your family while remaining maneuverable enough that parallel parking in the city won't be a problem. It measures 174.8 inches long, 75.2 inches wide (without mirrors), and 65 inches tall. This gives those sitting in the front row 37.6 inches of headroom and 40.9 inches of legroom; second-row passengers have slightly more headroom (38.3 inches) and slightly less legroom (36.1 inches).

Its 16 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear row is meant to easily accommodate two suitcases (29.5 inches long, 20.4 inches wide, and 12.2 inches high) lying flat across the bottom with room on top to spare. However, you can also easily expand this storage area to 57.5 cubic feet by folding down the second-row seats. On top of this, there's also a front truck that is useful for packing up your charging equipment and other car care tools. However, if you are looking for something bigger, check out a Volvo XC60 Hybrid, which can run on gasoline but also has a Pure Electric mode.
