With Volvo deciding to revise its vehicle nomenclature, the C40 Recharge has been renamed EC40. It boasts the same configurations as the EX40 (formerly XC40 Recharge), but offers a sportier exterior with a sloping roofline. The downside of that body style is reduced visibility and headroom in the rear. The single-motor, RWD-equipped model produces 248 hp and enables a range of 480 km. Output increases to 402 hp while range drops to 431 km in the dual-motor variant.
