Volvo EX40
Formerly known as XC40 Recharge, the new EX40 is more in line with the rest of Volvo’s electric vehicle portfolio. Inside, the cabin is comfortable and refined, but the multimedia system could be easier to use. Drivers are treated to a nice mix of comfort and agility on the road. The single-motor, RWD-equipped model produces 248 hp and enables a range of 476 km. Output increases to 402 hp while range drops to 418 km in the dual-motor variant.
