2023 Volvo C40 Recharge: Price and Specifications

Volvo’s electric SUV is back for the 2023 model year. With impressive performance and many other interesting features, Volvo’s new C40 model is sure to please.

Here’s what there is to know about the new electric Volvo in relation to its powertrain, on-board technologies, cargo volume and, of course, price.

2023 C40 Recharge Powertrain and Performance

All C40 Recharge models come with two electric motors to power it: one mounted at the front of the vehicle and the other at the rear.

This configuration, which makes all-wheel drive standard with this Volvo SUV, is capable of delivering 402 horsepower.

Here are some performance data for the 2023 Volvo C40 that will surely tempt you:

• Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.7 seconds
• Range of 364 km on a full charge
• Fast charging time from 10% to 80% in just 37 minutes

It’s this acceleration and its high-performance all-wheel drive that were highlighted by The Car Guide in their review of the Volvo C40[1].

Volvo C40 On-Board Technologies

In addition to a charming performance, the Volvo C40 offers a wide variety of equipment and accessories inside its cabin.

For example, already in the Core, the base version, there is:

• A panoramic roof
• A 12-inch digital dashboard
• A 9-inch central touchscreen
• Integrated Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play Store, etc.

If the Core version can already satisfy many, there are other interesting accessories in the higher versions, such as a 360° camera and, for the audiophiles out there, a Harman Kardon premium sound system.

For the Swedish manufacturer, safety is just as important as entertainment, which is why the electric Volvo C40 is equipped with the exclusive Volvo BLIS system and a cross-traffic alert with automatic braking.

Thanks to these systems, the Volvo C40 can not only warn you well before a collision occurs, but it is capable of braking on its own to keep you and your passengers safe.

C40 Recharge Cargo Volume and Towing Capacity

Inside its trunk, the C40 Recharge offers a cargo capacity of 413 L. If needed, the rear seats can be lowered to increase the cargo volume to a maximum of 1,387L.

Despite this somewhat small cargo volume for an SUV, it is important to know that the C40 comes, like many other electric cars, with an additional storage space under the hood of the vehicle, where the engine would normally be in gasoline cars.

This compartment makes it easy to carry charging cables and other utility items that you won’t use often. Also, this means that the trunk’s utility volume can be fully freed for your various daily needs.

Finally, the Volvo C40 has a towing capacity of 1984 pounds, which will certainly allow it to help you out with some jobs, even if it is not particularly suited for this task when compared to some other Volvo cars.

Prices of the 2023 Volvo C40 Recharge

The Volvo C40 in Canada starts at a manufacturer’s suggested price of $59,950 for the Core version. This is the version you want if you’re interested in the performance and looks of this electric SUV, regardless of the on-board amenities.

In addition to this entry-level version, Volvo Canada offers two higher versions: the Plus and the Ultimate. These two trims allow you to increase the level of accessories and comforts available inside your Volvo vehicle.

The Core version is eligible for the provincial grant for electric vehicle buyers, as it is priced below the $60,000 threshold. Currently, the subsidy amounts to $7,000, an incentive that makes you want to drive green!
