The 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge, the first Volvo designed to be fully electric, will start with an MSRP of $72,600 in Canada.

Powered by twin electric motors, one on the front and one on the rear axle, the C40 features a 78kWh battery that can be fast charged from 10 to 80 per cent in about 33 minutes. The zero tail pipe emission, all-wheel-drive powertrain generates up to 402 hp and 486 lb. ft. of linear torque and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in about 4.7 seconds. The C40 also offers an anticipated range of around 360 km pending final EPA certification. Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play are seamlessly integrated for a uniquely helpful and connected driving experience.

The new C40 Recharge benefits from a comprehensive and simplified purchasing and ownership experience. One element being the inclusion of a 'Care offer' which, in addition to roadside assistance and the full Volvo New Car Warranty, provides owners with complimentary maintenance service and wear coverage on select items for the first 4 years or 80,000 kms.

The new C40 Recharge will be available in the ULTIMATE specification level and includes every available feature; including the Digital Services Package (4-year subscription) with the Android Operating System, oversized fixed Panoramic Moonroof, Advanced Pixel LED lighting, Pilot Assist, Harman Kardon Premium Sound, 360° Surround View Camera, and Unique 20" wheels.

As of December, 2021, interested customers who would like to reserve their C40 can submit a $500.00 deposit online via Volvocars.ca or at their local Retailer. Customers will be able to choose from attractive pre-configured C40s that are ready for simple, transparent, and convenient ordering.
