This extended-range variant boasts all-wheel drive capability and is recognized as Volvo’s fastest accelerating car yet. Featuring a charging capacity up to 153 kW, this model offers a remarkable range of approximately 253 miles. Notably, it can recharge from 10 to 80 percent within just over 25 minutes.
A Closer Look at the Premium Volvo EX90
For those seeking something more substantial, the luxury SUV Volvo EX90 starts at $79,995. Launched in November 2022, this flagship vehicle signifies a transformative phase for safety standards at Volvo Cars while promoting environmentally responsible living. The EV is engineered on a dedicated electric platform that balances practicality with complete electrification; it can cover up to an impressive range of about 310 miles on a single charge and achieve an efficient charging time from 10 to 80 percent in roughly half an hour.
Introducing the All-New Volvo EX40
Diversifying their electric lineup further is the newly named Volvo EX40—previously recognized as the XC40 Recharge—which aligns with their updated naming scheme for full-electric models.
This variant features an enhanced battery capacity moving from an impressive rate of 78 kWh to 82 kWh while both Single Motor and Twin Motor configurations now support faster DC charging rates increased to 205 kW, compared to previous rates.* Pricing specifics and additional details regarding its features are expected soon!
The introduction of the EX40 seems well-timed; while smaller than desired by many U.S. buyers—where bigger vehicles tend to reign supreme—the upcoming Ex40 offers more accessibility compared to its pricier counterpart, making it appealing amid stiff competition.
The Case for Electric Volvos: Quality Over Quantity
As highlighted earlier today, every new model offered by Volvo receives commendable five-star safety ratings—a noteworthy aspect that often flies under public radar but deserves greater acknowledgment.
