Volvo Car Australia has announced the pricing for its XC40 Recharge Pure Electric compact SUV ahead of the quarter three Australian launch.
The XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is Volvo’s first all-electric vehicle and reinforces the Swedish company’s commitment to electrifying its entire car range by 2025, with full electric or plug-in hybrid variants.
In Australia the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric will be available in one luxury specification at $76,990 MRRP. For this price buyers will get an all-wheel drive SUV with a 400+ km range and packed with the latest safety and infotainment features.
It is powered by twin 150 kW electric motors on the front and rear axles which provides all wheel drive and an impressive power output of 300 kW and 660Nm fed by a 78kWh lithium-ion battery pack under the floor.
The electric motors power it from zero to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds, making the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric one of the most powerful cars Volvo has produced. When fully charged the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric has a projected range of up to 418 kilometres. It is also designed for fast charging from zero to 80% in around 40 minutes.
Inside, the emphasis is on Scandinavian minimalist design using aluminium accents and contrast stitching in the luxury leather accented seats. Unlike other Volvo XC40 models, the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric has no start-stop button. Once it is unlocked, you simply sit in the seat, buckle up, and drive off.
The Clean Zone multi climate system removes harmful outside pollutants and particles from the cabin to deliver fresh air on the inside.
The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is the first vehicle in Australia to come with a fully integrated Google Android Infotainment operating system, with Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play Store built in.
Other standard features include Harmon Kardon Premium Sound System, 20″ 5V Spoke Matt Graphite Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels, heated seats and a swag of safety features, including City Safety, Collision Warning and Mitigation, and Parking Assist.
The vehicle has a five-year unlimited kilometre warranty, a three-year 100,000-kilometre service wear and tear plan which includes wiper blades, brake pads and brake discs, and also an eight-year roadside assistance and an eight-year battery warranty.
The Volvo Cars App allows for direct access to Volvo Cars Call Centres. Customers have an option to request for an insurance quote through Volvo Insurance making this a bundled offer.
