Volvo Car South Africa has just announced pricing for its highly-anticipated XC40 P6 Recharge. Electric vehicles are still a far reach for most locals, but the automaker is on the right path. | Wheels24

• The automaker bills it as the most affordable luxury electric vehicle in SA. Let's face it, electric vehicles are not a priority in South Africa, especially with our dire electricity situation, thanks to Eskom. Besides charging fears, affordability is the next most significant factor. Most South Africans are not in the means to even think of making a mobility switch, even if they wanted to.

Volvo says order books will officially open on Tuesday, 26 July at 08:00 with the XC40 P6 Recharge available exclusively online through the My Volvo website from a starting price of R1 075 000.Volvo Car SA says a limited number of units will be offered, with priority given to the existing waiting list. Cars are scheduled to arrive in South Africa later in 2022.

With a permanently sealed and maintenance-free electric motor mounted on the front axle , the XC40 P6 Recharge boasts maximum outputs of 170kW and 330Nm, facilitating a spirited 0-100km/h sprint time of just 7.4 seconds. Meanwhile, its braked towing capacity of 1 500kg matches that of its more powerful twin-motor sibling.
