Volvo C40 Malaysia: XC40 EV 'coupé' with 402hp, 450km range, priced at RM289k - SoyaCincau

, taking the SUV’s mechanicals and tech—including that car’s impressive performance and range—and repackaging them in a more rakish form.The second CKD locally-assembled EV from VCM, the C40 is available in the same configuration as the XC40, the all-wheel-drive Recharge Twin. It’s priced aton-the-road without insurance, making it RM10,000 more expensive than the XC40. Orders will be opened on VCM’s new online store starting at 8pm tonight.

Juicing the twin motors is the XC40’s 78kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers a range of up to 450km on the WLTP cycle. Users can charge their C40 at a DC fast charging station at up to 150kW, bringing the battery from 10 to 80% in 28 minutes. Alternatively, the car accepts up to 11kW of AC charging through a wallbox, taking eight hours for a full charge.Based on the same Compact Modular Architecture as the XC40, the C40’s lower half is all but identical to its boxier sibling.

The C40 is available in five colours—Thunder Grey, Sage Green, Crystal White, Black Stone and the exclusive Fjord Blue shown here. Unlike the XC40, the car loses out on a black roof but retains 19-inch two-tone alloy wheels.Inside, the C40 is practically identical to the XC40, sporting the same three-spoke steering wheel, 12.3-inch digital instrument display, nine-inch portrait touchscreen and stubby gearlever.

Passengers will feel a little tighter in the C40 than in the XC40, as the lower roofline and glass roof conspire to rob 11mm of headroom, with rear occupants receiving 62mm less headroom. The middle passenger will also have to straddle a large central tunnel, as is the case with the XC40. As for the boot, it measures 413 litres—expandable to 1,205 litres with the rear seats folded—while the bonnet opens up to reveal a 31-litre front boot.
