was just 8 months ago that Volvo Car Malaysia launched its first battery electric vehicle , the XC40 Recharge, and in doing so, it was also the first company to assemble a BEV locally. At that time, VCM said that it will launch one new Recharge model each year during the coming 5 years.
While having some common styling elements, the C40 Recharge is of more significance as it was the first BEV produced by Volvo when it was unveiled last year. Unlike the XC40 which has powertrains with combustion engines , the C40 Recharge is available only with a fully electric powertrain. Volvo isn’t particularly detailed when it comes to technical aspects of its vehicles and provides very basic information. The C40 Recharge has all-wheel drive with an electric motor at each axle, and a single-speed transmission. The total output is 408 ps/660Nm of torque which gives it a claimed 0 to 100 km/h capability of 4.7 seconds.
The layout of the interior has a sense of organisation and thoughtfulness, with functionality very evident. The simplicity means that the driver is not distracted having to look at different areas and most of the management of features is done at the 9-inch vertical central display. The graphics on the Volvo C40’s dashboard and front door panels are directly inspired by the Abisko national park in Sweden, as seen in this comparison. The contours of a topography map of the park were traced and used to create an abstract digitalised design with a layered pattern. Backlit by LED lamps, it creates an atmospheric three-dimensional effect.
