Volvo Cars India have commenced local production of the XC40 Recharge electric SUV. The first unit of the XC40 Recharge rolled out of Volvo’s Hoskote manufacturing facility near Bangalore, Karnataka. The XC40 Recharge will be joined by the C40 Recharge next year.
After a delay of close to 2 years, Volvo Car India recently launched the XC40 Recharge at Rs. 55.90 lakh ex-showroom. It rivals other electric SUVs in the market like the Kia EV6 and upcoming Mercedes EQB. The XC40 Recharge offers features like a panoramic sunroof, Android-based infotainment system, digital driver’s display, 360-degree parking camera and Harman Kardon premium sound system.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Jyoti Malhotra, Managing Director, Volvo Car India, said, “We had in May this year announced that we would commence local assembly of our all electric offering the XC40 Recharge and today we witnessed the first car rolling off the assembly line at our Hoskote plant near Bengaluru, Karnataka. Historic as this is, today’s event further strengthens our commitment of offering the Indian market a new electric model every year. The rollout is also a step in the right direction towards our goal of becoming an all-electric company by 2030.”
The Volvo XC40 Recharge comes with a 78kWh battery pack with two electric motors. Both electric motors offer a power and torque output of 408PS and 660Nm. The XC40 Recharge comes with a range of 418km on a single charge and we expect its real-world range to be around 300km. It can also do 0-100kmph in 4.90 seconds.
