The base XC40 Recharge delivers adequate acceleration along with a healthy amount of range. It's just that the price is rather high compared to other such EV SUVs.
2. 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive
- Base Price: $54,200
- Range: 257 mi
- Battery Capacity: 78.0 kWh

In case you're squinting at the frunk specs: Why yes, the dual-motor XC40 Recharge, or "XC40 Recharge Twin" in Volvo-speak, does indeed have 0.4 more cubic feet of space in its front trunk. Otherwise, it's the classic dual-motor EV tradeoff. You get way more acceleration here, but significantly less range — and you'll pay more for the package.
