Volvo C40 Recharge

Essentially a coupe-crossover version of the boxy XC40 small SUV with a sloping rear roofline, the stylish C40 has the distinction of being the first EV-only Volvo model.

Sourced from China, it launches in Australia later this year, and will follow the Volvo in-house EV brand Polestar’s example of being orderable via online only.
