The 2019 Volvo XC40 and V40 hatchback will be introduced in pure electric form and will be available in two battery pack options. The new hatchback will be built on the same Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) as the XC40, powered by a range of three- and four-cylinder engines, a plug-in hybrid powertrain and, for the first time, a pure-electric setup.
There will be at least two different battery sizes on offer for each electric car where the base variant will be more cost-efficient, but with a slightly limited range. There will also be a bigger option with a higher price, but more range and more power. The expanded electric range is part of the Swedish manufacturer’s plan to sell 1 million electric cars by 2025. Every Volvo sold from 2019 will feature some form of electrification, while the company wants to have its factories carbon neutral by the time 2025 rolls around.
