Volvo C40 Recharge design highlights
The exterior highlights include Volvo’s signature EV grille, the design for the wheels and the shape of the tail lamps. Inside, too it is standard Volvo fare with the likes of a tablet-like display for the infotainment system, a three-spoke steering wheel and rectangular AC vents. The standard interiors are grey with silver inserts.
Competition check
The Volvo C40 Recharge is a rival for the likes of the BMW i4, Mercedes-Benz EQB as well as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 which is almost 12 lakh lower but packs a similar punch.
