Volvo has started deliveries of the new XC40 Recharge in India with an aim to deliver 100 units by the end of 2022. Jyoti Malhotra, MD, Volvo Car India, handed over the first car in Gujarat. The electric crossover was launched in July this year at Rs 55.90 lakh (ex-showroom) and is available in a single trim, Recharge P8 AWD. The XC40 Recharge is being assembled at the brand’s facility in Hoskote, Karnataka.
The highlights of the XC40 Recharge include LED headlights, a closed-off grille, 19-inch wheels, signature daytime running lights, and LED rear lights. Volvo has also outfitted the electric crossover with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
On the inside, it features a 12-inch driver display, an Android-based nine-inch portrait touchscreen infotainment, a 13-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, an electric sunroof, a wireless charging pad, powered front seats with memory function, and two-zone temperature control.
