Volvo’s modified the powertrain specifications for the C40 Recharge and also XC40 Charge in Europe in both front- as well as all-wheel-drive trims. (We don’t get the FWD versions here, just the AWD designs.) Initially reported by CarsUK as a report, Autocar dug into the information after the brand-new designs struck some EU configurators. The large adjustment there is that the front-drivers are now rear-drivers, designers moving the single motor to the rear axle for effectiveness. The battery in the single-motor cars remains the same dimension at 67 kWh, yet motor output surges from 228 horse power to 235 hp. Also better, the C40 Recharge goes from an approximated 270 miles on a fee to 296 miles, the XC40 Recharge goes from an estimated 260 miles on a cost to 286 miles on the WLTP cycle.
The AWD Recharge Twin trims get a larger battery, swapping the 78-kWh device (75 kWh functional) for a 82-kWh device (78 kWh functional). Their motors put out the very same consolidated 402 hp as previously, however do so with a rear bias. As opposed to each electric motor making 201 hp, the front electric motor makes 161 hp, the rear 241 hp. Their ranges climb up even more, the C40 getting 37 miles of array to go an approximated 315 miles on a cost, the XC40 including 42 miles to go an estimated 311 miles on the WLTP cycle. Volvo likewise upped the rapid billing capability for the Recharge from 150 kW to 200 kW. The upgrade reduces the fee time from 10% to 80% by 10 minutes, to 27 minutes, matching the moment required for the single-motor trims with the smaller sized battery to re-fill the same quantity.
The modified models can be purchased in Europe now but will not enter into production up until next year, the Recharge variations in May, the single-motor variations in fall. Costs are up about 10%.
It’s thought the Polestar 2 will certainly be in line for the very same changes. We asked Volvo USA about the alterations concerning the U.S., aand representative responded, “We will have even more information to share on the U.S. deal at a later day.”
