These electric SUVs now offer a 248-hp single-motor version that offers 297 miles of range in the C40 and 293 miles of range in the XC40.
The dual-motor configuration continues into 2024 as well and continues to make 402 horsepower like before. But Volvo says that the electric motors are different, with the rear motor now making 255 horsepower and the front motor now an asynchronous type that is able to disconnect when it's not needed. These efficiency improvements, also helped by new 19-inch wheels that are more aerodynamic, mean that the AWD models' 75.0-kWh battery provides considerably more range.
Volvo hasn't released pricing yet, but we expect the RWD versions to cost less than the outgoing 2023 C40 and XC40 Recharge, which were offered only with a dual-motor powertrain and started in the mid-$50,000 range. Volvo says these updated 2024 EVs will go on sale in the United States in the second half of this year.
