Performance
Two electric motors power the 2023 Volvo C40. These motors are strategically placed for efficient power distribution, one at the front axle and the other at the rear. The C40 comes standard with an all-wheel drive powertrain and delivers up to 402 horsepower.
It would be good to note that this powertrain is much similar to the one offered by the Volvo XC40 Recharge. This powertrain is capable and can push the C40 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. Portsmouth shoppers are looking for a swift and long-range electric SUV around York, ME, will likely enjoy this performance.
The performance of the C40 is further enhanced by a competent suspension, which ensures proper handling and good ride quality. The C40 comes with a 75-kWh battery pack, which gives it enough power storage for an EV range of 225 miles on a full charge. An innovative 150-kW direct current fast charging feature allows it to charge up to 80% in under 40 minutes.
It is possible to recharge your C40 through a 100 or 200-volt outlet, albeit at a much slower pace. Car buyers looking for a swift and long-range electric SUV around Dover, NH, will likely enjoy this performance.
