Volvo XC40 Comparison
The 2025 Volvo XC40 is an essential model for Volvo, the brand’s best-seller in Australia. While the compact electric SUV version of the XC40 (called recharge) will be rebadged EX40 for 2025 to better align with Volvo’s EV naming strategy.
That means the EX40 will join the existing EX30 and EX90, with more to come. The related C40 Recharge coupe crossover will likewise be rebadged EC40 from 2025.
However, the 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric will remain the same after a relatively major change in 2023 that actually saw the vehicle swap the front-wheel drive setup to rear wheel drive.
It’s otherwise the same XC40 formula that first debuted all the way back in 2017, apart from a mild refresh and a new Google-powered infotainment system from 2023.
