Pros
- Quick acceleration and enjoyable handling
- Quiet cabin
- Stylish look inside and out
Cons
- Poor rearward visibility
- Subpar range and electrical efficiency
- Small cargo area
What's new
- Supporting Core and Plus trims debut
- Part of the first C40 generation introduced for 2022
Overview
Logically, the 2023 Volvo C40 Recharge would seem to be the inferior choice to the XC40 Recharge that it's based on. Both are small all-electric SUVs, but the C40 has a coupe-style roofline that reduces both passenger headroom and cargo capacity. (Plus, the XC40 isn't particularly roomy to begin with.) But on the upside, the C40 Recharge has one of the sportier looks around in its class, and that alone might make it worth a look.

Edmunds Tested RangeEdmunds begins with a full battery charge and drives the vehicle on a mix of city and highway roads (approximately 60% city, 40% highway) until the battery is almost entirely empty. (We target 10 miles of remaining range for safety.) The miles traveled and the indicated remaining range are added together for the Edmunds Tested Range figure.
EV batteries lose 1-2% of range per year. Est. range for this car is 214 miles after 8 years.Electric cars typically experience 1-2% of range loss per year with slightly faster degradation over the first 50,000 miles as the car settles into its long term state, according to Recurrent's study of 15,000 EVs.
Estimated range mapThis map is a visual representation of the possible one-way and round-trips by this vehicle (on a full charge) from the geometric center of Ashburn, Virginia. The depicted ranges are based on the estimated new vehicle range value provided by the EPA, rounded down to miles for one-way and miles for round-trip.

Whether you opt for the C40 or the XC40, you'll get a thoughtfully designed all-electric SUV with a unique Scandinavian aesthetic, Volvo's commitment to safety tech, and high levels of comfort. With up to 226 miles of estimated range, the C40 won't be able to cruise as far as some other EVs in its class, but its range should be more than enough for most drivers. We also ran the C40 Recharge on Edmunds' real-world range test and observed a more complimentary 252 miles on a single charge.
For 2023, the C40 lineup expands to include the supporting Core and Plus trims. In its inaugural year, it was only available in the top Ultimate trim. These more affordable models should broaden the C40's appeal against other subcompact electric SUVs, which include the Tesla Model Y and the new Lexus RZ 450e.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
8/10
How does the C40 Recharge drive? Even with its striking styling, we think it's safe to call the C40 a sleeper. Accelerating to 60 mph happens in just 4.5 seconds, quicker than Ford's Mach-E and Tesla's Model Y Long Range. And despite the Volvo having some pretty basic all-season tires, there's a reassuring degree of traction and control out of the corners that makes this little SUV pretty fun to whip around. The C40 is more than competent in everything it does.
All this speed doesn't come at the sacrifice of everyday drivability either. The XC40 Recharge is effortless to drive at any speed and features a one-pedal driving mode that dials up the motor's regenerative braking effect, allowing you to slow to a stop without having to use the brake pedal.

Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the C40 Recharge? For a small SUV, the C40 is relatively comfortable. The Recharge starts up and is ready to drive the moment you open the door, and its electric motors produce very little noise. As we're not big fans of the specially designed synthesized noises many EVs emit, we're happy to discover the C40 is free from a gimmicky soundtrack.
The C40's ride leans toward more firm than comfortable, likely because of its extra weight and its bias toward sporty handling. That gives the C40 a slightly busy ride in the city but excellent body control and stability at freeway speeds. The upholstery features recycled materials, and the front seats are fairly comfortable and offer a sufficient level of adjustment. Taller drivers did take issue with the somewhat aggressively angled headrests. The rear seats provide a proper degree of support.

Taller drivers did take issue with the somewhat aggressively angled headrests. The rear seats provide a proper degree of support.
Interior
7/10
How’s the interior? Volvo's typical user interface remains, and most controls are accessed through the 9-inch vertically oriented touchscreen. The C40 uses Google's newest in-car operating system, which includes convenient apps such as Google Maps and Spotify built right into the car. Apple iPhone users can rest easy as Apple CarPlay is supported. One gripe we have is the rather limited amount of information available through the digital instrument cluster.
The C40 has a relatively roomy cabin, even if getting out of the rear seats will likely require ducking your head due to the sloping roofline. There's a little less headroom for rear passengers in the C40 than its mechanical twin, the boxier XC40 Recharge, but it's adequate and the standard panoramic roof makes the interior feel much more spacious. Unfortunately, the C40's rear visibility suffers immensely from its unique styling. In a word, it's poor. The view offered by the backup camera is also partially blocked by bodywork. Thankfully, the surround-view camera system is pretty helpful when maneuvering into tight parking spots.

Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? With the Google operating system onboard, there are some great and some not so great features. We love being able to access apps like Google Maps, and having the excellent Google Assistant as a voice recognition system makes it one of the easier ways to control things. We don't like that a sudden loss of the data connection will render all the Google features useless until the connection is restored.
Four USB-C ports plus two 12-volt outlets and a wireless charger ensure there are ample options for keeping devices charged up. A full suite of advanced driver aids is optional and a bit pricey, but we think it's worth the investment because all the features work quite well. The C40 Ultimate comes standard with Volvo's full suite of advanced driver aids, including Volvo's semi-automated driving technology, Pilot Assist. We were impressed with the consistency and accuracy of the systems.

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The C40's swoopy styling shrinks its cargo capacity down from the XC40 Recharge's already small 20.4 cubic feet to a mere 14.6 cubes. While there is a frunk, it is very small and best suited to holding little more than a charging cable. The cabin offers a variety of other storage spaces and it's easy to keep your personal items organized. Felt-lined doors are a nice touch and help keep items from rattling around.
Using your C40 for kid duty? The child seat anchors are clearly located under flip-up doors, but they're buried a little deep for easy access. You might have the best chance of fitting a bulky rear-facing seat in this car compared to most other SUVs this size, but it'll still be a tight fit.
The C40 can tow up to 2,000 pounds. That's the same as the Polestar 2, less than the Model Y (3,500 pounds) and more than the Mach-E, which is not rated for towing.

Range and Efficiency
7/10
How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates the C40 Recharge has a maximum range of 226 miles and uses 39 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles of driving. Those numbers make it one of the less efficient luxury SUVs despite its small size. For comparison, the Tesla Model Y Long Range only uses 28 kWh for every 100 miles you drive.
In Edmunds' real-world testing, the C40 Recharge proved more efficient. We measured 35.1 kWh used for every 100 miles of driving and a maximum range of 252 miles on a full charge. Those are similar numbers to the Volvo XC40 Recharge we tested, which traveled 240 miles and used 35.4 kWh per 100 miles in our real-world test. Even with its real-world efficiency gains, the C40 lacks the range of most of its rivals.
As far as charging goes, the C40 is relatively speedy. It should take about eight hours to charge from empty to full if you have a 240-volt power source that outputs 11 kW. On a 150-kW DC fast charger, the C40 Recharge can charge from zero to 80% battery capacity in about 35 minutes.

Value
7.5/10
Is the C40 Recharge a good value? While the C40 has some attractive qualities, we don't think it's one of the better values for an EV. It isn't any less expensive than its larger and more spacious competition — the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y — and offers a lot less range than either.
Volvo's basic and powertrain warranties last for four years/50,000 miles, which aligns with the coverage of most competitors. The battery warranty is covered for eight years/100,000 miles, and Volvo covers scheduled services at every 10K miles for up to three years/36,000 miles of ownership. Roadside assistance is included for four years with no mileage limit.

Wildcard
8.5/10
You can call the C40 a Polestar-lite if you want to, but there's no taking away from the effortless and modern way theis electric Volvo goes about its daily duties. Even though it's not marketed as a performance EV, the C40's power and poise make it easy, and even a tad fun, to drive. This is a very well-sorted EV.
It's also chock full of Scandinavian design aesthetic. From the stylish wheels to the extensive use of recycled materials and contrasting interior colors, the C40 has a low-key, upscale look that many design-conscious buyers will prefer to some of the other drab or overly futuristic interiors offered in the competition.

Which C40 Recharge does Edmunds recommend?
We typically don't suggest the top model for most vehicles, but in the case of the Volvo C40, the Ultimate trim gets our recommendation. It costs thousands more than the base Core trim but adds plenty of worthwhile features such as adaptive cruise control, a premium audio system and the Climate package that is optional on lower trims.

2022 Volvo C40 Recharge Ultimate 4dr Hatchback AWD (electric DD)
I love this SUV, but the range is not the best. Volvo claims 240 miles but you are not supposed to charge 100% which brings that down. When it is around freezing the battery drains quickly. How can Tesla and other car companies get over 300 miles? It is great if you are driving short distance. When you drive on the open road longer distances the charge goes away quicker than in stop … and go traffic. The C40 is FAST and has no trouble getting on tight entrance/exit ramps or passing cars on expressways. Navigation is a breeze with voice control and the option to put the map on the front display. The seats are comfortable and the SUV looks great. I just wish it would get more miles on a charge or Volvo would develop an update to increase range. If you plan on driving short distances and charging the C40 at home, you will like this SUV. If you need it for trips 50 miles or more, I would recommend going with a car company that knows how to make more efficient batteries or until there are more charging stations. If you do not need a lot of range than this is a fantastic and fun SUV.

2023 Volvo C40 Recharge Plus 4dr Hatchback AWD (electric DD)
Really like the C40 Recharge a lot. But for its premium price there are a few not so premium things to call out.
The Ride; very firm and choppy. Of course the obsession with larger and larger wheels doesn't help here.
Glass roof doesn't open and lack of a shade.
No Headsup display
No Ventilated seats
Seats aren't up to Volvo Standards
Some cheap … plastic
The GOOD!
This car MOVES and handles quite well for what it is
Fit and Finish are excellent
Sufficient range for MY use. Yes many will say I need XXX before I'll even consider an electric car when in fact they only drive 20-50 miles a day. But what about if I want to drive across country....when is the last time most have done this?
Quickish charging speed
Love the styling.
For the MSRP Volvo needs to up the game. I got the Federal Tax Credit, a $5000 State REBATE, $2500 Costco Rebate, $1000 Volvo Loyalty, and a $500 A-Plan rebate. So for $15+k off the MSRP it was reasonably priced.

2023 Volvo C40 Recharge Ultimate 4dr Hatchback AWD (electric DD)
I have had my C40 recharge Ultimate for a month now and I'm blown away. I have had plug in hybrids before, a Chevy Volt and a Ford Fusion, the first was good the other meh. This is a different car altogether. I knew I wanted a fully electric EV this time and also knew I wanted a SUV or crossover with four wheel drive so I test drove the Tesla Y, the Huyndai Ioniq 5, the Kia EV6 and … finally the Volvo. While I liked the driving experience in the Tesla, the interior just felt cheap and I couldn't get used to having to look to my left to see speed etc. The Huyndai and Kia were nice and I thought I would go that way until I tried the Volvo. Loved the look of the C40 Recharge from the get go and once I drove it I was sold. This is a fast car. When I looked at video reviews, I was struck by the way the seasoned reviewers started grinning when they accelerated, clearly didn't expect that kind of pickup from a Volvo, it's awesome. Also really liked the build quality, much better than Tesla, Kia and Hyundai, this feels like a luxury car to me. The google voice control works really well and the sound system is great. After a month, I am totally loving this car. My only slight negative is the lower range than Tesla, Kia or Hyundai. I would have liked a little better range but it is plenty for my daily commute of 40 miles and a lot more. Have not tried high speed charging yet but I have (free) charging at my work and that works very well. Oh, and I got a very nice deal on the car, that also helped.
A truly innovative EV!

After going back to Volvo with a 10-year hiatus, it is a pleasure to come back to the company after being with Mercedes EVS. Volvo truly knew what they were doing, had a better price, and many more options. It is far Superior to the Mercedes eqs 450 considerably more expensive. If you are interested in an EV , the c40 recharge or the xc40 recharge are excellent choices. I am glad I … bailed on the Mercedes and I'm back with Volvo. Drive safely!

Volvo C40 Recharge vs. Volvo XC40 Recharge
Coupe-like versions of existing SUVs often sacrifice interior space for their sportier silhouette and the C40 is no different. Compared to the more conventional XC40 on which it's based, the C40 gives up about an inch-and-a-half of rear headroom as well as a chunk of cargo capacity. On top of that, the C40 costs a few hundred dollars more.
Volvo C40 Recharge vs. Tesla Model Y
At the time of this review, the Tesla Model Y Long Range costs thousands less than the C40 and has an EPA-estimated range of 330 miles on a single charge. Its range and price should entice plenty of shoppers, but Tesla's build quality, lack of smartphone integration, and stiff ride should be considered too.
Volvo C40 Recharge vs. Lexus RZ 450e
The RZ 450e is a new electric SUV and has an EPA-estimated range of 220 miles on a single charge. It's more than 14 inches longer than the C40 and, as a result, provides more cargo and rear passenger space, but the Lexus also costs about more than the Volvo. The RZ's lack of personal storage and one-pedal driving add to its shortcomings compared to the C40.
