2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge Trims Comparison

2021 XC40 Recharge trim level differences

The XC40 Recharge is a fully electric extra-small SUV with seating for up to five passengers. It comes in only one trim level: the P8 eAWD. It derives power from a 78-kWh battery located under the floor of the vehicle. Power goes to one electric motor on the front wheels and a second motor attached to the rear wheels, effectively giving the XC40 Recharge full-time all-wheel drive. The system creates a total output of 402 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. Feature highlights include:

Which 2021 XC40 Recharge trim does Edmunds recommend?

In its debut year, Volvo is making the XC40 Recharge available only in the P8 eAWD trim — so that's the one you'll be getting. You can, however, choose from several enticing options. We would order the Harman Kardon premium sound system to elevate the audio experience, as well as the Advanced package to add more driver assistance aids to round out the safety features on board.
