Used 2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge is available in three trim levels: Core, Plus and Ultimate. The XC40 Recharge is powered by a 78-kWh battery pack mounted below the floor of the cabin that sends power to an electric motor at each axle, giving it standard all-wheel drive. Output is an impressive 402 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. Feature highlights include:

Core
Starts you off with:

  • LED headlights
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Four USB-C ports
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Eight-speaker sound system
  • 9-inch center touchscreen with Google-based operating system
  • Apple CarPlay smartphone integration

Standard driver aids include:

  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Collision mitigation braking (applies the brakes automatically to stop the vehicle to avoid or minimize a collision)

Plus
The midtier Plus trim builds on the Core model's generous feature list with:

  • LED foglights
  • Panoramic moonroof
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the XC40 Recharge and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Power-folding rear headrests

Ultimate
The top-level Ultimate trim includes all of the Plus' features, adding:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Volvo and the car in front)
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heat pump (heats the cabin more efficiently than normal heater)
  • Premium Harman Kardon audio system

Which XC40 Recharge trim does Edmunds recommend?

Since all XC40 Recharge models get the same battery and powertrain, we say stick with the base Core trim and save a few bucks. Sure, you miss out on handy features like a 360-degree camera and heated steering wheel, but the base model comes surprisingly well equipped. Your only regret might be not getting adaptive cruise control, which is locked away in the Ultimate trim.
