Volvo C40 Recharge vs. Volvo XC40 Recharge
- Design and size. The C40 Recharge and the XC40 Recharge have a lot in common. Both are crafted with the world-renowned Volvo commitment to quality, innovation, and luxury. Both seat five people in two rows, and both are 174 inches long with a wheelbase that is 106.4 inches wide. However, each appeals to Castle Rock, MO drivers in different ways. The C40 is an EV in a sporty, compact hatchback design, while the XC40 is an eye-catching SUV. This difference in design leads to one difference in exterior size – the XC40 SUV appearance is slightly taller than the swooping design of the hatchback.
- Cargo space. Whether you play golf or head out for regular road trips, when you need space for all of your important gear, both the C40 Recharge and the XC40 Recharge have you covered. However, as the XC40 is a boxier, SUV-style model, while the C40 is a sleek hatchback design, you'll find a little more room for cargo in the XC40 Recharge, with 25 cubic feet of space available behind the backseat, compared to 14.6 cubic feet in the C40 Recharge.
- Power and range. Once again, these two Volvo models have more similarities than differences, with an identical 402-horsepower rating and 486 pound-feet of torque. Their electric motors can fully charge in 8 hours plugged in, but they differ slightly in their EV driving range averages. Where the C40 Recharge gets an estimated 226 miles on a fully charged system, the XC40 Recharge averages 223 miles.
