New Volvo EX40 Deals

The new Volvo EX40 is a fully electric compact SUV, pairing long range and rapid charging with head-turning Scandinavian style. Formerly known as the XC40 Recharge, it offers a choice of four powertrains, from an efficient single motor covering up to 356 miles to a 442 hp twin-motor performance version. Every EX40 delivers zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. Explore the new EX40 range with Vertu below.

Overview of the New Volvo EX40

The EX40 is the fully electric version of Volvo's popular compact SUV, and it was renamed from the XC40 Recharge to mark its place in the brand's electric line-up. It keeps the confident stance, raised ride height and clear view that made the XC40 a favourite, wrapped in clean Scandinavian design at 4,440mm long. It slips easily through town yet feels substantial on the open road.

There are four electric powertrains to suit different drivers. The Single Motor and Single Motor Extended Range are rear-wheel drive and focus on range, the latter covering up to 356 miles. The Twin Motor and Twin Motor Performance add a second motor for all-wheel-drive traction and strong pace, with the Performance version reaching 62 mph in 4.6 seconds. All four offer zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving.

Practicality is a strong suit. The boot holds 410 litres, rising to 1,400 litres with the rear seats folded, and there's a 31-litre front boot for storing charging cables. Inside, the cabin is calm and well finished, built around a centre touchscreen running Google built-in with four years of unlimited data.

New Volvo EX40 Interior

Inside, the EX40 keeps things clean, comfortable and cleverly organised, with a centre touchscreen running Google built-in. That brings Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play with unlimited data through a four-year digital services package, plus Apple CarPlay for easy phone connection. Core includes wireless phone charging and power four-way lumbar support as standard.

Comfort scales up neatly through the range. Plus adds Pilot Assist and an air purifier with remote cabin pre-cleaning, while Plus Pro brings a 360 degree camera and tinted rear windows. Choose Ultra and you gain a panoramic roof, a power passenger seat and Harman Kardon Premium Sound for richer audio on every journey.

Volvo EX40 Exterior

The EX40 wears Volvo's Scandinavian design with a confident, upright stance, a colour-coordinated front shield in place of a grille and wider rear wheels that sharpen its presence. A roof spoiler and integrated rear diffuser add an athletic edge while improving aerodynamic efficiency and range. The signature Thor's Hammer LED headlights complete the family look.

Step up to the Pixel LED headlights and the technology becomes a talking point. Controlled by a front-mounted camera, each unit uses 84 pixels to shade out up to five vehicles at once, and the beams turn with you through corners to light the road ahead. Personalise the look with wheels up to 20 inches, nine paint colours from Sand Dune to Forest Lake, and the high-gloss styling of the exclusive Black Edition.

Volvo EX40 Trims and Specifications

Full Volvo EX40 specs vary by grade, so it helps to see them side by side before choosing. The EX40 comes in Core, Plus, Plus Pro and Ultra grades, with a distinctive Black Edition alongside them, and equipment builds cumulatively, so every feature on a lower grade carries up to the ones above it. Even Core includes wireless phone charging, adaptive cruise control and Google built-in as standard.

Volvo EX40 Range, Battery and Performance

Every EX40 is fully electric, but the four powertrains suit different needs. The Single Motor and Single Motor Extended Range are rear-wheel drive and prioritise efficiency and range, while the Twin Motor and Twin Motor Performance add all-wheel-drive grip and rapid acceleration. All charge from 10 to 80 per cent in around half an hour on a rapid charger. For more on living with an electric car, explore our electric Volvo range.
