Volvo C40 Recharge

Volvo Car Malaysia has introduced an update for the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric. While it hasn't adopted the name EC40 just yet, the updated electric SUV gets a few enhancements, while pricing remains unchanged at RM 288,888. One of the key improvement lies in the Volvo C40's battery capacity, which has been increased from 78 to 82 kWh. Despite the seemingly modest increment, coupled with more efficient cooling, this adjustment extends the range by 100 km, now up to 550 km (WLTP). The

Volvo Cars is making changes to its electric vehicle lineup, part of its strategy to transition to a fully electric car manufacturer by 2030. The company has announced a streamlined and standardised approach to naming its fully electric models. The fully-electric Volvo XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge will now be known as the EX40 and EC40 respectively. This aligns them with Volvo's other electric models: the EX30, EX90, and EM90. Note that the XC40 name will still be used for internal combustion

Volvo’s 40-series compact cars, including the Volvo XC40 and C40, are built on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform.

Volvo Cars’ CEO Jim Rowan has now confirmed that it will be dropping the CMA platform in favour of an all-new Nvidia core computing-compatible Volvo exclusive platform.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are fast becoming the new trophy to have. Yes, it’s always nice to have a BMW 7 Series but combustion engine cars, regardless of their status, are now seen as kind of passé. The conversation starters at the golf club’s lounge have moved from V8 cars to high-end EVs, simply because spaceship-inspired EVs have a novelty factor that even flat-six turbocharged sports cars don’t have. If you run a business, especially a technology-related one, you will understand the need to m

You may have heard that there’s a premium electric vehicle (EV) roadshow happening this 2-4 June 2023 weekend in conjunction with RHB Green Financing that’s catered towards making EV ownership convenient for everyone. One of the highlights at the RHB DRIVE Premium & EV Roadshow happening at the Piazza of Pavilion Bukit Jalil this weekend would be the Volvo C40 Recharge that oozes Swedish sultriness from its sweeping roofline. Priced at RM 288,888, Gothenburg’s attempt at coupe-fying a crossover

Temptation to conclude this review with a single line was compelling. “Just buy the XC40 Recharge instead.” But that would’ve been unfair to Lars and Bjorn over at Volvo’s design division in Gothenburg, Sweden. When news of Volvo first coupe-fying its XC40 to birth the creatively-named C40 was a tough one to swallow. It evoked memories of that scene from ‘Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.’ You know the one, when Obi Wan screams at Anakin that he “was the chosen one,” followed by Obi bawling that A
