2022 XC40 Recharge features increased range, streamlined options, and complimentary Care Offer

The  Volvo XC40 Recharge luxury compact SUV, the first of many pure-electric vehicles from the Swedish carmaker benefits from a range of enhancements for Model Year 2022.

Updates to the vehicle’s powertrain have added an extra 24 kms of range. The pure-electric SUV is now estimated to deliver 359 kms on a single charge; and owners of existing 2021 models will also be able to increase range via a forthcoming software update. The new XC40 Recharge can charge from ten to 80 percent on a DC fast-charger in 33 minutes.  

Also new for the 2022 model is a recently introduced heat pump, which has been designed to extend the vehicle’s range by an additional 10 percent under certain cold climate conditions.  

The new XC40 Recharge will be the first Volvo model to benefit from a comprehensive and simplified purchasing and ownership experience. One element will be the inclusion of a ‘Care offer’ which, in addition to roadside assistance and the full Volvo New Car Warranty, provides owners with complimentary maintenance service and wear coverage on select items for the first 4 years or 80,000 kms.
