Volvo XC40 Recharge Plus vs Ultimate: Tech specs

Volvo XC40 Recharge	Plus Variant	Ultimate Variant
Max output	238 hp	408 hp
Max torque	420 Nm	660 Nm
Battery capacity	69 kWh	78 kWh
WLTP range	475 km	505 km
0-100 kmph	7.3 seconds	4.9 seconds
Top-speed	180 kmph	180 kmph

The single motor in the more affordable XC40 Recharge – which powers the rear wheels only – produces a peak 238 bhp and 420 Nm of torque, which is 164 bhp and 240 Nm lower than what the XC40 Recharge Twin’s dual-motor setup develops. The claimed 0-100 kmph acceleration time for this variant is 7.3 seconds, which is considerably slower than the Twin’s 4.8-second time. Top speed remains the same at 180 kmph.

This XC40 Single also has a smaller battery pack (69 kWh compared to the Twin’s 78 kWh pack), but its range of up to 475 kilometres isn’t too far off the 505-kilometre range of the Twin (all range figures are WLTP cycle).
