The 2024 Volvo C40 is a battery-electric SUV with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 LCI generation. The Single Motor is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Single Motor version develops 252 hp and 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.3 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 180 km/h (112 mph). Its power output is about 23% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 15% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 69.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 476 km (296 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.5 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 200 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,440 mm (174.8 in) in length, 1,873 mm (73.7 in) in width, and 1,592 mm (62.7 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,702 mm (106.4 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 413 litres (14.6 cu ft), expanding to 1,205 litres (42.6 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). That cargo volume is about 23% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Single Motor and Twin Motor. Across the range, the specifications span 252 hp to 408 hp, 4.7 s to 7.3 s, and 444 km to 476 km, while listed starting prices run from $51,900-$58,900. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2024 Volvo C40 does not separate itself through a single dominant headline figure, while power and cargo capacity stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
