The 2026 Volvo C40 is a battery-electric SUV with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Single Motor Extended Range is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Single Motor Extended Range version develops 252 hp and 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.1 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 180 km/h (112 mph). Its power output is about 29% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 19% 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 82.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 540 km (336 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 15.2 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 200 kW. Its listed range is about 8% above 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 1,596 mm (62.8 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 2,020 kg (4,453 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). That cargo volume is about 25% 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 Extended Range and Twin Motor Performance. Across the range, the specifications span 252 hp to 408 hp, 4.7 s to 7.1 s, and 490 km to 540 km, while listed starting prices run from $39,200-$46,650. 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 2026 Volvo C40 is strongest on price, 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.
