Its official presentation took place last week, but it is already a huge success. In May, 300 units were made available for pre-order and sold out in less than a month.

Shortly after, an additional 150 units were put up for sale, and therefore Volvo wants to keep the price during this phase until the end of the year, meaning those who wish to buy the electric car and its technologies must pay R$ 389,950. Its structure is similar to that of the XC40 Recharge, but with some visual changes. The main change is at the front. The grille has been removed, and now there is a panel with the Volvo logo.

The electric car features Full LED headlights with self-directional capabilities. The headlights also have anti-glare technologies. Additionally, the model includes fog lights. The model has 20-inch aluminum wheels, and its trunk space is even larger than that of the Recharge. Without an engine, the Volvo electric car’s trunk has a capacity of 413 liters.

New Volvo Car Features Multiple Technologies

The interior of the model retains many qualities of its hybrid version, especially with the technologies it possesses. With two new digital screens, one behind the steering wheel, measuring 12.3 inches, and at the center of the vehicle, there is a 9-inch vertical multimedia center.

The Volvo electric car brings a novelty, the unprecedented operating system Google Automotive Services, which includes voice commands to help drivers concentrate on the road.

Additionally, the driver will be able to access native car applications through Google Play. However, besides these gadgets, the Volvo electric car also brings technologies designed to ensure people’s safety, such as:

  • City Safety Pilot Assist
  • Cross Traffic Alert
  • 360º Camera
  • Blind Spot Monitoring System
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Lane Departure Warning System

408 Horsepower

In terms of mechanical assembly, the XC40 Pure Electric comes equipped with two motors called p8 AWD (All Wheel Drive) that can generate 408 horsepower and 660 Nm of torque.

According to Volvo, the model can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, and its top speed is 180 km/h. The model is powered by a 78 kWh battery, allowing the vehicle to have a range of 400 km. It is possible to charge 80% of the vehicle in just 40 minutes, so you can use a fast charging system.
