Volvo recharges its 2024 C40 and XC40 Recharges.
When it comes to electric cars, two motors are better than one. Usually. Well, mostly.
Volvo is updating its C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge smallish SUVish electric things for 2024 with new drivetrains. Both all- and two-wheel-drive models get a new Volvo-designed electric motor that powers the rear wheels. The all-wheel-drive model gets a second electric motor that turns the front wheels. Both drivetrain variations were on hand at a press event in Volvo’s hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden.
The new Volvo electric motor is compact and pairs with a planetary gearset that acts as the differential. The all-wheel-drive version uses slightly higher voltage to spin at slightly higher speeds than the rear-drive version. So, the rear-driver’s motor is rated at 248 hp while the all-wheel driver’s rear motor goes at 255 hp. Plus, of course, the all-wheeler also gets a second asynchronous electric motor up front that contributes 147 hp to the party. That’s a total pony count of 402.
The XC40 Recharge had all-wheel drive aboard and Volvo claims a 0-60 clocking of about 4.7 seconds. It feels even quicker thanks to the instant delivery of torque. The driving character can be personalized through a menu on the large center screen. Leaving the system in “one-pedal” operation and with the steering effort set on firm, it’s not a particularly rewarding car to pilot. The regenerative braking is too aggressive and the steering is unpleasantly heavy.
