The C40 Recharge is for those who value style over practicality.

Striking exterior design · Instant torque in city driving
Rear visibility is poor · Infotainment needs refinement

The 2026 Volvo C40 Recharge hits the streets with a striking design that turns heads before even touching the accelerator. Our drive revealed an electrifying experience with its 248 hp electric motor, delivering instant torque that makes city driving a breeze. The cabin feels like a Scandinavian lounge, yet it's the rear visibility—or lack thereof—that's a glaring oversight. The infotainment system, unfortunately, feels like it skipped a few updates. We were pleasantly surprised by the real-world range—while it doesn’t quite hit the 300-mile mark, it’s ample for daily commutes and weekend getaways. However, if you're planning on packing for a long road trip, be warned: the cargo space leaves much to be desired. This car is perfect for eco-conscious urbanites who prioritize aesthetics and a premium driving experience over sheer practicality.

Our pick: Base ($54,895)
vs. Tesla Model Y: The Model Y offers more range and better cargo space, but the C40 Recharge brings unmatched style and a superior cabin experience.

The C40's fastback roofline looks slick, but when compared to its squareback XC40 sibling it's missing some substance.
