Electric Volvo XC40

[DiaboliK.]

The full electric Volvo XC40 will be unveiled later in 2019, the company has revealed. It's a significant moment for the Swedish brand, as it ramps up its drive to electrify its whole range. The battery-powered XC40 will be the first all-electric production Volvo and is due in showrooms in 2020; hitherto, the focus has been on its new spin-off Polestar brand, which will comprise only plug-in and full electric models such as the Polestar 2 unveiled at the Geneva motor show. Volvo is planning half its sales to be full EVs by 2025.

Volvo XC40: our introduction to the smaller Swedish SUV

The XC40 range was officially unveiled in Milan in late 2017, marking the company’s first proper go at the baby SUV market. The new car kicked off modern-era Volvo’s third and, for now, final model line, the 40-series. It’s built around a new compact car platform Volvo calls CMA (Compact Modular Architecture), which will be shared with the Swedish car maker’s Chinese parent company, Geely. This is the right car at the right time for Volvo. Speaking at the car’s unveil, company president Håkan Samuelsson says the XC40 is ‘intended for a very important segment – probably the world’s fastest-growing segment: small, premium SUVs. So we have the right product for the future.’ Production started at Volvo’s Ghent factory in Belgium in November 2017. First deliveries in the UK began early in 2018.
