2022 Volvo C40 Recharge VS 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge: Here are the Differences

The 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge and the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge are two small electric SUVs built on the same platform that share their mechanicals and some aspect of their style. Here are the elements that make them their own.

The exterior appearance

The 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge is a modern and sleek Coupe-like SUV that gets noticed everywhere due to its striking roofline that curves down towards the rear in order to give it a sportier look than most of its competition. On the other hand, the XC40 Recharge is a smart-looking premium sub-compact SUV that appeals to more traditional buyers due to its more conventional, but still modern look. Both models are clearly part of the Volvo family due to a number of design cues that are shared with larger models in the lineup, such as the shape of the taillamps, which include a dynamic turn signal on the C40 Recharge, a first for Volvo.

The interior space

The 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge benefits from more room inside due to its higher roofline which remains almost horizontal from the windshield to the liftgate. This allows for more space in the rear seat and in the cargo area, making this model better suited to regularly carrying bulky loads. The C40 Recharge is also very practical however since it retains a fairly large cargo space that can easily be expanded by folding the rear seats.

The pricing structure.

The 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge is the most affordable of the two Volvo electric vehicles since its offers three trim levels instead of the single, fully loaded version proposed by the C40 Recharge. Both strategies have their own advantages since the XC40 Recharge is attainable for more buyers, but the C40 Recharge is easier to order due to the lack of available extras, all being included in the asking price.
