“I recommend it. It is very hot in the summer, though with the black interior and the porous sun roof.”
2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
Longer electric range is the most important change to the 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge. A new 293-mile Single Motor rear-wheel-drive version joins every trim, while the revised 402-hp Twin Motor AWD version reaches 254 miles.
About the 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge
1st-generation XC40 family; fourth US model year for the fully electric XC40 Recharge, second year after the 2023 styling update, and final year before the EX40 rename.
Volvo positioned the XC40 Recharge as a compact luxury electric SUV that combines familiar SUV usefulness with quiet, smooth one-pedal driving. Its core strengths are Volvo’s safety focus, clean Scandinavian cabin design, useful storage spaces, and a compact footprint suited to everyday commuting and errands. The 2024 range also covered two distinct needs: longer-range rear-wheel drive and quicker, all-weather-oriented dual-motor AWD.
Core is the well-equipped starting point, with heated front seats, digital displays, Apple CarPlay, and blind-spot monitoring. Plus focuses on comfort and easier parking with a panoramic roof, cabin air purifier, and 360-degree camera. The top trim adds highway-driving assistance, adaptive headlights, premium audio, a heat pump, and more heated cabin features.

2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge.
4.2
2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge
(39 reviews)
“It's the perfect size for our little family of 1 adult, 1 child, 1 dog. Might be a little small for a larger family. Amazing driving experience, smooth, quiet, quick. Luxurious without being pretentious. If you drive a lot, be aware of the full charge driving range. The interface is very easy to learn. It's informative without being distracting. I love all the little touches.”
“Be sure you can deal with the range especially when you'll be using heat or air conditioning. They both dramatically impact the distance you can go on a charge.”
