The Swedish car company has marked a new chapter in its electrification journey with its newest car.

Volvo Car Malaysia has pulled the covers off of their new electric-only SUV – the Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric – and there’s plenty to look at. Volvo Car Malaysia is a name that is synonymous with luxurious, sustainable, and safe automobiles, so it’s no surprise that their newest addition is a leaner and meaner machine.

Sustainability

Following its predecessor, the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, the luxurious car company has marked a new chapter in its electrification journey with its newest car. The Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric has brought the automobile brand one step closer to its global vision of having a fully electric line-up by 2030 and becoming a climate-neutral company by 2040.

The Electric SUV

Glancing at the car for the first time will not reveal the vehicle’s dynamicity, yet its sultry, sharp, and lean build shows off the car’s prowess. The Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric reaffirms its polished and powerful electric powertrain when it springs to life. Made with an output of 408hp and 660Nm of torque, the car proves that both play and work meld effortlessly well together with this electric SUV. Plus, it can cover a range of over 450 km on a single charge, while also featuring the ability to charge up to 80 per cent in 28 minutes – making it the best machine to cruise down the highway.
