2024 Volvo C40 And XC40 Recharge EPA Ratings Emerge
The new model year brings a driving range of almost 300 miles and significantly improved efficiency.
The upcoming 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge and Volvo XC40 Recharge recently were officially listed by EPA, confirming much-improved driving range and efficiency.
The Swedish brand announced in Spring that the all-wheel-drive version will be equipped with a completely new powertrain (new electric motors), while the all-new rear-wheel-drive version will debut with a slightly larger battery (82 kilowatt-hours instead of 78 kWh).
As we can see below, the changes translated into a noticeably better range (up by 31 miles in the case of the AWD). The new RWD models almost reached 300 miles.
The EPA Combined range:
- 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge RWD: 297 miles
- 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge AWD: 257 miles
- 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge RWD: 293 miles
- 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge AWD: 254 miles
Those numbers look much better compared to the 223-226 miles previously.
The most important thing for the 2024 Volvo C40/XC40 Recharge is efficiency, which is noticeably better on the AWD version. The RWD version is about a fifth more efficient than the old AWD.
Energy consumption, including charging losses, of the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge RWD is 107 MPGe: 315 watt-hours per mile. That's comparable with the base Volkswagen ID.4 (RWD).
Considering the energy consumption numbers for highway driving, the highway range is expected to be probably some 20-30 miles lower than the Combined value (over 260 miles for the RWD and over 230 miles for AWD versions).

The upgraded C40/XC40 Recharge duo has one major task and that is to keep the BEV sales momentum going before the dedicated Volvo EX30 and Volvo EX90 arrive in the not-too-distant future.
