Our Volvo EX40 Review
The Volvo EX40 is a sedan designed for buyers who want serious long-distance capability without compromising on modern EV comforts. At a starting price of ₹50.10 L ex-showroom, it targets the premium EV segment.
Range & Battery: With a claimed driving range of 475 km from a 69 kWh battery, the Volvo EX40 delivers confidence on highway runs and weekend trips. Expect 380 km real-world range in mixed conditions — roughly 80% of the ARAI figure, which is realistic for Indian driving.
Charging: AC home charging takes about 7 hr. DC fast charging can typically get you from 10-80% in 30-60 minutes depending on the charger.
Comfort & Features: The Volvo EX40 packs modern EV essentials — touchscreen infotainment, connected car features, regenerative braking, and safety tech expected at this price point.
