The dual-motor XC40 wrings more miles from the same battery and also gets some chassis tweaks. But it's still absurdly fast.
Dual-motor variants get a new front motor as well, an asynchronous unit that makes a lesser peak of 147 horsepower and is idled when the additional power or traction isn't necessary to boost efficiency. Final EPA numbers aren't yet available, but Volvo's prediction for the dual-motor variant is for a combined MPGe of 98, up from 85 MPGe for the '23 model, and 106 MPGe combined for the rear-motor XC40.
There have been some other small changes to sharpen the driving experience. While the dual-motor XC40 Recharge has always been almost comedically quick given its mission in life—made it among the quickest Volvos we had tested at that point—it also had a chassis that struggled with the challenge of keeping the car's considerable mass under tight control.
The rest of the experience remains very close to the gasoline XC40. The Recharge's cabin is similarly spacious and finished in a variety of interesting materials. Some of these feel more utilitarian than upmarket, especially the textured plastic pieces in the dash and on top of the door panels, but we loved our sample car's gray cloth fabric seats, which were much nicer to the touch than the optional leather.
