EC40 Twin Motor (MY26-27)

The Volvo EC40 Twin Motor (MY26-27) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2025 to 2026, when it cost £52,860 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds, quicker than 74% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 249 miles (400 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 46% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 131st of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.1 mi/kWh (198 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 79 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 110 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 272 miles (438 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £30,100–£34,400 and a 2026 one at £30,100–£34,400, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 244 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
