XC40 Recharge Twin Motor (MY24)

The Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin Motor (MY24) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2024, when it cost £51,755 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 239 miles (385 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 41% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 149th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.0 mi/kWh (205 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 257 miles (414 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 2022 example is estimated at £16,700–£19,600 and a 2024 one at £24,600–£27,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 221 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
