Volvo Car Australia is responding to the surging demand for its electric cars in Australia by launching a new, single-motor variant of its popular XC40 Recharge Pure Electric compact luxury SUV.
The new version of the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric comes with a single electric motor on the front axle, and represents a balanced take on power, performance and efficiency.
The electric motor delivers a smooth, linear power output across the speed range, making it supremely smooth and refined to drive just like its twin-motor sibling.
MY23 XC40 Recharge Pure Electric vehicles will feature a new front bumper, frameless grille plate, new headlamp surrounding finishes, and new rear bumper inserts.
The twin-motor XC40 Recharge Pure Electric will also gain class-leading Pixel headlight technology, as well as sustainable upholstery and a new wheel design.
"Demand for XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is unprecedented as Australians embrace electric cars in increasing numbers."

The introduction of the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric single motor comes amid strong ongoing demand for the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric that was launched in August.
"Demand for XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is unprecedented as Australians embrace electric cars in increasing numbers. Our forward order book has never been stronger," said Volvo Car Australia’s managing director, Stephen Connor.
"The introduction of the single-motor variant in 2022 will enable us to respond to this extraordinary demand with even a more affordable Pure Electric option.
"Via this introduction we have delivered a fantastic offering without compromising on our core values and safety."
