The Volvo EX40 is part of a long tradition of innovative vehicles from the Swedish car manufacturer. As the all-electric version of the popular XC40 SUV, it marks an important step in Volvo’s electrification strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EX40 builds on the Swedish car brand’s rich heritage and represents Volvo’s vision for the future. It shares the platform with the Volvo XC40<\/a>, but offers a purely electric drive.

It adds an environmentally friendly option to the range without compromising on typical Volvo virtues such as safety and comfort<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Volvo EX40 is a compact electric SUV that perfectly combines sustainability and luxury<\/strong>.

The Volvo EX40 is available in different variants, including the single-motor version with rear-wheel drive and the twin-motor version with all-wheel drive. The twin-engine version impresses with 441 hp and acceleration from 0 to 100 km\/h in under five seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The quick-charging function enables the battery to be charged from 10% to 80% in just 28 minutes<\/strong>. This means you remain flexible even on longer journeys and don’t have to plan long charging breaks. Charging at home via a wallbox is also suitable for everyday use, making the car particularly practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside<\/a>, the EX40 impresses with high-quality materials<\/strong> and a well thought-out space concept<\/strong>.

With an entry-level price of CHF 51\u2019850.-<\/strong>, you get a premium vehicle with the latest technology and Volvo’s renowned safety standards. The maintenance costs are significantly lower compared to combustion engines, which has a positive effect on your budget in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Volvo EX40<\/a> is particularly suitable for commuters, families and environmentally conscious city dwellers. Thanks to its compact exterior dimensions, it is manoeuvrable enough for narrow city streets, but at the same time offers enough space for shopping or a weekend trip. Working people appreciate the option of travelling to work emission-free and benefiting from tax relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The EX40 electric car<\/a> from Volvo is also an excellent choice for families<\/strong>.

The vehicle was particularly impressive in winter: the combination of a compact design and the ability to drive smoothly even in deep snow makes the EX40 an ideal companion for the cold months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On uncleared roads with up to 20 centimetres of snow, the EX40 proved to be a real winter warrior<\/strong>. Traction was excellent and we felt safe at all times, even on slippery roads. The option to preheat the windows via the Volvo app was another plus point. At temperatures of minus 17 degrees, we didn’t have to scrape the windscreen clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The interior of the EX40 is not only stylish, but also extremely comfortable. The seats are ergonomically designed and allow you to relax on long journeys. They also contribute to general well-being with their heating, especially in cold seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The technology in the vehicle, such as the simple operation via the touchscreen and the integration of smartphones, makes everyday life easier and more pleasant<\/strong>.
