Volvo C40 Recharge production line in Ghent, Belgium.
Volvo has begun production of the C40 Recharge at its manufacturing plant in Ghent, Belgium.
The C40 Recharge is the firm’s second fully electric car, following the all-electric variant of the XC40 Recharge.
The electric crossover offers the benefits of an SUV, but has a lower and sleeker design thanks to a striking rear styling and a lower roof line.
Up front, the car sports what the firm describes as the new face for its electric products, as well as headlights equipped with state-of-the-art pixel technology.
The Volvo C40 Recharge will also be available with model-exclusive colour and deco options in the cabin. It is also the first Volvo model to be completely leather-free.
Like the XC40 Recharge, the customer here will also find themselves utilising Volvo’s latest Android-based infotainment system.
Volvo Cars is increasing electric car capacity at the Ghent facility considerably, to 135,000 cars per year.
Production of the C40 Recharge at the site will form a key part of the firm’s plan to sell only fully electric cars by 2030.
