Volvo’s popular electric crossover, the XC40 Recharge, is undergoing some changes for the 2025 model year in the United States. The vehicle will now be known as the Volvo EX40, aligning it with the naming convention of other electric models in Volvo’s lineup, such as the EX30 and EX90. The coupe-like C40 Recharge will also be renamed as the EC40, with plans to relaunch as a 2026 model.
One of the major updates for the 2025 Volvo EX40 is the introduction of a larger battery. The Twin Motor versions of the crossover will now come equipped with an 82-kilowatt-hour pack, providing a slight increase in range compared to the previous model. The maximum DC fast charging speed has also been bumped up to 205 kW for both single- and dual-motor variants.
In terms of range, the 2025 Volvo EX40 Single Motor is EPA-rated at 296 miles on a full charge, while the dual-motor variant can travel up to 260 miles. These figures represent improvements over the 2024 XC40 Recharge’s range ratings.
Interestingly, despite Volvo’s announcement that the EC40 will be taking a break before returning as a 2026 model, the EPA still lists two versions of the 2025 EC40 with improved estimated ranges compared to the previous model.
The 2025 Volvo EX40 will be priced starting from $52,500, making it slightly more affordable than its predecessor. The entry-level single-motor version comes at a lower cost, with the top-spec dual-motor variant priced at $60,750.
With the introduction of the EX30 and EX90, Volvo is expanding its electric vehicle lineup in the U.S. These new EVs come at a crucial time as Volvo’s EV sales saw a decline last year. The addition of the EX30 and EX90 alongside the updated EX40 and EC40 demonstrates Volvo’s commitment to electrification and providing customers with a wider range of electric vehicle options.
