The refreshed Volvo EX40 now has a price in Spain: here are all its improvements
Volvo recently updated the EX40, its oldest electric vehicle in the lineup. This model made its debut in 2019 as the XC40 Recharge and has undergone several restylings over the years, along with a name change. Its ‘coupé’ version, the EC40, has also benefited from these same improvements, affecting its exterior and interior design as well as its technological features.
Aesthetically, the refreshed EX40 is distinguished by new headlamps, though it retains its signature “Thor’s Hammer” lighting design. The bumpers, grille, hood, and side skirts have also been changed to align with Volvo’s current design language. At the rear, attention is drawn to the new LED lights, as well as the redesigned trunk lid and bumper.
The cabin features a larger touchscreen (11.2 inches). The infotainment system still relies on Android Automotive OS. As a new addition, it now includes the Gemini artificial intelligence assistant, which replaces the previous Google Assistant. This advancement allows users to maintain natural conversations with the vehicle using everyday language.
The wireless charger for smartphones has also been updated; additionally, there are new interior combinations. Volvo mentions the Arianne Cardamom leather upholstery with brown maple trim (black maple or aluminum decorative details are also available).
The Volvo EX40 has up to 574 km WLTP range
The EX40 features a new software platform and sensors (new front and side radars, new front camera, twelve ultrasonic sensors, nine parking cameras), which enable several improved assistance functions: the door opening alert system, the upgraded Pilot Assist (which now offers smoother operation and includes lane change assistance), and the 360º vision camera with 3D view...
The Essential, Core, Plus, and Ultra finish levels remain, along with the special Black Edition based on the Plus and Ultra trims. The range still consists of three mechanical options: P5, P5 Long Range, and P8 AWD. The P5 is equipped with a 70 kWh NCM (nickel, cobalt, manganese) battery that provides a WLTP range of 477 km. Its engine delivers 238 hp (175 kW) and powers the rear wheels.
The P5 Long Range delivers 252 HP (185 kW), while its NCM battery has a capacity of 82 kWh. In this case, the range is 574 km according to WLTP standards. The P8 AWD adds a second engine to the front axle, providing four-wheel drive and a combined power of 408 HP (300 kW). The range remains at 537 km WLTP. The P5 starts at 46,950 euros, the P5 Long Range at 51,000 euros, and the P8 AWD at 57,300 euros.
