Volvo Malaysia has recently upgraded its first all-electric crossover sports SUV, the C40 Recharge Pure Electric, with increased battery capacity, faster charging speed, and Pixel LED headlight clusters, with the same price of RM288,888 (without insurance).
The 2024 Volvo C40 RPE is also equipped with AWD dual electric motors, but the motor output has been changed from 150kW in the front and rear to 117kW in the front and 183kW in the rear, with a total output of 300kW (408PS).
The battery capacity has been increased from 78kWh to 82kWh to support higher 200kW DC fast charging, which can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 27 minutes.
Thanks to the new dual-motor configuration and overall efficiency improvements, the C40 RPE's range has been increased by 100 km to 550 km, thanks to an increased battery capacity.
In addition, the 2024 Volvo C40 RPE has been upgraded with new 19-inch alloy wheels and Pixel LED headlight clusters, which can adjust the brightness of specific areas to ensure a clear view of the driver without affecting oncoming cars.
In addition to Onyx Black, Crystal White, Fjord Blue and Sage Green, the original factory has added a new Vapour Grey color.
The 2024 Volvo C40 RPE is priced at RM288,888 (without insurance) despite the upgraded equipment, and comes with a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, an 8-year or 160,000km battery warranty, a 5-year or 100,000km free service package, 5 years roadside assistance and 5 years of free digital services.
