The 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge brings slick styling and zippy performance to the growing crop of luxury electric crossovers. As essentially a coupified version of the XC40 Recharge, the C40 retains that model's refined cabin and generous list of standard tech and safety gear, while sacrificing some practicality for enhanced curb appeal.

That fastback roofline definitely makes the C40 stand out, especially with its frameless doors and decal color options. Inside, Volvo's partnership with Google brings a responsive touchscreen interface with built-in Google Maps/Assistant. Materials quality is impressive given the C40's competitive $54,795 base price, with available upgrades like a Harman Kardon audio system on more expensive trims.

Rear legroom takes a small hit versus the XC40, but overall passenger space remains similar. Cargo capacity suffers more due to the tapering roof, shrinking behind the rear seats from 57 cubes in the XC40 to 50 in the C40. Still, that's enough room for a few large suitcases, while underfloor storage helps manage smaller items.

Powertrain options mirror the XC40's offerings. The standard Single Motor RWD model produces 248 horsepower, hitting 60mph in a brisk 6.6 seconds. Stepping up to the $56,545 Twin Motor AWD version unlocks a more potent 402-hp output capable of firing to 60 in just 4.4 seconds.

EPA-rated driving range lands at 297 miles for RWD and 257 miles for AWD - besting key rivals like the Audi Q4 e-tron. We saw an approximate 200 highway mileage based on a 75 mph test. DC fast charging enables replenishing the battery from 10-80% in around 28 minutes.

Besides the gorgeous Scandinavian styling, Volvo's dedication to safety rings through in the standard tech. The list includes automated emergency braking, active lane control, blind spot monitoring with cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and more. That comprehensive suite earns it high predicted crash test scores too.

In total, the 2024 C40 Recharge impresses as a quick, efficient and upscale EV in an alluring, practical package. Volvo fanatics who prioritize form over max function will flock to the C40 over the XC40. More storage-minded buyers can save money opting for the closely related XC40 Recharge or Volkswagen ID.4. Either way, smart tech and design lift the Volvo as a top choice for an entry luxury electric SUV.
