The alloy wheels add a sporty look, while at the rear, vertically oriented smooth LED taillights enhance the visual appeal of the SUV.
Inside the cabin, the Volvo C40 Recharge features a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a 12.3-inch digital driver display. It offers various features like heated and ventilated front seats, vegan interior, dual-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, wireless charging and an ADAS safety suite.
