Volvo Cars is introducing a range of updates to its entire car line-up, the most prominent of which is an exterior refresh of its fully electric XC40 Recharge.
The Swedish automaker has also unveiled a single electric motor variant of the pure electric C40 Recharge.
The new C40 and XC40 variants, along with all other new Volvo models, will be available through an updated offer concept, designed to make the online ordering process of Volvo cars easier and more convenient.
According to Volvo, customers will now be able to choose between different equipment levels and select the options that best suit their personal needs.
Volvo says the new offer structure reflects its ambitions to increase price transparency, as well as reduce complexity in its model offering by focusing on attractive pre-selected variants.
When Volvo Cars first presented the XC40 in 2017, it was a fresh, creative and distinctive addition to the Volvo line-up. Five years later, it is an award-winning staple in the company’s portfolio and one of the car maker’s constant top sellers, along with being its best selling model in Ireland last year.
The refreshed version features a new front bumper and a frameless grille plate to keep the all-electric XC40 Recharge visually in sync with the Volvo C40 Recharge. The car’s signature “Thor’s Hammer” headlights are augmented with state-of-the-art pixel LED light technology, enabling them to automatically adapt to traffic in front and efficiently light up the road ahead without dazzling other drivers.
