Volvo C40 2023.

Volvo C40 2023. Gradually, the trend in the popularity of electric cars is reaching our country as well. There are very few «green» cars in Russia right now, but some manufacturers are already thinking about bringing their electric cars to us.

For example, the Volvo C40 2023 is due to appear soon. In Europe, sales of the car started long ago. For example, in Germany the crossover has been offered since last year in three configurations at a price of 49 to 66 thousand euros (2.9 to 3.9 million rubles at the current exchange rate).

The car is equipped with an electric power plant with a maximum output of 402 «horses».

The main competitors of the model are the Audi E-Tron and Tesla Model Y. The electric car will be brought to Russia from the Chinese factory located in the city of Luqiao.

Volvo C40 2023 electric car in the new body appeared quite recently and in Russia sales have not yet started.

Therefore, this article will consider the prices, equipment and technical characteristics of the model for Germany. You can also assess the appearance of the car by photo.

Design

The car has received a very attractive appearance in a modern coupe style with sloped rear pillars and an arched roof.

At the front there are rather «aggressive» looking headlights with LED T-shaped daytime running lights with a European brand nameplate in the center.

At the very bottom there are air intake cutouts, along the edges of which there are compartments with «fog lights».

The profile draws attention with big sports disks, chisels on the doors and plastic plates on the sills and wheel arches. The stern of the parka is equipped with two antifenders, an «austere» bumper and S-shaped lights.

The interior also looks quite attractive, though there is a minimum of decorative elements. Almost all interior details are practical.

In the center of the front console is a separate module, which integrates a vertical monitor multimedia complex, as well as two narrow slots, representing the air deflectors.

Below you can notice a separate climate control unit with analog keys.

On the left side there is an electronic dashboard and multifunction steering wheel. Only high-quality materials are used as trim.

Features and prices

As noted, in Germany Volvo C40 2023 offered in three versions: Core, Plus and Ultimate at a price of 49 to 66 thousand euros (2.9 — 3.9 million rubles at current exchange rates).

Since the technical «stuffing» of the car has no alternative, only the level of equipment can affect the price.

Technical parameters

The Volvo C40 2023 crossover is a coupe-like modification of the XC40 electric car. Accordingly, these parkettes have similar characteristics.

The car is offered with a twin-engine electric power plant, which develops an incredible 408 horsepower (660 N*m of torque).

This system allows the car to accelerate from a place to the first «hundred» in just 4.9 seconds, which is a very good indicator.

The engines are powered by a 78 kWh battery, which allows you to drive up to 416 kilometers.

By the way, the battery can be recharged to 80% in just forty minutes, which is also a significant advantage.

The car is built on an electric modification of the CMA platform with fully independent suspension.

The car has fairly compact dimensions. So, the length of the electric car — 4.43 m, width — 1.86 m, and height — 1.59 m. With such dimensions it is possible to perform any maneuvers in the city without discomfort.

Inside the model there are five seats, each of which is quite spacious, because the wheelbase of the car is 2.7 meters. The trunk with 413 liters is worth noting separately, so you can take all necessary things on a trip.
