Volvo is soon set to enter the Indian EV market with its XC40 Recharge and join the electric bandwagon in the luxury segment in India. The model was officially showcased in Delhi. It is being targeted for those with an eye out for luxury cars looking for a battery-powered option. The Volvo XC40 Recharge will be available for bookings from June with the deliveries of the first batch of the electric vehicle starting from October.
Volvo is targeting to take on rivals like Mercedes and Jaguar Land Rover. It has been teasing the XC40 Recharge in the Indian market for some time now. It has a claimed range of over 400 kilometres and a certified range of around 335 kilometres. It boasts of a 78 kWh battery pack at its core. The XC40 electric also claims to hit 100 kmph in 4.7 seconds and – much like all Volvo cars being rolled out now – have a capped top speed of 180 kmph.
It is expected to be priced very competitively in India.
