2024 Volvo C40 Recharge Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge is an all-electric subcompact SUV with seating for five. It's available in three trim levels: Core, Plus and Ultimate. Two drivetrain configurations are available for the C40, including a single rear-mounted motor paired with an 82-kWh battery pack and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup powered by a 78-kWh battery. Single-motor variants produce 248 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, while dual-motor models make 402 horsepower and 486 lb-ft. EPA-estimated range is 297 miles with the single-motor and 257 miles with the dual-motor. The C40 Recharge supports DC fast charging of up to 200 kW. Standard equipment highlights include:

Core
The entry-level Core trim comes well appointed with plenty of standard features that include:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Auto-dimming mirrors
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Power tailgate
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Heated front seats
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Digital instrument panel
  • 9-inch center touchscreen with Google-based operating system
  • Apple CarPlay integration
  • Remote monitoring and control via a smartphone app
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Eight-speaker audio system

Standard advanced driver assist features include:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

Plus
The midrange Plus trim adds a few convenience features such as:

  • Foglights
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Front parking sensors
  • Synthetic suede seat inserts
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Configurable cargo floor divider
  • Power-folding rear headrests

Both the Plus and Core trims are eligible for the optional Climate package that adds:

  • Heat pump (heats the cabin more efficiently than normal heater)
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Headlight washers

Ultimate
As the name suggests, the Ultimate is the top trim in the C40 lineup and finishes off the features list with:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Climate package
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Pilot Assist (enhanced lane keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control functionality)
  • Harman Kardon premium audio
  • Air filtration

The Ultimate trim is eligible for a few exclusive options:

  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Wool blend upholstery

Which C40 Recharge trim does Edmunds recommend?

Rarely do we recommend the range-topping model, but in the C40 Recharge's case, the Ultimate trim is a pretty good value. For about $5,000 more than the base Core model, you get adaptive cruise control, enhanced lane keeping, a Harman Karmon premium audio system, and all the contents of the Climate package. The 402 horsepower of the Twin Motor powertrain is tempting but we'd probably go with the Single Motor version, which offers adequate thrust and 40 miles of extra range.
