2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge is a compact electric SUV with seating for five people and up to 57.5 cubic feet of cargo space. It is available in Single Motor Extended Range and Twin Motor models, each offered in Core, Plus and Ultimate trim levels. Volvo equips the Single Motor version with an electric motor (248 horsepower, 310 lb-ft of torque) that powers the SUV's rear wheels. Twin Motor models have front and rear motors (402 horsepower, 494 lb-ft of torque) to create a standard all-wheel-drive system. Keep reading for our rundown of the key features you get with each trim level.

Core
The Core trim includes a generous list of standard equipment. Highlights include:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Remote keyless entry with emergency call assist
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control with air filtration system
  • 12-inch digital instrumentation panel
  • Synthetic leather with recycled textile inserts
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Google built-in (provides extra Google-based voice command functionality)
  • Apple CarPlay
  • Wireless smartphone charger
  • Eight-speaker audio system

In addition, the Core trim has several driver assist features:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • 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)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

Plus
If you're looking for a few extra features, the Plus trim delivers with:

  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Air purification system
  • Synthetic suede upholstery with synthetic leather bolsters
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the XC40 Recharge and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of, to the side, or behind the vehicle when parking)

Ultimate
For the maximum amount of equipment and technology, the Ultimate adds:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Upgraded headlights
  • Heat pump (heats the cabin more efficiently than a normal heater)
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated rear seats
  • Harman Kardon premium sound system
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Volvo and the car in front)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

A Climate package is available for the Core and Plus trim levels. It includes:

  • Heat pump
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated rear seats

Which XC40 Recharge trim does Edmunds recommend?

Two factors that drive EV ownership satisfaction are a long driving range and quick charging times. As such, we recommend the new XC40 Recharge Single Motor Extended Range version because you get improvements on both metrics compared to the Twin Motor. You can also likely get away with buying the base Core trim level. But if you want adaptive cruise control and a heat pump (which helps with overall efficiency), you'll need to buy the most expensive Ultimate trim.
