New Volvo C40 cheapest model

The Volvo C40 line is called Recharge because it is fully electric and already has two versions, Plus and Ultimate. Soon, the novelty of the most affordable model of the Volvo C40 arrived at the end of 2021.

So, the company's idea is to include a third variant, which bears the name of Core and is more accessible when compared to the others. However, because it is a cheaper version, the new copy would suffer a downgrade, that is, it would be a simpler model.

Currently, the Volvo C40 Recharge is available in two options, the first with 170 kWh (231 hp) and the second with 300 kWh (408 hp). Both have a 75 kWh battery, making the vehicle have a range of approximately 432 km.

The current cost of this car is around 54,817 euros, which is equivalent to R$ 353,600 in Brazil. Therefore, for Volvo to be able to offer a cheaper car from the same range, it will have to limit some features.

Thus, the new vehicle will not have certain items from the accessory package, such as the lane keeping system and cruise control. In addition, you will need to restrict the air purifier, rear collision warning, heated seats and keyless entry.

However, this downgrade will make the value of the Volvo C40 Recharge Core drop to 49,740 euros, corresponding to R$ 320,900 in Brazil. Finally, the engine option will be 231 hp and the new version will have the same 75 kWh battery as the other models.
