The updated Volvo XC40 Recharge Estate is a stylish mid-size SUV, with an impressive array of technological features, stylish design and absolutely zero emissions. Leasing a Volvo electric car offers you the chance to drive an upmarket and powerful SUV, while at the same time supporting the manufacturer's commitment to sustainable energy.

Key highlights

The XC40 offers all-wheel drive, with its twin electric motors providing an effortless 402 bhp. It has all the safety features you'd expect from Volvo, including an array of sensors and exterior cameras that provide you with all-round digital awareness. The XC40 Recharge comes with LED pixel headlights which are self-adapting to driving conditions, with Volvo's trademark contoured taillights framing the rear door and in the bumper.

The XC40 is equipped with the latest in high-tech media capabilities and driving aids. Integrated Google apps and software provide hands-free voice control, maps and real-time navigational information. Leasing a Volvo electric car will also give you access to unlimited data connectivity with their digital services package, as well as remote driver assistance.

Volvo has publicly committed to sustainability and plans to phase out all fossil fuel vehicles by 2030. The interior design of their cars incorporates sustainable materials too, with wool fibre upholstery and a new type of floor carpet constructed from recycled plastic bottles. It's a more robust and blocky car than the C40 Recharge model. There’s more headroom and smart storage, so you can safely pack your laptop, cables, lunch and liquids in specially designed compartments.

Performance & range

This model is designed on Volvo’s compact modular platform, and shares many characteristics with its sister all-electric vehicle, the C40 Recharge. You'll get about  260 miles of driving range, and go from 0-60mph in under 5 seconds. However, the inside is roomier and folding down the rear seats provides a huge amount of transportation space. This makes it a great choice in EV leasing as a family car, and for sports enthusiasts.
