Volvo C40 Recharge Trim Levels Comparison

If you have been dreaming of the day you won't have to pay attention to gas price fluctuations, check out our guide on the Volvo C40 Recharge trim levels. Volvo automakers have worked hard to make their lineup more eco-friendly, which is why regular gasoline powertrains have been replaced with mild hybrid setups and more plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles have made their debut.
Available at Volvo Cars West Houston, the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge is a fully electric crossover with a range of up to 297 miles.1 On top of that, it can take less than 30 minutes to charge from 10% to 80% using a DC fast-charging station.2
Given these impressive performance specs and the comfortable interior dimensions, including 40.9 inches of front and 36.1 inches of rear legroom, most people's next question is about the amenities offered in this vehicle. Since features can differ on a trim-by-trim basis, we've created a thorough Volvo C40 Recharge trim comparison for your review.
A Guide to the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge Trim Levels
Like many other vehicles in the current Volvo Cars lineup, this crossover contains three trims – Core, Plus, and Ultimate. However, what the brand calls the "Core" can easily seem like the ultimate in luxury to someone less familiar with the care Volvo automakers put into their designs.
Two powertrains are available throughout the lineup, including the Single Motor Extended Range with RWD and the Twin Motor with AWD. This fully electric Volvo SUV can achieve 0-60 mph in as quick as 4.6 seconds and boasts a maximum Volvo C40 Recharge towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.

In the meantime, learn all about the features you can expect in each trim below.

Volvo C40 Recharge Core
Getting behind the driver's seat of the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge after a long day of work can feel like a relief in more ways than one. For starters, the driver's seat has power adjustability, and both front seats feature heating capability for cozy comfort. You can take your mind off everything for a while, soaking in the natural light from the panoramic roof and listening to your favorite music through the high-performance audio system. The 9-inch center display and 12-inch instrument cluster make it easy to see and access your SUV's functions.
It is always important to pay attention to the road, but the suite of driver-assistance systems in this crossover can provide you with added peace of mind. These include the following:
- Blind Spot Information System
- Lane Keeping Aid
- Oncoming Lane Mitigation
- Slippery Road Alert
- Rain Sensor
- Rear Collision Mitigation Support
- Rear Park Assist
- Rear Park Assist Camera
Volvo C40 Recharge Plus
Climbing up one more step on the ladder, you find that the Plus trim comes with several upgrades. The integrated fog lights assist you in low visibility conditions, and the 360-degree camera helps provide a more holistic view of your vehicle; this latter system replaces the Core trim's Rear Park Assist Camera feature. The front passenger's seat becomes powered in this trim as well.
Meanwhile, the HomeLink® setup is useful if you have home appliances, alarms, or exterior lighting that can be digitally controlled. It allows you to turn these devices on or off easily from your vehicle. Additional amenities in the Plus include an air purifier and Front, Rear, and Side Park Assist; the Core trim comes with Rear Park Assist.


Volvo C40 Recharge Ultimate
Buying any vehicle is an investment. However, it is often one that you will continue to drive for a decade or more. With that in mind, upgrading to the Ultimate is a gift to yourself that keeps on giving. This trim utilizes a heat pump system that essentially works as a range extender, helping preserve battery power for this EV. To complement the heated front seats we've discussed, heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel also come equipped in the Ultimate.
Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist can make for even smoother travels, as can the 20-inch five-spoke black diamond cut alloy wheels. Your music and audiobooks are also likely to sound crisper when played through the 13-speaker Harman Kardon® premium sound system that comes with an air-ventilated subwoofer.
