Pre-orders for the all-electric Volvo XC40 P8 Recharge commences today with first deliveries expected in August 2021.

Volvo recently reported a global sales increase of 40.8% in Q1 2021 and the XC40 Recharge accounted for 26% of all Volvos sold worldwide in March 2021.

Buyers who are keen to get into the all-electric XC40 P8 Recharge can now place an order via Volvo’s new My Volvo website, which makes purchasing a Volvo quick and simple without having to leave your home.

“All-electric vehicles sold in South Africa have traditionally come with hefty price tags – and this has undoubtedly been a deterrent. We know that there is an appetite in South Africa for electric cars and we were determined to give customers an attractive price,” says Managing Director at Volvo Car South Africa, Greg Maruszewski.

The XC40 Recharge is the Swedish brand’s first all-electric vehicle and the XC40 P8 Recharge is powered by 2 electric motors producing 304 kW and 660 Nm of torque. Acceleration from zero to 100 kph takes just 4.9 seconds with an electric range of 418 km.

The XC40 P8 Recharge also comes with a Volvo CARE package which includes a 5-year warranty and maintenance plan, 3-years insurance, a home charger with charge cables and access to a petrol car for 2 weeks per year for 3 years.

“The Volvo XC40 P8 Recharge all-electric is clearly a sign of things to come; last month the company announced that it would only manufacture electric cars by 2030, with all sales to be online. So, our future is clear, and it will be fully electric, sustainable, and online,” concludes Maruszewski.
