WATT MATTERS?

The EX40 is the familiar electric Volvo compact SUV under a clearer name. Its restrained design and conventional shape may be reassuring to buyers who dislike EV theatrics.

Australian model-year 2027 Ultra is available with Single Motor Extended Range rear-wheel drive or Twin Motor all-wheel drive. Both use an 82 kWh nominal battery; the preliminary manufacturer electric-range claims are 520 km and 485 km respectively.
