XC60 Recharge: The XC60 has always been a darling for those seeking a midsized SUV with the heart of a lion and the grace of a gazelle. The Recharge version promises performance, impressive electric range for a PHEV, and an array of safety features that Volvo patrons swear by.
- The Sedans that Speak Volumes: S90 Recharge and S60 Recharge
S90 Recharge: Representing the zenith of Volvo’s sedan offerings, the S90 Recharge for 2024 combines opulence with efficiency. This PHEV sedan offers a smooth transition from electric to gasoline propulsion, ensuring the journey remains uninterrupted.
S60 Recharge: Tailored for those who seek dynamic driving experiences without compromising on eco-friendliness, the S60 Recharge offers a compact yet luxurious package. With nimble handling and ample tech integrations, this sedan is a formidable contender in the electric transition race.
- The Versatile Estate: V60 Recharge

Its dual powertrain ensures you’re never far from a power source, making it a practical choice for families and adventurers alike.
- Fully Electric Wonders: C40 Recharge, XC40 Recharge, EX30 and the flagship EX90
C40 Recharge: A newcomer that has already turned heads, the C40 is Volvo’s pure electric commitment to urban mobility. With a design that breaks the mold and a range that challenges even the most established EVs, the C40 isn’t just a car; it’s a statement.
XC40 Recharge: The younger sibling to the XC90 and XC60, the XC40 Recharge steps into 2024 with an all-electric fervor. Compact, yet lacking no luxury, this EV SUV is set to redefine urban electric commutes with its impressive range and safety tech.
EX30: The fully electric EX30 SUV is a compact vehicle which merges Volvo's Scandinavian design, sustainability commitment, and iconic safety. As their first small ground-up all-new electric SUV, the EX30 offers two powertrain choices: one prioritizing range (442 km per charge) and another emphasizing performance (0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds). With the lowest CO2 footprint in Volvo's lineup, the SUV reflects the brand's strong sustainability focus. It will be launched for the 2025 model year.
EX90: The Volvo EX90, a fully electric SUV, is another masterpiece that blends Scandinavian design with state-of-the-art technology. The seven-seater SUV offers a 600 km range per charge, with rapid charging from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes. A standout feature is its bi-directional charging, enabling the car battery to power homes or devices. Powered by a 111kWh battery and two electric motors, the EX90 delivers 517 hp and 910 Nm torque. Emphasizing sustainability, the SUV incorporates recycled steel, aluminium, and plastics. Set for production in the USA and China from 2024, the launch marks Volvo's commitment to releasing an electric car yearly, targeting an all-electric fleet by 2030.
Volvo’s 2024 Recharge lineup isn’t just a glimpse into the future; it's a firm step into an era where performance, luxury, and environmental consciousness coexist. From PHEVs that bridge the current to the forthcoming, to EVs that charge ahead with sheer determination, Volvo is poised to carve its electric path.
