2025 Volvo EX40 Complete Specs and Features Guide

The 2025 Volvo EX40 offers two electric powertrains designed around your specific driving priorities. Your selection between Single Motor Extended Range and Twin Motor AWD determines daily range capabilities, acceleration performance, and all-weather confidence in ways that shape your ownership experience.

Both configurations use an 82 kWh lithium-ion battery yet create distinct driving characteristics. The Single Motor Extended Range prioritizes efficiency and maximum distance per charge, while the Twin Motor AWD focuses on all-weather capability and enhanced performance while maintaining practical range.

Powertrain Configurations

Your Single Motor Extended Range produces 248 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque through rear-wheel drive, delivering 476 km of electric range for drivers who prioritize distance between charging sessions. This rear-motor setup accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7.3 seconds while providing balanced weight distribution and predictable handling dynamics.

The configuration serves commuters with longer daily drives, weekend travelers, or those who prefer minimal charging frequency throughout their routine. Your Twin Motor AWD combines a 147 hp front motor with a 255 hp rear motor, creating 402 hp and 494 lb-ft of total system output for all-weather driving confidence.

This dual-motor architecture accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds while maintaining 418 km of electric range, automatically distributing power between axles for optimal traction on snow, ice, and wet surfaces. The system proves valuable across Canadian seasons, trading just 58 km of range for enhanced control and winter driving capability.

Energy Efficiency and Charging

Your Single Motor variant consumes 2.0 kWh/100km in city conditions and 2.5 kWh/100km on highways, directly reducing operating costs and extending time between charging sessions. The Twin Motor AWD increases consumption to 2.2 kWh/100km city and 2.8 kWh/100km highway, reflecting the additional motor while maintaining practical daily range for most driving patterns.

Both powertrains share identical 82 kWh battery packs with 79 kWh of usable capacity, ensuring consistent charging performance regardless of your configuration choice. DC fast charging at 200 kW completes 10-80% charging in approximately 28 minutes at compatible stations, while home charging accommodates various amperage levels from standard outlets to dedicated 48-amp installations.

Your charging times range from 8 hours at maximum home amperage to overnight charging at lower settings, adapting to apartment living or dedicated home charging setups. The battery management system preconditions cells during charging to optimize speed and protect longevity, allowing you to warm the battery while plugged in for maximum cold-weather range without depleting stored energy.

Interior Space and Design

Your EX40 cabin provides identical dimensions across both powertrains, with 997 mm of front headroom and 955 mm of rear headroom under the panoramic roof configuration. The interior offers 1440 mm of front shoulder width and 1429 mm of rear shoulder width, accommodating five adults comfortably during extended drives.

Front passengers enjoy 1040 mm of legroom while rear occupants have 917 mm, creating space for adults across all seating positions without compromise. Hip room measures 1390 mm front and 1388 mm rear, providing lateral space that prevents cramped positioning during longer journeys.

The cabin design emphasizes ergonomic controls and premium materials while maintaining Volvo's focus on driver-centric layouts. Your interior experience remains consistent between powertrains, allowing your decision to focus purely on driving dynamics rather than cabin comfort considerations.

Cargo Solutions and Storage

Your EX40 delivers 452 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 893 litres with rear seats folded for larger items or vacation gear. Maximum cargo volume reaches 1328 litres when loading to the headliner height, accommodating furniture transport, sports equipment, or extended trip luggage with room to spare.

Additional storage includes 68 litres of separate compartments located around the cargo area, behind wheel arches, and under the floor for organizing tools, emergency supplies, or smaller items. Your front trunk adds 21 litres of secure storage space, ideal for charging cables, first aid kits, or items requiring separation from main cargo areas.

Cargo dimensions provide 887 mm of length from the rear seatback to the tailgate at floor level, with 1004 mm of width between wheel housings for maximum loading flexibility. The 755 mm cargo floor height from ground level facilitates easy loading, while the 733 mm rear opening height accommodates most everyday items without requiring awkward lifting angles.
