Customers looking for more range can get a larger 82 kWh battery pack, which is paired with a rear-mounted motor developing 248 hp . While the motor has extra oomph, the dash to 62 mph still takes 7.4 seconds and the top speed remains 112 mph .

While the outgoing models had 201 hp motors front and rear, the new versions have a 157 hp motor up front and a 245 hp motor out back. The motors are paired to an 82kWh battery pack, which benefits from “overall efficiency improvements” in cooling. Thanks to the changes, the XC40 Recharge Twin Motor AWD now has a WLTP range of 500 km, while the C40 Recharge Twin Motor AWD can travel 507 km.
In terms of performance, the all-wheel drive XC40 Recharge can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 112 mph . The C40 variant is two tenths of a second faster to 62 mph , but the top speed remains unchanged.
