The Volvo C40 Recharge - A symbol of the next generation

Renewable and recycled materials are part of the sustainability equation - as is the fact that the car is fully electric. But for the electrification message to really hit home, the Volvo C40 Recharge has to look the part, and it does so with features that combine symbolism and function. The new wheel design, influenced by the 2018 Volvo 360c concept car, optimizes aerodynamics while providing a dynamic look that matches the powertrain; the rear spoiler emphasizes and supports downforce; and the roofline not only visually relates to the vehicle's range, but also contributes by improving aerodynamic efficiency. And then there are expressive elements like the closed grille and contrasting roof.
