    Powering the C40 is a pair of e-motors, one at each of the axles, front and rear. Their combined power output stands at 408 hp and 660 Nm of torque.

    With the above configuration, Volvo claims the C40 to hit 100 kmph from naught in just 4.7 seconds.

    The e-motors get their juice from a 78kWh battery that calls for a driving range of 420 km.
