Volvo’s 2024 lineup is officially a market reality, having made various changes detailed earlier this year. The biggest news is the C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge going rear-wheel drive in base trim, fitting a more energy-dense battery and more efficient motors, and upping the maximum charge rate. The AWD versions of the Recharge twins get asymmetric-output motors, both drivetrains are good for more range. Over on the XC60, the automaker’s most popular model here, buyers who choose the top Ultimate trim can spec a Black Edition package that does exactly what it sounds like.
Pricing is out for the entire Swedish range in the brand’s Core, Plus and Ultimate trim steps. Unlike with ICE crossovers that have been shedding front-wheel-drive trims, EVs have been adding non-AWD trims to lower the bar to entry. The formula works as expected here, although the difference is less than might be expected. The single-motor 2024 XC40 Recharge saves $1,150 compared to the 2023 dual-motor XC40 Recharge. Thanks to a nominal price increase on the dual-motor AWD, the price difference between the 2024 models in FWD vs. AWD is $1,750.
