Volvo EX40 Comparison

The Volvo EX40 is a premium compact electric SUV for buyers who want Swedish design, everyday practicality and zero tailpipe-emissions motoring in a city-friendly package. Effectively the battery-electric member of Volvo’s small SUV family, it combines a five-door wagon-style body with an elevated seating position, a refined cabin and the calm, instant response expected of an EV. Depending on grade, the EX40 is available with different drivetrain configurations, giving shoppers scope to prioritise efficiency, performance or all-weather traction. It suits urban and suburban Australian use particularly well, with compact dimensions for parking and school-run duty, plus enough practicality for small families or downsizers. An updated MY27.5 version has been revealed overseas with revised exterior styling, Matrix LED headlights and upgraded infotainment and assistance technology, though Australian timing is still to be confirmed.
