On November 20th, Volvo’s first pure electric car, the XC40 Recharge, was launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show. The P8 pure electric four-wheel drive intelligent sporty version is priced at 357,000 yuan.
The new car is equipped with two permanent magnet synchronous motors, with a maximum output power of 300 kW (approximately 408 horsepower) and a maximum output torque of 660 N·m. You can refer to the Polestar 2 with the same powertrain for the cruising range.
This price is cheaper than I expected.
If you look at it from the perspective of pure electric SUV market, it may not be considered cheap. But can you imagine buying a joint venture luxury brand SUV with 408 horsepower for 350,000 yuan?
