2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric P8 – first batch of 65 CKD EV SUVs delivered, 300 bookings

Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) delivered the first batch of the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric P8 to customers on April 23. A total of 65 owners picked up the keys to their new EV SUV at Volvo dealerships nationwide.

VCM says that to date, it has received over 300 orders of the XC40 EV and expects to deliver a total of 100 units of the SUV to their new owners by the end of this month. Launched in March, the XC40 Electric’s RM262,460 price (on the road with sales tax exemption) was announced earlier this month. It’s the first ever fully electric car to be locally assembled in Malaysia, and the third CKD XC40 variant to roll out from Shah Alam.

The XC40 EV is powered by two electric motors delivering a total system output of 408 PS and 660 Nm. With a 0-100 km/h time of 4.9 seconds, it’s the fastest accelerating Volvo SUV currently on sale. A 78 kWh battery provides a range of up to 418 km from one full charge, on the WLTP cycle.

As for charging, the XC40 EV supports a maximum AC charge rate of 11 kW (Type 2 connection, cable supplied). At this rate, it will take 7.5 hours to fully juice the battery. For DC quick charging, the maximum 150 kW (CCS2 interface) will fill up the battery from 0% to 80% state-of-charge in 33 minutes.

The CKD XC40 EV is priced at RM262,460, which means it undercuts the imported range-topping Hyundai Ioniq 5 Max and the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 AMG Line. It’s around RM20k costlier than the XC40 plug-in hybrid. Included in the RRP is a five-year warranty with five years of free service and roadside assistance. The EV battery gets a separate eight-year warranty.

      And yet after 2 years of border closure, as soon as we reopen they come and flaunt their ghastly barbaric education attitude by stealing, cheating and flouting the laws. Just shows how uneducated these Sinkies became since gained merdeka from m’sia not too long ago.

        The wealthy nations had a bigger say

        Once a wealthier nation than Singapore since independence had ended up with a much weaker currency and lower standard of living than the latter.

        Reason producing unproductive and unneeded talents, mismanagement , siphoning of resources for self enrichment created a hollow vacuum for sharp decline in currency value. Yet sleepy supporters still supporting such group conceptions, hence leading and enabling themselves to relinguish very fast to third world status without brakes.

        Bravo.Bravo

        Well, I think you need to look in the mirror Sparky. There’s a reason Malaysia has always been and will always be a “developing” nation. Look to the Middle East and the wealth of the oil exporting nations, then look at your Bolehasia……Stop projecting.

      LOL! When you factor in COE cost the car is nearly double that pricing. That fact that it is near impossible to charge at HDB flat open parking meant EV in SG is limited to the privileged.
