Which variant to buy

Pay RM40,000 more for the RM288,888 Ultra Twin Motor if the 82 kWh battery, 554 km range and 408 hp matter more than entry price.

Volvo EC40 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The EC40 gives buyers a choice between a 488 km, 235 hp entry point and a 554 km, 408 hp Twin Motor. The Single Motor sits RM1,912 below the BMW iX1, while the Twin Motor costs more than the BMW iX1, BMW iX1 L and MINI Countryman. The extra RM40,000 is justified by battery capacity, claimed range and power, not a different body or seating layout.
