Overview
The Volvo EC40 is Volvo’s compact executive electric SUV, formerly the C40 Recharge, with a five-seat cabin and single-ratio automatic drive. It suits buyers who want a premium EV with up to 554 km WLTP range rather than a low-cost electric SUV. In Malaysia, the EC40 starts from RM248,888.
EC40 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the EC40 range is led by the Ultra Single Motor, now in Malaysia as the rear-wheel-drive EV with 488 km WLTP range and a price RM40,000 below the all-wheel-drive model. The Ultra Twin Motor remains the higher-output choice with an 82 kWh battery, 554 km WLTP range and 408 hp. The EC40 name replaced C40 Recharge in 2025, when Cloud Blue paint was also introduced.

Verdict
The EC40 is not the cheap end of Malaysia’s electric SUV field: the Perodua QV-E, Seres 3 and BYD Atto 2 sit far below it, while the BMW iX1 and MINI Countryman are closer in price. Its case rests on compact executive positioning, the C40 Recharge-to-EC40 update and range of up to 554 km WLTP. The Single Motor makes the line-up easier to enter.
