Electrified from the outset, the EX40 is part of Volvo's EV naming strategy and shares Volvo's Compact Modular Architecture; it competes with other premium compact EVs on packaging, safety equipment and cabin quality.\n\nFor 2026 the EX40 is offered in single‑motor rear‑wheel‑drive and twin‑motor all‑wheel‑drive configurations. The single‑motor RWD setup uses a roughly 79.0 kWh lithium‑ion battery and is rated for the longest EPA range (near 296 miles by Volvo claims); the Twin‑Motor AWD package produces about 402 hp (combined) and 494 lb‑ft of torque with an EPA range around 260 miles. The EX40 leans toward comfort and safety rather than sporty handling: buyers get a well‑insulated cabin, Android Automotive with Google built in, a useful front trunk (frunk) and a strong standard ADAS package.", "priceRange": "$56,545 – $62,245 (USD)", "towingCapacity": "2,000 lb", "imageByYear": { "2026": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/Volvo_Volvo_EX40_%282025%29_%2854848375749%29.jpg" }, "galleryByYear": { "2026": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/Volvo_Volvo_EX40_%282025%29_%2854848375749%29.jpg" ], "interior": [] } }, "gallery": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/Volvo_Volvo_EX40_%282025%29_%2854848375749%29.jpg" ], "interior": [] }, "years": { "2025": { "trims": [ { "name": "Core", "description": "Core is the entry-level EX40 trim.
