When the Thomas Ingenlath-designed Volvo XC40 was introduced to an eager global consumer market for model year 2018, adoring acclaim was practically universal. The change in design championed the development of luxury compact SUV’s and sedans within the Volvo lineup. Built upon the innovative compact modular architecture (CAM) platform, Volvo ensured that their latest additions were specifically tailored to smaller vehicles.
Such was the success of the XC40 that this platform was recently pushed further into the spotlight when Volvo unveiled their very first battery electric vehicle (BEV) and the XC40 Recharge introduced globally on October 16, 2019.
