Is this car a hybrid vehicle, or does it have a model that is a pure battery electric vehicle?[edit]

Is this car a hybrid vehicle, or does it have a model that is a pure battery electric vehicle? The prose is muddled and the lede does not make clear what sort of power source this car has. Tables mention both a petrol ICE engine and a motor, but nothing clarifies which engines/motors are in which models. Cheers. N2e (talk) 01:51, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, the Volvo XC40 Recharge is the battery electric model, which will be produced as a compliance car sometime by late 2020, per the single source that mentions the thing from late 2019. There is one sentence someone has added to the article about it. More needed, obviously, as sources become available. N2e (talk) 21:49, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Page is confusing and has mistakes[edit]

I agree the page is confusing. The PHEV version is known as XC40 Recharge. The all electric version is mis-named on this page. It is actually named: XC40 Recharge Pure Electric P8 (This is what Volvo Customer Services UK told me last year).

Under the heading: Body and chassis, XC40 Recharge should be correctly named. The PHEV model is missing.

Under the heading: Powertrain\Electric Motors, it is not clear as the models are mis-named and (I believe) it should make it clear what motor the PHEV model uses. It does not make it clear the PHEV model only has one motor. Also under this heading, I believe this section is not needed: Hybrid drivetrain WorstDancer (talk) 08:18, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Division of C40[edit]

The union of XC40 aren't any discussion. The are are different, will be restoring and separate the C40. 5.91.93.168 (talk) 10:21, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the C40 should have it's own page. In the same way the ID.3 does not share the page with ID.4: Volkswagen ID.4 and Volkswagen ID.3 194.218.10.152 (talk) 14:05, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But the ID.5 shares the same article with the ID.4 - a more apple to apple comparison. Between the XC40 and the C40 it only has a different rear roofline, and its Wikipedia entry would be filled with repetition with the other article. Andra Febrian (talk) 15:15, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
