See the Difference for Yourself
Select a category below to learn more about how the Volvo C40 Recharge compares to the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
PERFORMANCE
The Volvo C40 Recharge and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are masters of their craft. With their electric motors and aerodynamic silhouettes, these models can jet off from Point A to Point B without stopping at a charging station. Which model helps you balance both power and efficiency, though?
Prepared for All Treks
Adding an all-electric SUV to your life gives you more opportunities to explore beyond your usual routes. This is especially true since the Volvo and the Hyundai both offer impressive electric ranges with their standard equipment. See for yourself:
- Volvo C40 Recharge Range: EPA-estimated 226 miles*
- Hyundai Ioniq 5 Range: EPA-estimated 220 miles
The difference isn’t much, which makes both models excellent options for your work commutes or spontaneous weekend road trips.
However, if you plan to take your rig off the pavement into Mother Nature’s playground, you’ll want the Volvo by your side. It equips standard all-wheel drive, which delivers precise grip on slick or low-traction surfaces. The Hyundai is available with HTRAC All-Wheel Drive; however, rear-wheel drive comes standard.
A Healthy Balance
You can save the planet and produce zero emissions while living life in the fast lane! You read that right. Compromising is out of the question, especially for the Volvo C40 Recharge. This model features a groundbreaking twin motor electric system that produces 402 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque.
On the other hand, the Hyundai equips a permanent magnet synchronous motor that expels 168 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It’s also available with a higher configuration that reaches up to 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. This is a great effort on Hyundai’s part to keep up with the Volvo; however, it falls short in terms of maximum horsepower.

The C40 Recharge also has an exclusive design element: topography décor. This dashboard and panel trim consists of a back-lit, translucent, and 3-dimensional décor that offers a soothing glow and ambience. Its design is inspired by Abisko, a mountain district in Sweden!
