Volvo EC40 now has a single motor variant available locally.
Volvo Car Malaysia has opened bookings for the new Volvo EC40 single-motor variant, priced at RM248,888. The new option makes the fully electric crossover SUV more accessible, coming in RM40,000 lower than the current twin-motor version while still offering strong performance, range, and premium features.
Performance and Range
The EC40 single-motor variant is offered in Ultra trim and powered by Volvo’s in-house developed permanent magnet rear electric motor, delivering 238 hp (175 kW) and 0–100 km/h acceleration in 7.3 seconds.
A 70kWh high-voltage battery provides up to 488 km (WLTP) on a single charge. With fast DC charging, owners can replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in just 26 minutes, ensuring practicality for both city use and long-distance drives.
Fresh Design and Sustainable Cabin
For 2026, the EC40 introduces a new Sand Dune exterior colour, inspired by Sweden’s west coast dunes, alongside existing choices like Aurora Silver, Onyx Black, and Crystal White.
Inside, the cabin is leather-free, featuring Charcoal Connect suede textile and Charcoal Microtech for a sustainable yet premium feel. Updated Cutting Edge accents on the dashboard and door panels enhance its modern aesthetic.
Next-Generation User Interface
The EC40 single-motor adopts Volvo’s new user interface, first seen in the EX30. With fewer taps required for key functions, it offers a more intuitive experience on the 9-inch Google built-in centre display and 12.3-inch driver’s display.
Safety and Value
As with all Volvo models, the EC40 comes equipped with the brand’s Safe Space Technology suite, featuring advanced driver assistance systems and cutting-edge collision avoidance.
To reward early adopters, Volvo Car Malaysia is offering a free first-year insurance package worth RM5,600 and a wallbox charger voucher worth RM5,000 for a limited time.
Volvo’s Growing EV Lineup in Malaysia
The EC40 remains a key part of Volvo’s push toward 100% electrification, complementing models like the EX30, XC40, and flagship EX90.
