    Volvo XC40 Recharge single motor features

    The Volvo XC40 Recharge E60 single motor variant has been dubbed ‘Plus’. Compared to the range-topping Ultimate trim, it misses out on a few features such as Pixel LED headlights, fog lamps, 360-degree camera, side parking sensors, power child safety lock, air-ventilated subwoofer and the Harman Kardon premium sound system.
     
    That said, it’s still fairly well equipped with features like an eight-speaker sound system, two-zone climate control, a 12-inch digital driver's display, a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 19-inch alloy wheels, panoramic sunroof, powered front seats, wireless phone charging and so on. Its safety suite consists of seven airbags, TPMS, park assist and ADAS features like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, cross-traffic alerts and rear collision warning.
