What to watch
Ownership notes before you buy
Volvo's India page says the 530 km figure is preliminary and certification is pending, so buyers should read it as the latest official published claim rather than a guaranteed road-trip outcome.
The sloping coupe-SUV roofline is central to the EC40's appeal, but it gives away some everyday cargo and rear-format practicality versus boxier premium EV SUVs.
