What to watch
Ownership notes before you buy
The captured Volvo India EX40 page resolved to a 404 during the offline crawl snapshot, so the 70 kWh / 573 km WLTP anchor here is taken from Volvo UK's EX40 specifications for the RWD powertrain and converted from the miles figure.
Treat the WLTP number as a planning ceiling rather than a guaranteed mixed-use outcome, especially at sustained highway speeds and hot-weather AC load.
If you prioritise AWD traction and acceleration, the Twin Motor EX40 trims are the clearer performance pick at the expense of efficiency and cost.

India premium Volvo buyers deciding whether the more practical EX40 format matters more than the EC40's coupe-SUV design brief.Reviewed 2026-05-31
Volvo EX40 Single Motor vs Volvo EC40 Single Motor (India)
Both cars sit in Volvo's premium compact-EV family and share similar single-motor intent, but the EX40 is the more conventional compact SUV shape for everyday practicality, while the EC40 is the more style-led coupe-SUV answer for buyers who want the design to be the point of the purchase.
Verdict: Choose the EX40 if rear-seat access, cargo practicality, and a more conventional SUV shape matter most. Choose the EC40 if you value the coupe-SUV design brief enough to trade some everyday utility.
