The 2026 Volvo EX40 Plus is a stylish compact electric SUV that suits Australian families after a practical daily driver with modern tech and solid safety credentials. It delivers 520 km of electric range, meaning most owners will charge just once or twice a week for typical commuting. One thing to keep in mind is that charging infrastructure varies across Australia, so your access to home charging or public stations will really shape how convenient you find it.
Configure the Ultra Single Motor Extended RangeThe 2026 Volvo EX40 Ultra Twin Motor is a compact electric SUV that suits Australian buyers wanting practical family transport with genuine performance, offering dual-motor AWD drive, 300kW output, and a respectable 485km driving range. Its standout strength is the combination of sharp acceleration (670Nm torque), 5-star ANCAP safety rating, and genuinely low running costs at roughly $1875 annually, making it competitive for long-term ownership. One consideration: with a 536-litre boot and 1800kg towing capacity, it's more suited to small families or empty-nesters than those needing serious cargo space or caravan hauling.

Volvo adds a rear-drive entry to its seven-seat electric flagship. The EX90 Plus Single Motor is $106,990 before on-roads, $18,000 cheaper than the Plus Twin Motor ($124,990) and $28,000 under the Ultra Twin Motor Performance ($134,990). It deletes the front motor for a single 245kW/480Nm rear unit (rear-wheel drive), swaps the 106kWh battery for a smaller 92kWh pack, and drops WLTP range to 479km (from 521km), 0-100km/h to 6.8s (from 5.5s) and braked towing to 1500kg (from 2200kg), though the smaller battery DC charges 10-80% two minutes quicker at 22 minutes. Equipment mirrors the Plus Twin Motor (14.5-inch touchscreen, four-zone climate, heated front seats, 20-inch wheels, 14-speaker audio). The $106,990 price slots under the new $120,000 electric-car Luxury Car Tax threshold due from 1 July 2027 (up from $91,661), making it LCT-free from then while the twin-motors stay taxed. MY27 also deletes the EX90's roof LiDAR. On sale now, Australian deliveries September-October 2026.
