The 2026 Volvo EX40 Ultra Single Motor Extended Range 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.

The 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) 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 EX40 TBA

The updated Volvo EX40 is a facelift of Volvo's small battery-electric SUV. Volvo Cars Australia has published the update on its Australian website: new Thor's Hammer Matrix LED headlights, a redesigned front and rear, a larger 11.2-inch centre screen with Google Gemini, and a new radar, camera and sensor platform, while noting that feature availability varies by market. Australian reports quoting Volvo Cars Australia say the updated EX40 arrives in 2027. Australian pricing, grades, range and specifications have not been published, so this listing carries none yet.
