At the all-new Volvo Cars Walnut Creek, we are always looking to the future. As one of the Bay Area’s premier Volvo car dealers, the future is bright indeed.
We at Volvo Cars Walnut Creek can’t wait for the arrival of the new 2024 models. Next year’s lineup confirms Volvo’s complete commitment to their electric vehicles. Both the 2024 C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge models have been updated to offer increased range.
In addition, for the first time in 25 years, Volvo Cars USA is offering real-wheel drive. Both of these models will be available in rear-wheel configurations which feature the second-generation permanent magnetic electric motor that has been developed in-house at Volvo Cars. Rear-wheel drive distributes the weight of the battery and motors more evenly improving tracking and greater safety.
The new Single Motor Extended Range C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge feature increased power and range. Charging the car from 10 - 80 percent state-of-charge takes approximately 28 minutes.
The Twin Motor all-wheel drive variants are also still available, and benefit from these updates, providing them with additional range. With an asynchronous motor that does not require a constant electrical charge, the Twin Motor conserves energy by engaging the front-axle drive only when it’s needed – contributing to the improvements in range.
“These updates are another big step in our work towards becoming a fully electric car maker by 2030,” said Javier Varela, chief operating officer and deputy chief executive at Volvo Cars. “Range and charging times are new key factors for more and more of our customers, and these improvements make our fully electric models even more attractive than they already were.”
And of course, perhaps the most anticipated arrivals are the all-new, fully electric Volvo EX30 compact SUV that we previewed last month, and the new flagship of Volvo’s electric line – the new seven-seater fully electric Volvo EX90 SUV that has achieved Volvo's highest level of standard safety ever.
To make going electric more convenient, Volvo Cars has adopted the North American Charging Standard which means electric Volvo car drivers will get access to 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Not ready to make the switch to electric? We got you. At Volvo Cars Walnut Creek, we will continue to offer our most popular gas and hybrid models like the XC90, the XC60, XC40, as well as the S90 and S60 sedans.
At Volvo Cars Walnut Creek, the simplicity of Care by Volvo will still be available, allowing subscribers to drive a new Volvo with one monthly payment that includes maintenance, roadside assistance, excess wear protection, and more.
The future of Volvo is just around the corner and, if you’re in Berkeley, Concord, or right here in Walnut Creek, so are we. Please visit us and shop our selection of new Volvo cars and SUVs.
