- Volvo is renaming several models as the company works to better differentiate its lineup.
- The Recharge moniker is being dropped as a handful of models adopt the “EX” prefix.
- The EX30 and EX90 are new for 2025, but the C40 Recharge is going on a short hiatus.
Volvo USA is heading into 2025 with two new electric crossovers, a refreshed XC90, and an assortment of renamed vehicles. The company has also dropped the Recharge moniker on all its plug-in hybrids. They’ll simply be known as the T8 going forward and Volvo said the change will reduce confusion between hybrids and EVs.
Sticking with name changes, the electric XC40 Recharge becomes the EX40 while the XC40 moniker will still be used for mild-hybrid variants. The EX40 also gets a slightly higher 205 kW DC fast charging capability as well as a larger capacity 82 kWh battery on the Twin Motor version.

The C40 Recharge is going on a short hiatus as it’s being dropped for 2025. However, it will return for the 2026 model year as the EC40. Volvo didn’t explain their reasoning behind the move, but the company only sold 1,420 C40s in the United States last year.
Getting back to 2025 model year updates, the EX30 is new to America and it starts at $44,900. It features a 69 kWh battery pack as well as a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with 422 hp (315 kW / 428 PS) and 400 lb-ft (542 Nm) of torque. This enables the crossover to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.4 seconds and have an EPA range of 253 miles (407 km).
The EX90 is also new for 2025 and U.S. models are built in Charleston, South Carolina. Pricing starts at $79,995 and that nets buyers a 111 kWh battery pack as well as a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with 402 hp (300 kW / 408 PS) and 568 lb-ft (769 Nm) of torque. This enables the model to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.7 seconds and travel up to 310 miles (499 km) on a single charge.
Lastly, there’s the facelifted 2025.5 XC90. It was introduced last September with a new front fascia and modernized Thor’s Hammer headlights. The model also sports an updated interior with a new infotainment system, higher quality materials, and NVH improvements.
Pricing starts at $58,450 and the entry-level variant has 247 hp (184 kW / 250 PS) and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm) of torque. It enables the all-wheel drive crossover to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 7.3 seconds.
