Volvo C40 Recharge wins ‘Most Desirable Car of the Year’ at the 2022 New Zealand Autocar Car of the Year awards

It is our pleasure to announce that the Volvo C40 Recharge has received the ‘Most Desirable Car of the Year’ award at the 2022 New Zealand Autocar Car of the Year awards. The renowned Autocar Car of the Year awards showcases the best-in-class vehicles that were introduced to the market in the past 12 months.

The Volvo C40 Recharge is undoubtedly a highly desirable vehicle because it not only boasts a standout design, but also seamlessly integrates sustainability, cutting-edge technology, remarkable performance, and luxurious comfort into its stylish package. The C40 Recharge is a pure electric crossover that produces zero emissions and features a sleek and modern design that sets it apart from other electric vehicles on the market.

Volvo C40 – Most Desirable Car of the Year

“Guess it was inevitable that we would admire this new electric SUV from Volvo, given it shares its DNA with our overall COTY from 2021, the Polestar 2. Most thought the look worked too; thank those proportions, it’s a well balanced visual package. Starting at $87,500, the C40 doesn’t get the rebate but that we guess that will ensure a tad more exclusivity. Unlike a Tesla Model Y, it’s not something you’ll see every other minute, and it’s a much nicer thing to be seen in.” – Autocar New Zealand
